Krabi's geographic beauty is phenomenal - uninhabited tropical islands with coconut beaches backed by dramatic vertical cliffs dropping into a calm, clear ocean, lush rainforests cascading over rocky mountains, soft coral sands, warm clear blue water and welcoming Thai people. Krabi's famous beaches with vertical limestone rock cliffs are locked in a small peninsula at Rai Le, sometimes called the most beautiful beach in the world, where you will also find many attractive caves surrounding the beach. The limestone formations and the stalactites inside the caves are one of the spectacular attractions of Rai Le Beach. Most Krabi hotels are found behind the main beach, Ao Nang, which is the point for island-hopping around Krabi’s coast. Krabi has some breath-taking sights and attractions, so you will have no problem finding things to see and do, no matter what your taste. You can go rock-climbing up the vertical face of one of the rugged karsts, visit the Wat Khlong Thom museum, relax at the Namtok Hin Phoeng waterfall or explore unique and quirky temples.
One such attraction is the Tiger Cave temple, one of the most intriguing archaeological adventures in the Krabi region. The temple area provides a network of natural caves surrounded by lush forest and tall trees, where tigers used to roam. You can even see the tigers’ pawprints scattered in the areas around the caves.Other than it’s excellent beaches and attractions, Krabi also has some great outdoor activities. You can go kayaking, rock climbing, and canoeing in some of the most breathtaking environments. Canoeing is best at Koh Ko Du, Koh Phak Bia, and Koh Karat. If you prefer kayaking, then the Ban Tha Len area is where you will get your thrills.
One island you simply have to include on your island-hopping agenda before you leave Krabi is the famous Phi Phi Islands which is a nearby archipelago where you will find magnificent coral reefs, anemones, and vibrant marine life, and you can also enjoy some wonderful snorkelling here in azure blue waters.
