Krabi Beach ThailandAo Nang Beach
Ao Nang is a series of bays where limestone cliffs and caves drop right into the sea. The water is quite clear and there are some coral reefs in the shallows. The longest beach runs along Ao Nang, a spot easily reached by road from Krabi. As a result this is the most developed beach in the area, and thus not as attractive as those at Hat Rai Lay, for example. But Ao Nang boasts the widest range of accommodation and restaurant options, and is not a bad base from which to explore the nearby beaches and islands.

Over the headlands to the south are the beaches of Phi Phlong, Ton Sai and Rai Lay, and then the cape of Laem Phra Nang, which encompasses Hat Tham Phra Nang (Princess Cave beach) on the western side, a beach facing east usually called East Rai Lay and another beach called Hat Nam Mao.

All these beaches are accessible either by hiking over the headland cliffs or by taking a boat from Ao Nang or Krabi.

Railay and Phra Nang Beach
Considered one of the most beautiful beach in the world, Rai Lay beach is just a short boat ride from the Aonang Beach. At the end of the beach, explore the dramatic limestone formations of the Phra Nang caves, all over the world and is one of Krabi's most unique areas.

Poda Beach
Lying just off the coast of Ao Nang, Poda Island's fine white sands and warm waters make it the perfect place to spend the day. Snorkeling, Scuba diving or sun bathing on this beautiful gem of the Andaman are perfect activities for fun and relaxation.

Phi Phi Island
One of the world's most beautiful tourist destinations, is part of Krabi province, 2 hrs by conventional boat from Ao Nang beach. It is composed of two rocky, tree-covered islets. One is Phi Phi Don where several long white powdery beaches attract visitors here to sunbathe and swim, and the other is the rocky Phi Phi lay where thousands of swifts nest inside the Viking Cave. With its emerald crystal sea, secluded beaches, wooded cliffed mountains, colorful coral reefs and undersea life, Phi Phi is a paradise in the Andaman. 

Koh Lanta
Covering about 134 square kilometers or 3,750 rai, this southern most group of 52 islands in Krabi can be divided into 4 groups-those of Rok Island, Ngai Island, Tukonlima Island or Ha Island and Lanta Island. The watershed in Lanta Range at the island center feeds water to these mostly limestone islands.

Many types of forests can be found in these islands. Rain forest disperse in the southern part of Lanta Yai, on Lata Range and on Ngai Island. Prairie spreads on Ha Island's mountains, the major varieties of grasses being Imperata grass and Lygoclium.

Hat Nopparat Thara Beach
A nice long beach, ideal to take a walk until to the Nopparat Thara National Park. Along the beach, there is lots of new building going on and also a Thai Boxing Stadium for 2,000 spectators has opened it's doors in early January 2000.

Kao Kanab Nam
This is a symbol of Krabi. You can see it from the heart of the city. Inside the mountain, there are some beautiful caves. You can reach this place by renting a motor boat from the pier in town. It takes about 15 minutes from town to get there.

Shell Cemetery
The shell graveyard at Ban Laem Poh was once a large freshwater swamp, home to a kind of snail. Over eons dating from the Tertiary Age, about 40 million years ago, these snails lived and died by the million, to the extent that the dead snails formed a layer upon which existed the living.

Eventually, weather changes precipitated the swamp's disappearance, but by then the layer of fossilized snail shells was forty centimeters of lignite below which is the subsoil, Because of geographic upheaval, this Shelly limestone is now distributed in great broken sheets of impressive magnitude on the seashore at Cape Laem Poh.

Tiger Cave or Wat Thum Sua
"Tiger cave" temple is a must see during any exploration of Krabi. Dramatically set against the Ao Look Thanu Mountain Range, dense forest shelters dramatic caves and Krabi's largest temple. There's much to see and do here, including climbing the 300 step to see the Buddha's footprint and exploring the trails and caves that wind across the forest floor.

Tanboke Koranee National Park
A wonderful National Park, located at the foot of Khao Shong To in the Ao Luk District. Inside the park, there are lots of trees, some of them very old, as well as lots of small rivers, built from a large natural water reservoir in the rocks. There is also a nice possibility for swimming and there are also many opportunities for having some typical Thai food. Moreover, this delightful retreat boasts scenic waterfalls and running stream among ubiquitous flowering trees of Saraca indica and Wrigtia religiosa, which, when in full bloom in mid-January to end-February, charm the area with their sweet fragrance.

The surrounding sea cradles rich in coral reefs and wonderful varieties of fishes, notably Damsel fish, wrasse, Lineated butterfly fish, grouper, and grouper and sea bass.

Klong Tom Museum and Temple
This contains stone tools, bronze implements, metal coins, pottery shards, ceramic and stone decorative arts, and colored beads more than five-thousand years old dug from excavations in the area. The museum is on the grounds of Klong Tom Temple in Tambon Klong Tom Tai, 1 Kilometer distant from Klong Tom District offices.

Hot Springs
These are 12 Kilometers from the Klong Tom District offices in Tambon Klong Tom Neua. The area is forested and shady; the hot springs are hotter than others nearby.

The National Park of Panom Benja
This national park covers the area of 31,325 rais in Ao Luk District. Follow along the Sri Dung Road for about 1 kilometer, you will find the junction where you turn to go to Huay-To Waterfall. Ahead forward you will see many towering mountains covered with foggy clouds. The forest is green and fertile. There are broods, waterfalls, caves and many kinds of animals in the forest.
