Krabi is a province in the southern part of Thailand—a perfect place for planning luxury holidays with loved ones. This mesmerizing place brims with beautiful sandy beaches, clear seas, high cliffs, and tropical forests, and therefore, tourists will always find something interesting to do upon reaching here.
In case you are planning to explore different parts of Thailand, you can consider embarking on Krabi or Pattaya luxury holidays, both being an excellent choice for an ideal tropical escape.
Let’s take you to the four best attractions to explore during your Krabi luxury holidays, as well as some valuable tips to make your stay here as unique as ever.
1. Railay Beach
Railay Beach stands out as one of Krabi’s most precious assets. This small piece of land can be accessed only via water. Overall, the gigantic limestone cliffs around it give it a more secluded and rather luxurious feel. In case you want to enjoy the soft, sandy beaches, why not head to the Railay West Beach which is famous for its unique sands and is perceived to be one of the best white sand spots in Thailand?
Reaching here, one can swim, sunbath, snorkel as well as enjoy the serene, magical views of the beautiful beach waters. For the daredevils, Railay Beach features specific climbing routes where they can test their climbing skills. These trails serve as a climber’s paradise, plus, by taking a more complex route, tourists can reach the viewpoint where they can adore the beauty of a hidden lagoon and professionals alike making it a climber’s paradise.
The bonus thing? You are also going to get a view of the peninsula and it is totally worth it. For tourists, it is recommended not to leave without visiting the enchanting beach of Phra Nang Cave and the shrine located in the cave.
For an upscale experience, it is always a great idea to book a private long-tail boat ride around the peninsula to catch perfect views of the secluded bays and beaches. And when it’s evening, you can plan a candlelit dinner with your loved ones at any of the preferred areas at the Railay West Beach. Watch the beautiful waves gliding over one another as you savour your favourite Thai cuisines.
2. Phi Phi Islands
The Phi Phi islands are a group of islands located in the Andaman Sea, 46 kilometres from Krabi, and are home to some of Thailand’s most famous tropical scenery. Seeing the Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh, which was filmed in the movie, “The Beach”, is highly recommended to the visitors, although their access to this beach is (kind of) limited in order to preserve the environment and wildlife, thus, one should always check the current restrictions.
The water around the islands is also crystal clear which makes snorkelling or diving even more special. One can also enjoy interacting with the lively dolphins, various species of reef fish, and beautiful corals. Also, they can go enjoy trekking up to the viewpoint to adore the stunning views of the two bays or simply soak in sun rays at the sandy Loh Dalum Bay or Long Beach.
Visit Viking Cave here to have a look at the ancient rock art paintings that reminisce the past. To make your entire Krabi luxury holidays even more comfortable, you can book a private yacht to explore the beauty of the surrounding islands during the day at your own convenience. For a more wholesome stay on the island, one can consider staying in a luxury resort on the Phi Phi Islands, and indulge in a private dinner affair at a secluded beach point at night.
3. Four Islands Tour
Now that you have got some ample time during your Krabi luxury holidays, why not book a day trip to the Four Islands? Get insights into some of Krabi’s most beautiful offshore islands: Koh Poda, Koh Gai (Chicken Island), Koh Tub, and Koh Mor.
At Koh Poda, spend some time sunbathing on the sandy beach and snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, while the famous rock island just off the beach serves as a photographer’s delight. Koh Gai, with its chick-like formation, has got the best snorkelling spots to offer on the island.
Koh Tub and Koh Mor are two islands that reside at a low tide joined by a sand bar and the walkway between the two islets serves as an excellent spot for capturing photos and having fun to the fullest. While on the tour, there are many fun things to try.
One can snorkel on the islands, and watch the beautiful marine life, and corals. To make this experience the best one, instead of taking a group speedboat tour, consider booking a private one, just a valuable tip to save your day. Once you are done with the tour, get ready to be served a special picnic lunch at a private beach and end your day on a high note via a sunset boat that further takes you back to the main island. If you want to learn more about Thailand so best time to visit Thailand.
4. Emerald Pool & Hot Springs
To get away from the beach adventures, the Emerald Pool and Krabi hot springs are a great way to spend a day. Emerald Pool lies ideally in the tropical forest and boasts blue-green waters, that it is famous for. Swim in the pool and stroll around to observe the lush nature around.
Near to it is the “Blue Pool,” which is a much larger, but less accessible pool that comes with even a deeper blue hue; however, swimming here is prohibited. The hot springs offer a unique kind of experience with water.
One can take a dip in the natural hot springs and the water here comes directly from the thermal springs located deep in the ground, offering great relaxation and healing properties. These springs also feature hollow rock formations with warm water that flows downwards, making them natural pools. It is famous that the mineral content of the water can cure muscular and skin problems and pain.
For a more personal and tailored experience, one can also hire a personal guide that will let them know the complete history of each of the spots they come across. For a convenient ride to the inland attractions, one can also book a private rented car.
