Located
just south of the world-famous Phangnga Bay in southern Thailand,
and home of the incomparable Phi Phi Islands, is the province
of Krabi, which offers some of the most spectacular scenery
available anywhere in the world. In a region reputed for its
world-class beaches, the beaches of Krabi stand second to
none in terms of natural beauty, and offer the weary traveler
a surprisingly pristine and remarkably relaxing refuge from
the bustle of most resort areas. Although markedly less developed
than resorts areas like Phuket, and Pattaya, Krabi nonetheless
offers a comparably wide range of services, facilities, and
recreational activities.
In addition Krabi also has something to offer travelers that
the bigger resorts are becoming increasingly unable to provide:
some peace and quiet. So, whether you are looking for a bustling,
activity-filled holiday, or just a devastatingly beautiful
section of desolate beach to call your own, Krabi is the place
to go in the region.
