Attractions in Krabi, Thailand

#1

Phra Nang Beach

Phra Nang Beach is located on the southern strip of sand in Railay Bay. Measuring 450 metres in length, and reachable by long-tail boat, its fine, white sand, crystal-clear safes shallows for swimming, as well as a coral reef for snorkelling in, giant cliffs for climbing and sea caves for exploring, Phra Nang is as close to Thai island paradise as it gets.

#2

Hong Island

Hong Island – located in the Than Bok Khorani national park – is home to world-class landscapes. Surrounded by indigo sea and with a soft powder-like beach, it's the perfect escape. Ko Hong takes its name from the island's lagoon – this “chamber” translates to Hong and Ko means island. The namesake lagoon is best accessed at low tide by kayak, so you can appreciate the dramatic change in the water's colour from a deep emerald green to a clear turquoise. You'll arrive at the entrance to the lagoon via a dramatic cliff passage that's definitely deserving of a photograph on your way out.

#3

Railay Beach

Railay, also known as Rai Leh, is a small and popular peninsula between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang in Thailand. Thanks to the high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access, it's only accessible by boat. Railay is a backpacker's haven with a beach strewn with budget-friendly bars and restaurants, plus ann abundance of activities from rock climbing to kayaking and parasailing. Walk the sandy paths leading visitors along the bay, lounge on the white-sand beaches, and trek through the jungle. It's real island fun in Thailand.

#4

Poda Island

Koh Poda is an island off the west coast of Thailand, just offshore from Krabi, stretching roughly 8 kilometres from Ao Nang. The Poda Group Islands consist of Ko Poda, Ko Kai, Ko Mo and Ko Thap, all of which are accessible by boat. Explore the little paradise of Poda on a longtail boat cruise, which is the best way to ensure beach time on one of the best beaches in Krabi. Its soft fine sand, crystal clear sea, rare pristine reefs that are perfect for snorkelling and a gorgeous backdrop of rock formations make it picture postcard perfect.

#5

Ko Phi Phi Le

Ko Phi Phi Le is an uninhabited island that lies 1.5 km off the southernmost tip of Phi Phi Don. The island features stunning vertical cliffs capped with green foliage that give way to small sandy beaches and tropical coral seas. The island features 3 main attractions: Maya Bay, Loh Sama, and Pi Leh Bay. Maya Bay is sheltered by 100-metre-high cliffs on 3 sides and has become one of Thailand's most famous tourist attractions since The Beach was filmed there in 1999. Loh Sama, on the southern side of Koh Phi Phi Le, offers incredible snorkelling in its beautiful corals. Boats drop anchor in the shallow waters, allowing you to swim, snorkel, and even feed the tropical fish. Pi Leh Bay is excellent for swimming, with perfect snorkelling opportunities at its entrance. This long thin bay is pretty shallow and only accessible to speedboats and longtail boats.
