Krabi Itinerary

DAY ONE: Ao Nang and the 4-island tour. Book this with a tour agent (to get snorkelling equipment and lunch) or do it independently (to get your own schedule).

DAY TWO: Visit the famous forest temple at Tiger Cave and climb the 1237 stairs to the mountain-top shrine - the views are breathtaking. Spend the rest of the day in Krabi Town shopping or trying the excellent local food.

DAY THREE: Day trip to the Phi Phi Islands. Known as ‘the jewels of the Andaman Sea’ or, more recently, as ‘the place where The Beach was filmed’, this group of six islands is exceptionally beautiful. Round off your stay with a seafood dinner.

DAY FOUR: Hot springs and Khao Pra-Bang Khram Nature Reserve. Venture inland and discover Krabi’s green heart. This pristine forest is zig-zagged with easy-to-follow walking trails. Along the way you’ll find a crystal-clear pool for swimming and the perfect natural jacuzzi at the hot springs.

DAY FIVE: Island hopping to the Hong Islands, located 25km north west of Ao Nang. Easily the most beautiful islands near the Krabi coast, boasting spectacular beaches and a hidden lagoon. Snorkel and swim to your heart’s content.

DAY SIX: Kayaking. This is a must-do activity, even for the lazy (guides who paddle for you can be hired at extra cost). Exploring vast and peaceful mangrove-lined canyons and caves in a silent boat gives you the opportunity to see birds, monkeys and lizards up close.

DAY SEVEN: Take time out to do some shopping. As well as trawling the hundreds of souvenir shops, spend an afternoon strolling around a local market. For a true flavor of Krabi, sample some of the food on offer - it’s clean and cheap, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
