Krabi
Limestone karsts, Railay's beaches and the gateway to the southern islands.
Krabi province packs in some of Thailand's most dramatic scenery. Railay's cliffs draw climbers from around the world, Ao Nang serves as the launchpad for four-island boat tours, and Koh Lanta offers slow island life. Kayak through the mangroves of Ao Thalane and catch sunset at Phra Nang beach. Visit between November and April for boat-friendly seas.
