Travel Tips & Advice for Krabi

Krabi Activities

Take advantage of Krabi’s coastal location with a private long-tail boat charter or guided kayaking through mangroves and hidden lagoons.

For those who enjoy staying active while immersing themselves in nature, Krabi offers a range of serene yet rewarding pursuits. Glide across glassy waters on a stand-up paddleboard as you soak up the stunning coastal scenery, or venture through lush mangrove forests and hidden sea caves by kayak, guided by local experts who reveal the region’s rich biodiversity and untouched beauty. These gentle adventures are the perfect way to explore Krabi’s wild side – at your own pace, and in total tranquillity.

Alternatively, family-friendly excursions include beach days at Ao Nang and exploring nearby offshore islands, such as Hong Island.

Krabi Food & Drink

As well as luxury hotels in Krabi, Thailand, you’ll find the famous crispy pork roast dish, along with coconut ice cream (best enjoyed on a warm beach day). Head to the night markets to sample local street food and enjoy dim sum-style dining where you're served multiple small plates and only pay for what you eat. With Krabi's coastal setting, seafood features heavily on menus – try boo nim paht pong karee, a soft-shell crab yellow curry.

Krabi Attractions

Outside Krabi Town is Wat Tham Sua (Tiger Cave Temple), a hilltop Buddhist site offering panoramic views and serene surroundings. The Klong Thom hot springs are a popular natural attraction, offering a warm, mineral-rich soak amidst rainforest surroundings.
