Krabi Province is considered to be one of the most beautiful regions in Thailand. Krabi has it all, from the limestone karsts that characterize the region to world-class beaches, islands, temples, markets nightlife and shopping, the list is seemingly endless. Gastronomes will find Krabi a sanctuary of fine dining and lovers of the great outdoors will find plenty to keep them occupied-waterfalls, hot springs, national parks, elephant treks are all on offer and Krabi is also one of the world 's premier destinations for rock climbing and scuba diving. The coral reefs of the Andaman sea are among the world’s best and the Railay Peninsula attracts climbers from all over the world.
Let's admit it:Krabi in green season is not that bad. For a start, tropical rainstorms happen but are rare and can be avoided under a roadside shack; most of the times the skies are blue, the sun shines every day, and forests and parks smell of earth and are alive with nature. And then it's cheap; in a time when we all watch the pennies, hotel rooms, restaurant meals, tours and Thai messages are a good deal in this time of the year. Activities are plenty, and this issue is all about trekking on the back of a pachiderm, but there is more to do: kayaking on mangrove canals, some decent diving, a cooking class or just lying on the uncrowded beaches. And finally, as there is not many tourists around, it's nearly all yours! It pays sometimes not to follow the crowds.
Hop on or hire a longtail boat, the local wooden boat with their picturesque prows. Sail away to Koh Poda, surrounded by turquoise waters, or to Koh Kai,shaped as a chicken and therefore called the Chicken island, from where a walk on a sandy pathway connects it to Koh Tub. Make a longtail boat or speedboat trip to the Koh Hong archipelago, a group of limestone islands with hidden caves and lagoons perfect for kayaking or snorkeling. Join an organized tour to amazing Koh Phi Phi islands, full of marvelous bays, limestone cliffs, waters rich in marine life, caves where swallow nests are harvested, and much more. Visit Koh Jum and Koh Siboya, small, unspoiled tropical hide-way that have a unique atmosphere. These islands give visitors the time to relax and re-charge their batteries. Or venture out on Koh Lanta, the developing island at the southern end of the province home to sea gypsies communities, where you will meet nature and tradition. A national Park area that comprises many different islands surrounded by coral reefs, such as Koh Ngai and remote Koh Rok.
Krabi town is small, charming, silent at times, nice for a day's walking tour. Krabi Town is full of old building, bars and restaurants, local exotic marketplaces and food stalls at the old Chao Fa pier where to sample the local food. The Krabi motto is: “lovely town, lovely people"; Krabi's simple people are definitely proud of their town and of their warm and generous character. Hop on a longtail boat at Chao Fa pier and visit Khao Kanab Nam, the unique pair of hills facing each other on the opposite banks of the Krabi river, symbols of the town; or embark on a journey to Koh Klang, an island next to town on the mouth of the river, where you will experience lives lived by the local fishing communities; or charter a boatman for a visit to the mangrove backwaters.
