Blessed with tranquil beaches and breathtaking natural wonders, Krabi is a holiday hub for the masses. Here’s what travellers must know to enjoy a seamless vacation in this area of Thailand.
When to Go
Although Krabi is billed as a year-round holiday hotspot, the best time to vacation on the islands is from December to March. This is when sunny skies prevail over the paradise islands and when most outdoor activities and excursions are available and easily accessible. Avoid visiting Krabi in the rainy months from June to October.
Accommodation
Whether you select Avani Hotels & Resorts or the countless Ao Nang beach hotels in Krabi, it is necessary to consider which the best base locations are. Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta, for example, are two popular base options in Krabi province while Ao Nang Beach and Railay also offer excellent resort hubs.
Wining and Dining
Regarded as a foodie’s dream destination, some of the best things to sample during a holiday in Krabi include its soup-like curries and seafood delicacies. Khao mok gai, gaeng tai pla and ho chak teen and shellfish delicacies are also prepared to perfection in Krabi. Some of the top dining locations in Krabi include the many night markets that prop up on each and every island once the sun goes down. The Walking Street Market is perhaps the most popular among these.
Activities
No trip to Krabi would be complete without exploring the limestone mountains and the iconic Tiger Cave Temple. Don’t forget to enjoy a hiking tour of Thara Park while cycling around the rural and agricultural landscapes of Krabi is another must for first-timers.
