Located along the Andaman coast of Thailand is the beautiful province of Krabi. Characterised by limestone karsts emerging from the turquoise waters and an expansive shoreline with untouched beaches, this tropical paradise enjoys warm temperatures throughout the year. The best time to visit is between November to April as the area experiences a heavy rainy season from May to October.

A perfect blend of Thai hospitality and a thriving international community, Krabi cherishes its laid-back vibe. With a life that primarily revolves around night markets, street food culture, and waterfront activities, it imparts a sense of authenticity, distinctly different from its busier neighbour, Phuket. Nevertheless, it doesn't stray too far from providing modern comforts that travellers seek.

What sets Krabi apart is its breathtaking natural landscape. Known globally for its top-tier rock climbing spot at Railay Beach and famed island retreats like the Phi Phi Islands, along with the unique exploration routes in Thung Teao Forest Natural Park, it is a marvel to nature enthusiasts. The region's speciality, yellow curry with crab meat (Gaeng Poo), reflects its abundant seafood heritage.

You can't leave Krabi without experiencing a kayak trip through the mangrove forests of Ao Thalane, a path adorned with narrow canyons and bursts of local wildlife. Another must-do is the climb to Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua) via 1,260 steps, which reward visitors with a panoramic view of the dazzling karst landscape.
