If you want a better idea of what to expect in Krabi, here are five things that will make you fall in love with the region:
The south of Thailand makes hundreds of millions of dollars every year just from tourism alone and Krabi is not a stranger to that fact. It’s one of the most popular locations for tourists thanks to the crystal clear water and beautiful sandy beaches. There are also many diving spots not far from the coast, including Koh Lanta National Park area where you can find many exotic coral reef structures. There’s also an abundance of wildlife under the waves off the coast of Krabi, so if you love scuba diving, you will surely love this place.
There are many cliffs and mountains in Krabi, seeing as the region is located by a mountain range. This means that you don’t have to choose between the ocean and the mountain, seeing as you can enjoy both hiking and swimming on the same day! You can also scale one of the many limestone cliffs in the area, the tallest one being hundreds of meters. Regardless of your skill level, you will be able to find a cliffside in the province that you can enjoy all the same!
Of course, we can’t mention Krabi without talking about its many beaches. There are hundreds of fine beaches in the province, the most famous one being Phra Nang Beach, which was once voted to be in the top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world. It’s located a short 20-minute boat ride away from Ao Nang. Another fantastic location that you must visit while you’re here is the Phi Phi Islands, which is definitely the most famous locations in all of Southeast Asia.
There are many amazing drives in Krabi, as there are some that will surround you with the beautiful cliffside in the east and the gorgeous Andaman Sea in the west. All along the shoreline, you will be able to see many of the oil palm plantations and fruit farms that litter the area. There are also roads that will take you up to see the view of the sea from hundreds of meters above the ground. We recommend that you drive up to the Dragon Crest Mountain to see the view from the best lookout point in Krabi.
There are many natural wonders in Krabi, including the Emerald Pool. Locally known as Sa Morakot, the pool is located deep in Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve that covers over two hundred square kilometers worth of the forested area. You can also enjoy some extraordinary spas and hot springs in Khlong Thom Hot Springs to get rid of the stress and tension that by now has likely resulted from all the traveling you’ve been doing.
