Krabi
Limestone cliffs straight out of the sea, beaches you reach by longtail, and Railay — a peninsula with no road in. Krabi is the Andaman coast at its most photogenic, and slightly calmer than Phuket.
Railay and the four islands
Railay is reached only by boat and has three beaches: East for the boats, West for the sunset, Phra Nang for the cliffs. The four-island trip south of Ao Nang is the classic day out — go at 7am and you will have Chicken Island to yourself.
Inland Krabi
The Emerald Pool and Tiger Cave Temple are both an hour from the coast and worth a morning. Hot springs, mangrove kayaking and the Krabi riverfront fill the rest.
