Weekend Guide · Thailand
Weekend in Krabi
Krabi province is southern Thailand's crown jewel — a spectacular landscape of towering limestone karsts, crystal-clear turquoise waters, mangrove forests, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Accessible only by longtail boat or on foot in places, Krabi feels genuinely unspoiled compared to Phuket.
Arrive & Explore Krabi
Railay Beach
One of Thailand's most beautiful beaches, cut off from the mainland by impassable cliffs and accessible only by boat

Krabi's main beach resort town, serving as the jumping-off point for boat trips to the Four Islands, Phi Phi, and Railay
Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)
A revered forest monastery perched atop a 600-step climb to a golden Buddha and breathtaking 360-degree views over Krabi and the Andaman Sea
Hidden Gems & Local Flavours
Four Islands Tour
A classic full-day longtail boat excursion visiting Koh Poda, Koh Gai (Chicken Island), Koh Tub, and Koh Mor — snorkelling through coral reefs, exploring sandbars, and picnicking on deserted beaches
Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot)
A stunning natural pool of turquoise thermal water set deep in a lowland forest in Khlong Thom district
Koh Lanta
A laid-back island south of Krabi with long, uncrowded beaches, excellent diving and snorkelling, and a relaxed atmosphere far removed from the busier resort islands
