Krabi is the most relaxing part to be in all of Thailand, it is a province that has the most stunning scenery imaginable, beautiful white beaches that stretch on for miles, a jungle and over 200 islands just of the coast.
How to get to Krabi
Krabi is located on the south-west coast of Thailand, around 800km from Bangkok and 170km from Phuket. It is easily accessible by road, air and sea. Krabi Airport (KBV) is small and conveniently situated for just about everywhere in the province as it is on the main highway, Route 4.
Currently you can fly directly to Krabi year round from different countries: Singapore; Kuala Lumpur; Doha and Hong Kong. The best way to get from Europe is flying to Bangkok and then to Karbi.
If you are travelling from Phuket, it is possible to come directly to Ao Nang on the ferry operated by Ao Nang Travel, or the faster speedboat operated by Green Planet, which also picks up passengers in Koh Yao.

What to do & see

Known for its turquoise water and stunning beaches, the island really is a tropical paradise. You can get there by speedboat which takes about forty five minutes from Krabi mainland.

One of the most popular tours that visitors to Krabi go on is the Four Island Tour. It takes you on a tour of four different islands, and they are usually: Tup Island, Phra Nang Cave, Chicken Island and Poda Island.
The tour is on a long boat and will stop at each location giving you time to swim, sunbathe, explore and stop for lunch.
• Admire the beauty at Phra Nang beach.
Having been voted as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world, this is a place you will not want to miss. The beach has perfect white sand and huge cliffs at each end of the beach.
