Phuket island, in the Andaman Sea, Thailand's largest island Province, was first to develop a tourism industry. It is still a leader in luxury hospitality and a sophisticated international resort destination. This "treasure island" of Thailand earns its reputation with delicious seafood, top golf courses, beautiful coral reefs, sea kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, para-sailing, elephant rides, cultural shows, and spectacular views in the vicinity of Phuket. Similan Islands in the Andaman Sea and other nearby smaller islands are perfect destinations for daily excursions or overnight trips.

Highlights of Krabi:
Krabi has spectacular beaches and islands made up of craggy limestone cliffs and lush mangrove forests. Railey Beach is one of the most exclusive destinations that are surrounded by a sheer wall of craggy limestone cliffs. These cliffs cut off from the mainland, prohibiting vehicle access. Hence, the sandy beach is undisturbed. Railay Beach is also a popular destination for rock climbers for both experienced and beginners from around the world.

Railay Beach offers various standards of accommodations (tourist class, middle class and five star) in limited numbers, all shaded by the original coconut palms.

Ao Nang Beach, the main gateway of Krabi, offers many choices of accommodations such as luxury five to four star resorts with spa facilities, middle class and tourist class hotel resorts. Restaurants serving local Thai and Western cuisines are abundant at Ao Nang Beach. Moreover, this small beach town offers various tastes of souvenirs, ATM machines and spa facilities to pamper you.

Krabi has hundreds of craggy karsts islands ideal for boating, diving and snorkeling. There is considerable exploring to do in the nearby destinations, inside and outside the many limestone cliffs. The possibilities for rock climbing and caving are infinite.
