Krabi Beaches and Islands

Ao Nang Beach

Dominated by impressive cliffs overlooking a huge stretch of white sand.

Krabi's most popular beach is also a jumping off spot for local boats to Railay, the nearby islands and neighbouring beaches.

A large selection of hotels and bungalows can be found all along the main street and beyond.

Railey Beach

The very essence of a tropical paradise; no roads and no hassle.

Railay's beaches offer lazy days, adventure forays and chilled-out evenings.

Noppharatthara Beach

Quiet and shady. Lined with swaying casuarina trees, Noppharat is a popular weekend getaway with locals and visitors.

Great food vendors selling fried chicken, spicy salad and chilled coconut provide an instant picnic.

Klong Muang Beach

Krabi's latest beach destination, Muang Klong is the preferred location of Krabi's five star and boutique hotels like the Sheraton Krabi Resort, and the Tubkaak Resort.

Quiet and undisturbed.

Koh Phi Phi, Ko Lanta

Hundreds of offshore islands lie off Krabi's coast, ranging from small uninhabited rocky outcrops just offshore, to the larger island groups like Ko Phi Phi and the Lanta island group.

Boats leave regularly from Krabi in high season.

Krabi Town

Krabi town, the provincial capital, is a charming little town which seems to be retaining its identity in the face of developing tourism.

The river is still the hub with fishing boats and river taxis ferrying locals and visitors along the coast and to the islands...

Nearby Islands ....

Krabi's Marine National Park has masses of islands, some as close as 15 minutes from the beach resorts of Ao Nang and Railey.

Hire a local boat or take a snorkeling tour to Koh Poda and the odd-shaped Chicken Island.
