Krabi is situated on the west coast of southern Thailand. It is a fast evolving resort area now with its own airport. The most popular beach is Ao Nang which is also where most of the action is. It has a good range of accommodation, restaurants, bars and shops. Apart from the usual pastimes related to the beach, it offers great opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking and sailing. For scuba divers, there are many companies which provide trips to nearby diving sites.
Not far from Ao Nang is an alternative beach resort, Rai Leh with excellent white sand and spectacular cliff scenery. Travelling inland, one can find natural beauty in the form of waterfalls and caves.
