Krabi's beaches are
some of the best to be found anywhere and lie within easy access
from the main town of Krabi. Each has its own attractions to offer
the tourist -- be it simple relaxation in the sun and sea,
seclusion, or the opportunity to indulge in water sports and other
activities in the ultimate tropical paradise locale. Krabi's main
beaches are as follows:
|
Ao Nang or Ao Phra
Nang, features Krabi's most developed beach. Fringed by palms, the
long beach is backed by a wide range of accommodation including
resorts, bungalows and guesthouses. Most travel services can be
found here, and there is a good variety of restaurants featuring
both local and international cuisine. Due to it's locale and range
of services and accommodation, Ao Nang serves as the ideal place
to both stay put and relax, or from which to explore surrounding
islands and beaches.
|
The west side of the
headland features a beautiful curved beach backed by limestone
cliffs and jungle which provide contrast with the flat blue waters
of the Andaman sea. The very picture of tropical paradise, it is a
favourite place for climbers and water sport enthusiasts.
Accommodation choice is surprisingly varied for such a small area
- everything to luxury resort style to the most basic bungalows,
and a few restaurants and bars provide the basic necessities. High
season is busy, but it's also worth making a trip in low season
when most activities can still be enjoyed, and monsoon weather
changes provide spectacular views over the ocean. The east side of
Rai Leh Beach is home mostly to mangroves, some accommodation and
restaurants. It is also the most convenient spot from which to
hail boat transport (unless you want to hike back over the
headland).
|
Within 10 minutes
walk of Rai Leh east, this beach lies on the outer most point of
the headland and backed by a limestone cliff housing the Outer
Princess Cave or Tham Phra Nang Nok. Swimming and snorkeling
can be enjoyed off this pristine, white sandy beach, and from here
it is possible to hike to the top of the headland to get
spectacular views of the entire area.
|
Located within 18 km
west of Krabi town, this quiet beach lies within the Hat
Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park and features a long
sandy stretch lined by casurina trees. Popular with local Thai
picnickers and those who like to swim and sun worship, it is also
possible at low tide to walk from the beach across to some of the
islands dotted in the bay. Great for a day visit.
|
In the coastal waters
off Krabi, lie more than 200 islands, some of them inhabited, and
many that belong to Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park.
These islands offer a host of recreational opportunities including
reef diving and world-class rock climbing, and harbor some of the
most exotic, private beaches.
|
Comprising of two
main islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Ley, these islands are a
part of the Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park.
Phi Phi Don Island One of southern Thailand's most
popular tourist destinations, features sheer limestone cliffs and
sandy beaches. Anvil in shape, the island covers a total area of
28sq km in length and 3.5km at its broadest point. The neck or
handle of the island is where the majority of the tourist
accommodation and services are located, and is the central point
for boats to dock. An uninhabited section of the island lies to
the west, and Cape Laem Tohng, on the northern tip, is home to the
Chao Ley, or Sea Gypsys. Diving at Laem Tohng is excellent, as it
is also at Hua Rah Ket to the extreme south.
Phi Phi Ley Island Eentirely comprised of steep
cliffs, with caves and a sea lake. It features several beautiful
bays ideal for snorkeling, and on the northeast side, the famous
Viking Cave, which contains pre-historic paintings. The
island is also a popular site for nesting swifts, and local people
come there daily to collect the nests used to make Bird's Nest
Soup, a Chinese delicacy.
To the north of Phi Phi Don lies Koh Yoong Island featuring
2 small beaches and well preseved coral gardens off shore.
Adjacent to Koh Yoong lies Koh Pai Island with small
swimming beaches on the north and east side, and coral gardens off
the south end.
About 53 islands
are included in this group, which form the southern most
district of Krabi Province.
Koh Lanta
Yai
The largest of the islands,it was known long ago by its name
in the Malay language, Pulao Satak, which means Long Beach
Island. The island is a favourite spot for those who seek
peace and solitude, and is the home of the District and
National Park offices. Mountainous and rugged in some spots,
especially near the southern tip; with a combination of
gravelly and fine white sandy beaches, the island is also home
to a clan of Chao Ley, or Sea Gypsies who preserve many of
their ancient customs and ceremonies. Some accomodation and
services are available, and the island is easily accessed by
ferry from Ban Hua Hin Pier in Tambon Koh Khlang; Bor Muang
Pier in Tambon Sai Kao; or Jao Fah Pier in Krabi Town.
Koh Taleng
Beng
Lies in the Lanta district and similar in shape to Phi Phi Ley.
Swallows also nest at this island which at low tide features a
small beach and tunnel.
Mu Koh Hah
Still in the Lanta area, this is a group of 5 islands
featuring coral gardens and good diving spots.
Koh Ngai,
Koh Rock Nai and Koh Rock Nok
South of Lanta Island, these 3 islands are close to Trang
Province. Koh Ngai is easily accessed via ferry
from Pak Meng Beach, others are accessed by hired boat and
feature both beaches and coral gardens.
