Flights to Krabi

Krabi is an esteemed Thai province with alluring white-sand beaches and picturesque bays. 

Striking limestone cliffs rise out of dazzlingly blue waters, and these unique formations even pepper the horizon inland, peering over thick, wildlife-rich forests. Yet Krabi’s staggering natural beauty is only part of its appeal, with fascinating cultural experiences and a vibrant nightlife making it an incredible snapshot of Thai life. 

The town of Ao Nang is Krabi’s touristic hotbed. Adorned with world-famous beaches, it’s a lively launchpad for exploring the wonders of Phang Nga Bay. But first, a relaxing morning or afternoon on Railay Beach is a must. A long-tail boat trip from Ao Nang Beach – a glorious retreat in its own right – is the only way to reach this sensational spot. Paddle in shallow, turquoise waters and admire the iconic limestone stacks that flank the beach along with a dense blanket of trees. 

Looking out over the bay, you’ll spot a multitude of islands on the horizon. Unforgettable boat excursions to these tropical escapes are a significant part of Krabi’s appeal. Visit the internationally known Phi Phi Islands, a spellbinding archipelago lined with pristine beaches. The largest and most populated island, Ko Phi Phi Don, throngs with activity long into the night. Meanwhile, the serene Ko Phi Phi Le is home to Maya Bay, an exquisite location made famous by the 2000 movie The Beach. 

To the south of Krabi province, Ko Lanta is another mesmerising island adorned with charming palm-lined beaches. Hike through the Mu Ko Lanta National Park at the southwestern tip of the island to discover its most prized natural landscapes and more secluded areas. Ko Lanta is also known for its spectacular dive sites – explore thriving coral reefs and spot whale sharks and manta rays. 

Near Krabi town, the provincial capital, Tiger Cave Temple is a magnificent religious site famed for the arduous yet rewarding climb required to reach it. Ascend 1,237 steps to find its colossal golden statues, labyrinth of caves and legendary tiger paw prints embedded in stone. 

Given Krabi’s coastal location, there are plenty of appealing fish dishes to sample during a trip to the province. Pla pao is a Thai-style grilled fish with a distinctive salty, smoky flavour while tom yum goong is a flavoursome hot and sour prawn soup. Pad Thai, one of the nation’s favourite dishes, is often served with melt-in-the-mouth tiger prawns too.

  • Take a dip in the Emerald Pool
    Deep in the lush tropical rainforests of Thung Teao Forest Natural Park, an hour and a half from Krabi, the Emerald Pool is a pristine natural lagoon with an astonishing turquoise glow. Trek along a magical jungle path to find this stunning natural wonder and bathe in its mineral-rich waters.
  • Watch a fire show
    Spectacular fire dancing shows take place across much of Thailand, and Krabi offers some of the country’s best. When the sun is setting, head to Ao Nang Beach and look out for mesmerising spinning wheels of fire illuminating the inky sky. Watch daring performers stir up the crowd in exhilarating performances choregraphed to music.
