Krabi

Krabi province stretches along Thailand’s west coast, where limestone cliffs meet the Andaman Sea. The town of Ao Nang serves as a base for island hopping and rock climbing, while Railay’s beaches sit on a car-free peninsula. Krabi Town shows local life with its night market and river views, away from the tourist zones. Long-tail boats connect beaches and islands, with visitors split between resorts and guesthouses. The area stays busy from November to April when the sea is calm, offering an alternative to Phuket’s bigger tourist scene.
