KRABI

Spend a day cruising through Phang Nga Bay, where hundreds of limestone karst peaks thrust up out of the sea in a variety of formations, towering over the turquoise water.


Situated on Thailand’s beautiful Andaman coast, Krabi is an ideal location for outdoor adventures: rock climbing on the surrounding limestone cliffs, snorkeling and diving in the Andaman Sea, hiking, and sea canoeing or kayaking around the outlying islands and in remote mangrove channels.


Hop on a long tail boat and pass by Kao Kanab Nam, the most famous mountains in Krabi. During World War II, it is believed that Japanese soldiers hid weapons inside the mountain.


Continue cruising through the Andaman Sea through magnificent mangrove forests and a fish farm. Arrive at Middle Island, or Koh Klang, and chat with the villagers here who live in this idyllic atmosphere; most work asmini-long tail boat builders or rice field farmers. On this island and at other stops on this afternoon excursion, you might see monkeys, lizards, kingfishers, red-arm crab and other native wildlife.


Take an eco-friendly canoe on a private tour into some of the caves and interior rooms of Krabi’s limestone formations called hongs in Thai. Coral formations, in shallow and deep water, offer great snorkeling, and of course, the quiet, unobtrusive approach of the sea canoe is ideal for spotting some of the seabirds and wildlife to be found here.

The best time to visit Thailand is from Nov to Feb when the weather is dry and the temperatures are not too hot. During the winter, the temperatures in the far North can drop down to freezing during the evenings. 

From Mar to Jun the heat returns with temperatures soaring to over 40ºC during the day with minimal rain and low humidity. 

The rainy season begins toward the end of Jun and continues until Oct, generally consisting of a short but sharp downpour in the afternoon. 

The Southern beaches are faced with two weather systems which bring the tropical rains at different times of the year, so it's possible to enjoy Thailand's beaches year-round. From Jan to Sep the East coast is sunny and dry, before moving to the West coast from Oct to Apr.
