  • Overview You can't Edit

    Users Assigned: Kazmi  
    Like most of the better-known corners of Thailand, Krabi is all about spotless, dream-like stretches of beach. Krabi’s bay area is the focus of so many jealousy inducing photographs that you’ve probably seen pictures somewhere along the line: countless islands seeming to soar out of the crystal clear water, with exotic, unstable boats floating gently between them.

    At low tide you can even stroll between the bay’s 83 islands, or snorkel your way around eying up the shimmering shoals and flapping turtles beneath you. Nearby Ko Phi Phi is also a mammoth tourist destination, a little resort covered, but home to some of the most impressive beaches you’ll find anywhere in the world, including some ‘out on your own’ uninhabited islands that give you that Leonardo Di Caprio in ‘The Beach’ paradise feeling (without the insanity, hopefully).

    Krabi is often described as a climber’s paradise with lots of rock climbers making there way to the area. Most of Krabi’s most enticing attractions revolve around the sea, varying from adventurous rock climbing over the sizable cliff drop offs to fishing, canoeing, scuba diving and beach sports. The town itself, though, has little to offer, acting as a rustic hub 1000kms to the south of Bangkok through which tourists transfer onto the beachside destinations, with the possible exception of some tumbling inland waterfalls. Much like Goa in India, the inland areas can safely be ignored in favour of the striking draw of the sea.

    If you really want to see the best of it all, grab a local ferry to somewhere more remote or head for the less popular (but equally attractive) mangroves instead of the coral-ground sands. If you’re here for the party, though, head for the Reggae Bar on Phi Phi Island, where every night goes on into the early hours on the beachfront, and the owners occasionally ship punters out to remote beaches for full moon style raves.

    It’s certainly difficult to compete with the Krabi district in terms of stylish beachside life and underwater attractions, with plenty trekking so far south simply to wallow on the sands. Equally, the islands and beaches make the perfect final memory of Thailand before slipping across the border to Malaysia.

    Filter By Tags:

    • Ao Nang
      Ao Nang is a central point of the coastal province of Krabi, Thailand. The town consists chiefly of a main street, which is totally dominated by restaurants, pubs, shops and other commerce aimed at tourists. The main beach is used by sunbathers to a certain extent, but there are hundreds of longtail boats that offer access to other beaches on the mainland and on nearby island.

      There are a number of scuba diving centers, most of which offer basic diving courses. If Diving Ao Nang, consider the local islands which are easy to access and relatively uncrowded compared to many of the Phi Phi Islands sites. Climbing is another activity widely available through centers in Ao nang although most of the climbs are actually in the areas around railay, Tonsai and Phra Nang beaches.

      The main beach at Ao Nang is the main departure point for boats to a number of places, including the nearby resort of Railay (or Rai Leh), which cannot be accessed by road, and the islands Poda Island and Chicken Island.

    • Railay Beach
      A small peninsula located between Ao Nang and Krabi, Railay (Rai Leh)boasts a large beach that is a popular destination for backpackers and family alike. With calm waters and impressive limestone cliffs surrounded by the Andaman sea, it offers an idyllic location less than a 2 hour boat ride to its busier cousin Phi Phi island. Railey is a world-class rock climbers destination as well. Railey beach as its better known as..basically has two main sides. East and West Railey. Less expensive bookings are mostly on the east's mangrove side while the expensive accommodation dominates the west's large beach front. The two sides are an easy walk apart and the broad relaxing beach is always accessible.

      Pra Nang is another fine stretch of sand a short walk from East Railey boasting a famous cave whilst Tonsai, a short jungle hike or boat ride around the cove, is more popular with rock climbers and has its own small day/night life as well as more mid range and lower rooms. All the areas have some sort of climbing although Tonsai seems to be the center of the business. Railey is a laid back Andaman Sea side place that is not only beautiful but still holding its'charm. Railey is only reached by boat, just a short ride from Ao Nang or Krabi town. There are a couple of ATMS available.

    • Phi Phi Islands
      For those of you who have seen the movie The Beach, Koh Phi Phi existed very much like it did in the film: a laid-back, mostly unheard-of tropical island that only the most adventurous sorts traveled to, with only basic accommodations available. However, the popularity of the movie literally sparked a sort of crazed frenzy which sent people rushing in hordes to the archipelago, transforming Koh Phi Phi from a little-known tropical island into one of the hottest island destinations in the region in the earliest part of the 21st century.

      However, Koh Phi Phi’s infrastructure was tragically wiped out in the 2004 tsunami. It has recovered fairly quickly, but services are still not up to par with what they were prior to the devastation. Some people complain that the rush to build new infrastructure combined with mass tourism has stripped the beauty away from the area and transformed it into just another resort town.

      If you can handle the crowds and the constant noise of construction in the major areas, Koh Phi Phi is still an amazing place. Technically it is a small archipelago, with several small islands that make up the whole, with the population staying on Koh Phi Phi Don, which is the largest of the islands. The rest are uninhabited, and literally packed full of wildlife and natural beauty to explore.

      From coral reefs to stone formations, sandy beaches and cliff walls rising out of the sea against tropical jungles and rolling hills, Koh Phi Phi is a breathtaking site at any time of the year. From places like The Viewpoint where you can see over everything to Monkey Beach or Yao Beach, Koh Phi Phi can provide you with whatever your tropical vacation needs to complete itself. From diving to snorkeling to hiking and exploring, you can find it here.

      Unfortunately the recent increase in tourism as well as the lack of clean-up programs has left the once beautiful beaches of Koh Phi Phi Don looking more like a dump than an island paradise. Most tourists were at one time traveling here for the laid back attitude this island was known for and to relax on the beautiful beaches but now bars like Slicks, The Reggae Bar, and Hippy Bar which are drowning out any chance of laid back relaxation you thought you might get with their overly loud techno till 5am.

      Be warned, however; there have been over half a dozen cases of foreigners dying under mysterious circumstances in recent years, with the islands being under investigation as of 2009 by the U.S. Embassy.

        Krabi is a hotspot right now in Thailand and it should. This serene city is connected to the most beautiful island in the world! The movie 'The Beach' where Leonardo Di Caprio played was filmed on Phi Phi Ley called Maya Bay. This little paradise allows travelers to enjoy a tranquil stay while been connected with the locals. There Many beaches around Krabi and beautiful hotel around it. But for an ultimate stay, I spent my vacation in the South of Krabi in Ao Nang Beach. With the beachfront resort, I enjoyed the most beautiful sunset and sunrise the world has to offer! There is a little bar called 'Frog Bar' near the Holiday inn hotel. That spot right there is where you need to be for a great sunset, music, food and sunset. Hang with the locals and owners, read your book and relax! Life is definitely beautiful!
