Krabi is one of Thailand’s most beautiful destinations. It is home to picturesque beaches set against a background of limestone cliffs and mangrove forests. If you prefer a charming seascape minus the crowd that regularly flocks to Phuket, Krabi proves to be the better choice.

The top attraction in town is Railay Beach, which is only accessible by boat, since the large cliffs cut it off from the mainland. But it is a favorite spot for rock climbers and anyone who wants to enjoy a powdery white sand beach without any distractions. Other great places for swimming and beach bumming in Krabi are Phi Phi Islands and Koh Poda. The Emerald Pool, a natural pond housed within the Thung Teo Forest Natural Park, is another attraction you cannot miss for its vivid color and refreshing vibe.

Krabi offers viable means to get to some of Thailand’s most amazing beaches. The city has ferry connections to Koh Lanta and Phuket, making it a convenient side trip that will add value to your trip. Krabi International Airport also serves connecting direct flights from Singapore and Malaysia; getting there from other Asian destinations is convenient.

Book sooner rather than later if you already have your dates set. Cheaper-priced rooms and hotels with high reviews tend to get fully booked faster, especially during busy days like weekends, holidays & peak tourist seasons.
