Why you'll love it
Krabi is a province on Thailand's Andaman coast, known for limestone cliffs rising straight out of turquoise water. It scores 9 out of 10 for beaches and nature, and 8 for adventure, romance and value, so it suits travellers who want dramatic scenery and active days without a big budget.
The best time to visit Krabi is November to March, the dry season, when the sea is calm and island-hopping boats run every day. The wet season, from around May to October, brings rougher seas and quieter beaches.
Most visitors stay in Ao Nang, the main beach town, where the boats leave from. A 15-minute longtail ride reaches Railay, which has no road access and is a favourite for rock climbing. Popular day trips include the Four Islands tour and the Phi Phi Islands.
Krabi suits couples, active travellers and anyone wanting a scenic beach holiday that's easy on the budget.
