Krabi Beaches Guide
Ao Nang, Railay Beach, Noppharat Beach
Towering limestone cliffs, soft white sand beaches, small coves and offshore islands.
Krabi's beautiful coastline stretches into the distance.
Ao Nang Beach (Ao Phra Nang)
Dominated by impressive cliffs overlooking a huge stretch of white sand. Krabi's most popular beach is also a jumping off spot for local boats to Railay, the nearby islands and neighbouring beaches. A large selection of hotels and bungalows can be found all along the main street and beyond. (More)
Railay Beach (Railey Beach)
The very essence of a tropical paradise;cut off from the rest of the mainland with no roads and no hassle. Railey's beaches offer lazy days, adventure forays and chilled-out evenings. (More)
Nopparat Beach
Quiet and shady. Lined with swaying casuarina trees, Nopparat is a popular weekend getaway with locals and visitors. Great food vendors selling fried chicken, spicy salad and chilled coconut provide an instant picnic. (More)
Klong Muang Beach
Krabi's latest beach destination, Muang Klong is the preferred location of Krabi's five star and boutique hotels like the Sheraton Krabi Resort, and the Tubkaak Resort.

Tubkaak Beach
A little further north than Klong Muang, here you'll find total peace and quiet surrounded by jungle backdrops with Koh Hong islands in front of the beach.
Not much to do locally outside your hotel however there are plenty of islands to explore and other tours available. (More)
Krabi Town
Krabi town, the provincial capital, is a charming little town which seems to be retaining its identity in the face of developing tourism. The river is still the hub with fishing boats and river taxis ferrying locals and visitors along the coast and to the islands... (More)
Nearby Islands
Krabi's Marine National Park has masses of islands, some as close as 15 minutes from the beach resorts of Ao Nang and Railey. Hire a local boat or take a snorkeling tour to Koh Poda and the odd-shaped Chicken Island. (More)
Phi Phi Islands
No trip to Southern Thailand is complete without visiting the Phi Phi Islands which are surrounded by crystal clear seas and coral reefs. Formerly a backpackers hangout, stunningly beautiful Phi Phi Don is often seen on postcards. One of Thailand's premier tourist areas with many luxury hotels, restaurants and dive shops. (More)
Koh Lanta
South of Krabi Town lies Koh Lanta which has around 25km (15 miles) of sandy beaches along it's west coast. A quiet and laid back island which is popular with backpackers, in recent years new luxury resorts have been opening on a regular basis. These days Koh Lanta is getting a lot of press coverage which will increase it's continuing popularity. (More)
Trang
Trang is the next province south of Krabi. It's a quiet unassuming paradise of stunning beaches and unexplored islands, Trang is one of Thailand's undiscovered secrets. With a stunning coastline similar to Krabi and an interior filled with caves, waterfalls, hot springs and lagoons - it's a perfect place for adventure seekers and nature lovers. (More)
