Krabi Holidays
Krabi is one of the most well known destinations in Thailand thanks to its amazing scenery, balanced between the sea and the land, and the famous sugar-loaf rocks which soar out of the turquoise water of the Andaman sea.
Krabi: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Situated in the south of Thailand, Krabi is a tourist hotspot in the south-eastern part of the country and it is an interesting base from which you can go off to explore the islands and beautiful beaches.
My suggestion
I would advise travellers to pass through Krabi rather than Phuket as I thought Krabi was more pleasant and less overrun with tourists.

My suggestion
Go explore Khao Khanap Nam, two vast karst outcrops, 100 meters tall, which you can climb to look at the superb view over the surrounding area. To get there takes about 15 minutes by longtail boat.
A small coastal town in southern Thailand, Krabi is the ideal starting point to discover white sand beaches, each more beautiful than the next.
My suggestion
Don't miss the night market where you can eat for next to nothing and discover some local entertainment... including karaoke!
