Just 3 Days in Krabi

If you're only in Krabi for 3 days...

There's so much to do... whether it's just a few days or longer, here are a few suggestions to make the most of your visit.

If you only have 3 days we suggest you take to the water, both above and below the surface (after all it's warm - 28 degrees on average!), visit the islands, take in the sun, go snorkeling and get to know the fish!

For a total contrast, especially if you're not used to the sun, head for the cool interior. Visit the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua) on a mountaintop for a different perspective.

Here's a suggested itinerary.

Day 1

Island Hopping and snorkeling. Visit Koh Poda, Koh Gai and a couple of the smaller islands. While you could do everything yourself and hire equipment, boat, etc., it's less hassle to take a tour that includes snorkeling equipment, a boat and a guide.

Full day tours usually include lunch and snacks as well.

Day 2

For a contrast (and to avoid getting totally sunburnt) visit the Tiger Cave (Wat Tham Sua) for breathtaking views of the province. Climb the 1237 stairs to the mountaintop shrine.

If you have any energy left, go shopping in Krabi Town. If not, just relax on the beach. Catch the sunset at Noppharat Beach and try some local food.

Day 3

If you haven't already, visit the Phi Phi Islands, they're a must see.

If you prefer to stay local, take a longtail boat to Railey and relax on the beach. Walk around the cliffs and watch the rock climbers (or try yourself - introductory courses are available)

Stroll around to Phra Nang and see the Princess Cave, a local shrine with strange phallic symbols and images.

Spend the evening at one of Krabi's great seafood restaurants in Ao Nang or Krabi Town and enjoy a wonderful seafood dinner.

Krabi Delights - For any visit

Just a few of the things you must do in Krabi....

Just take in the stunning sunset over the islands off Ao Nang, Noppharat Thara or Railay Beach and relax with a cool sundowner

Stroll around a local market and sample some of the superb snacks on offer.

Spend a little time shopping in the local stores and markets. Among the usual souvenirs are some great value for money bargains.

And above all.....enjoy.....
