Thailand

Krabi

Railay’s limestone walls, emerald lagoons, and long-tail-only beaches make Krabi a climber’s and kayaker’s Andaman favourite.

High season mirrors Phuket—dry northeast monsoon months. Tides affect beach access at Phra Nang Cave; morning light paints cliffs for photographers. Try massaman curry and roti in night markets. Choose ethical climbing guides with bolt maintenance records. Combine with Koh Lanta for slower island pacing or Trang’s emerald pools on longer loops.
