Hospitality
Krabi is much more down-to-earth and relaxing than nearby Phuket, serviced by its own airport and far less crowded or developed. Ao Nang is the tourist hub with greatest hotel selection, while peaceful Koh Lanta offers dozens of beachfront rooms. If you’re lucky you’ll get to stay on Railay or Phi Phi, but wherever your Krabi hotel, it’s great value, in a good natural environment and upholds excellent hospitality standards. We’ve teamed up with Agoda to fasttrack you to the best deals and holiday experience, so start searching here.

Krabi travel highlights
The attractions in Krabi are 100 per cent natural, formed millions of years ago with limestone crags and bizarre coastal scenes that are unique to the province. Ao Nang beach sits right among soaring cliffs, and these towering karst walls only get more dramatic at Railay beach, around the corner. Take an offshore daytrip to the famous Phi Phi Archipelago and the creative hand of nature gets even more stunning. If that isn’t impressive enough then time to multiply things ten-fold in breathtaking Pha Nga Bay. At Hong island, it’s taken to the limit as you enter a hidden a lagoon through a cave tunnel. Even inland at Than Bokkarani Park, the Tiger Temple and Emerald pool, there is more enchantment. And if this is all too exhausting, a beach massage at a quiet Koh Lanta resort is the ultimate tropical escape.
