Before you go

Krabi at a glance

Krabi is known for limestone cliffs rising from the sea, islands and mangroves along the Andaman coast. Most visitors stay at Ao Nang, about 15 km from Krabi Town. They take boats to Railay, the nearby islands and Ko Phi Phi.

Known for

  • Railay ไร่เลย์

    A peninsula cut off by limestone cliffs, reached only by boat, and known worldwide for rock climbing.

  • Phra Nang Beach หาดพระนาง

    Beach at the tip of the Railay peninsula, reached on a trail from East Railay under overhanging cliffs.

  • Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) วัดถ้ำเสือ

  • Krabi Walking Street ถนนคนเดินกระบี่

Getting there

From Krabi International Airport (KBV), an airport bus runs through the day via Krabi Town to Ao Nang and Nopparat Thara. It takes about an hour to Ao Nang. A private car takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Many hotels arrange pickups.

Getting around

White songthaews run between Krabi Town and Ao Nang about every 15 to 20 minutes, and longer hours in high season. Long-tail boats from Ao Nang go to Railay and nearby beaches.

When to go

November to April is the dry, peak season. The green season runs from May to October, with the heaviest rain around September.

Local tip

To reach Krabi bus station by songthaew from the Ao Nang beach road, flag one down on the beach side, not the inland side.
