When seasoned travellers talk about the south of Thailand and the amazing Andaman, they are most probably talking about Krabi, with its trademark karst formations curving along the coast like a giant limestone fortress. The beautiful waters, soft powdery beaches and dramatic landscape offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the world that attracts couples from around the world looking for a romantic destination to tie the knot, celebrate their honeymoon or simply to spend quality time together.

5

Some of the most interesting destinations within Krabi are the Phi Phi group of islands, located about 40 kms from the mainland. They’re considered the superstar island of Thailand and have been featured in countless movies, postcards and fashion shoots. Visitors here love to go island hopping. Stop at Ao Ling (Monkey Bay) on Koh Phi Phi Don, then snorkel at the famous Hin Klang and relax or swim in Koh Mai Pai (Bamboo Island) before arriving at Koh Phi Phi Don for a great lunch. Spend the rest of day at Phi Phi Leh, visiting Maya Bay – location for the Hollywood film ‘The Beach’.

9

Long and narrow, and covered in bleached-blonde tresses, Ko Lanta is Krabi’s sexy beach babe. The northern beaches are busy but fun, and things get more and more mellow the further south you go. Ko Lanta is relatively flat and quick drive around reveals a colourful crucible of cultures – fried-chicken stalls sit below slender minarets, creaking fishing villages dangle off the island’s side, and a small temple hidden within green-brown tangles of curling mangroves. All types of accommodation abound from budget rooms to luxurious villas.

10

Beautiful Beaches

Krabi is full of numerous world class beaches. Couples looking for a bit of local color and wanting easy access will find the beaches of Aonang with a solid wall of rock flanking one side and picturesque Nopparath Thara very appealing.

14

Those wanting more peace and quiet and searching for that elusive deserted island getaway feel should opt for the more secluded Railay Beach, which is only accessible by long tail boats and famous for its sheer limestone cliffs, and the exclusively high end Tub kaek and Klong Muang beaches.

The other beach with no servicing roads is the Phra Nang Beach with its pristine powdery sands and accessible only by boat, fantastic for romantic couples.

As part of your romantic holiday be sure not to miss some of Krabi’s sights like the Sra Morrakot (Emerald Pool), a huge naturally green pool of warm mineral water fed from an underground fissure and the popular Tham Sua (Tiger Cave), a temple perched high up on a mountain Visit the Khao Khanab Nam Mountains, widely regarded as the symbol of Krabi. These are 2 limestone formations jutting hundreds of feet high like the gates to Krabi town and while in the area it’s also worth stopping by the Koh Klang fishing village as part of the trip, where you’ll discover a museum and a local craft centre, local weaving demonstrations, the making of local tools and utensils plus fish breeding.

Another interesting natural wonder is the Tha Pom Klong Song Nam. Known as “two water canals” the canal water is alternatively fresh or brackish depending upon the state of the tides. This has resulted in the development of three different forest systems and marine life able to live in both fresh or sea water all in a very concentrated area.

20

Nature lovers will want to spend a day or two at the several natural hot springs in Krabi. There is one near the Emerald Pool in Khlong Thom district which features naturally formed ‘bathtubs’. Popular among hot spring aficionados is the Nathawaree Hot Springs which has a resort built around it. Here couples can spend the night soaking to their heart’s content as suites have their own private spring fed pool.

Apart from the well known attractions and activities within Krabi there are other things you can do such as race an all terrain vehicle around a track and take an exhilarating zip line adventure among the treetops.

22

Krabi has something for everyone, whether you are an active person or a lazy beach bum. Its stunning scenery provides adventure in the form of rock climbing, white water rafting and kayaking. Or race around a dirt track in an all terrain vehicle (ATV) and take an exhilarating zip line adventure high in the jungles canopy.

Underwater enthusiasts will love the diving and snorkelling in Krabi’s warm coastal waters, while nature lovers can visit elephant camps and explore the diverse flora and fauna in the national parks. There are also plenty of outdoor sports couples can do together including fishing, golf and mountain biking. Krabi is truly a destination for lovers.

25

Food in Krabi is plentiful and available 24 hours.

Seafood is probably Krabi’s biggest attraction, food-wise: the province’s coastal location means supply is fresh and inexpensive. Krabi Town boasts the region’s best Thai restaurants, as well as countless small, cheap local eateries, food stands and the famous night market. To recommend any would be difficult as most offer great food but standing out from the crowd are the Ruen Mai Restaurant, Maying and Fresh Café. In the tourist centre of Ao Nang, many expats have set up shop and there is a pretty good variety of restaurants on offer: Italian, Japanese, Swedish, Tex-Mex, steakhouses, Swiss, German, Indian and even Russian.

Those looking for a meal with a view should try out the many hilltop restaurants notably Lae Lay Grill and Hilltop Restaurant. These offer magnificent views of the beaches and the some of the most romantic sun set this side of the equator. Restaurants on the many beautiful beaches like Same Same But Different, Noon Sunset and on Koh Lanta pair up good food with an amazing tropical atmosphere.

29

Thailand is a shopper’s paradise and Krabi is no exception. While lounging on Krabi’s beaches, you don’t have to go to the shops because the shops come to you. Friendly vendors ply the sands selling everything from sarongs to suntan lotion, from bookends to t-shirts, from sweets to sunglasses.

However, if you’re serious about shopping there are bargains to be had in the riverfront shops of Krabi Town , Ao Nang and if you are good at haggling and bargaining down prices even the islands of Phi Phi and Lanta old town have their own interesting nooks and crannies.But the best buys in Krabi would have to be local handicraft, handmade from locally produced materials and products. One such shop is the Silverado Krabi where you can tailor make your own silver jewelry and make a truly unique and personal gift.

33

Going for a spa treatment in Krabi is more about self-indulgence, rather than self-improvement (no fasting, colonic irrigation or exercise regimes in these cloistered retreats). Most exceptional spas are found within a hotel or resort such as the Waree Raksa though all are open to outside guests. Settings vary from cool, air conditioned indoor sanctuaries, to warm scented tropical gardens, and all provide a welcome escape from the 21st century affliction of stress and information overload.

37

The many islands of Krabi are best enjoyed by sailing from beach to beach and island to island. Couples who dream of sailing into the setting sun together will find numerous operators who can charter out different sized boats for different lengths of time. If you have your own yacht Krabi has the facilities for you too. The Krabi River Marina is just on the outskirts of Krabi town and suitable for smaller vessels.
