Combining the luxury of a striking coastline with the excitement of a bustling Thai town, Krabi is a destination with much to offer.
South of Bangkok lies Krabi, set on the beautiful Andaman coastline with a truly humbling landscape.
Where the ocean and sky meet, coral reefs teem with amazing marine life and the magnificent limestone karsts emerging from the sea are just waiting to be explored.
Originally a small fishing town, Krabi now boasts a wide variety of attractions and accommodation from luxury hotels and resorts to simple bungalows that bring you closer to nature.
Discover Krabi's cultural attractions including a number of temples, agricultural and village tours and local craft centres or take advantage of the stunning natural scenery - try your hand at kayaking, diving, cruising or rock climbing.
Krabi offers a wealth of things to see and do, soak up the rays on the glorious shores, indulge in some rejuvenating therapies in a Spa, head off trekking in the nearby national parks or to get a real feel for Thailand take yourself off island hopping.
