Krabi is a coastal province on the Western coast of Southern Thailand, and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful places in Thailand. Scattered across the water and the land are dramatic limestone rock formations, shaped by winds and ocean, which give the province a unique and fascinating landscape.

 

Hidden away among the cliffs and islands are some of the very best beaches in Thailand, including the renowned Railay Beach, although if you want to experience some solitude, you may need to arrive early.

 

The smooth limestone cliffs attract rock climbers from around the world. One of the most popular places in the province is Phi Phi Island, Ko Phi Phi. It is one of hundreds of islands which are sprinkled across the waters. The interior areas are covered in lush jungles, and are home to wildlife, caves, and waterfalls.

 

Below the surface, things are just as dramatic. Coral reefs, and abundant sea life abound, and there are plenty of options for diving and snorkeling.

 

As a popular tourist destination, there are plenty of options for shopping and eating, as well as an extensive array of ferries and longboats, to get you around to all the best locations, making it a very easy place to concentrate on relaxing, and enjoying the views.
