RAILAY BEACH
Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach feels like a hidden world—where towering limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and soft white sand create one of Thailand’s most breathtaking coastal escapes. Despite its remote feel, Railay is just minutes from Krabi and offers a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty, whether you're here to climb, kayak, or simply soak in the sunset.

THE HONG ISLANDS
A MUST visit for your Krabi itinerary. And honestly if this is the only island trip you do in Krabi - this is the one. Hong Island is much quieter than the Phi Phi Islands and equally as beautiful. The softest white sands, clear blue waters and tropical island vibes to rival any island we've ever been to. Take a longtail boat straight to Hong Island itself to spend the day there OR take a speedboat day trip to take in the different Hong Islands both available from Ao Nang. Either way stunning natural beauty awaits.

PHI PHI ISLANDS
The most well known island on every Krabi itinerary. Take a longtail boat straight to the Phi Phi Islands to spend the day there OR take a day trip to take in the different Islands around Phi Phi both available from Ao Nang. Most notably Maya Bay. Either way stunning natural beauty awaits. But also mass tourism, queues, people and hot stress.
