Krabi

Krabi’s coastline is one of the most dramatic in Thailand, its limestone cliffs rising straight out of turquoise water at beaches like Railay and Ao Nang. It is as much a base for exploring as a destination in its own right, with longtail boats running out to smaller islands and beaches accessible only by sea. Beyond the coast, Krabi town retains a slower, more local pace than its beaches suggest, worth an evening for the night market alone.
