    Rock climbing has recently boosted in Krabi among those who love thrilling outdoor sport, and Krabi offers proper setting for this kind of sport due to its jagged cliffs, especially at Pranang Beach and Railay Beach. Rock climbing absolutely evokes your adrenaline rush and challenges your dauntlessness. However, although it seems to be scaring, but it is certainly safe since climbers are instructed on safety rules first.

    Canoeing and kayaking
    Canoeing is the best way to explore and to be close to the natural beauty of Krabi. The canoe trips in Hong (or rooms in Thai) are highlighted. Hong is lagoons hidden in the cave which can be entered at a low-tide of water. Passing through a tunnel of a cave, you will feel like escaping into the lost world inside, and the unbelievably picturesque sight of white sandy beach fringed by the aquamarine water appears before you. Ao Nang Bay is one of the good points for canoeing and kayaking.

    Entertainments
    Nightlife in Krabi cannot compete with its neighbor, Phuket. There are no pubs, ago-go bars or raging discos, but rather a simply open-air pub&restaurants and cafes on the side walk, offering some beers, soft drinks and quite delicious food. As Krabi is an action and adventure province, nightlife is thus not its specialty.
