For many travellers, Krabi is the most beautiful of Thailand's province facing the Andaman Sea. Little more than an hour's flight from Bangkok. Krabi is the kind of place where tired cliches like idyllic and pristine take on fresh meaning, with the beaches displaying the characteristic qualities of the Andaman coast - soft, fine white sand, warm clear water and lush tropical greenery spilling on to the shore. Providing a dramatic backdrop to the most beautiful locations are rust-hued cliffs, some soaring to 1,000 feet.

The scenic charm of Krabi is as captivating for its variety as for its beauty and sun-seekers have the choice of three quite distinct beach areas. To the northwest, Hat Noppharat Thara, belonging to the national marine park of the same name, is a serene and tranquil beach backed by casuarinas, where there is little development to disturb a blissful sense of escape. By contrast, Ao Nang affords a more classic beach venue, with a long sandy stretch backed by hotels, restaurants, shops and other facilities.

Last but by no means least is Laem Phra Nang, a magnificent headland that is accessible only by boat and is fringed on three sides by the beaches of Hat Nam Mao, Hat Rai Le and, arguably the best, Hat Phra Nang. Caves, rock climbling and a trek up the cliffs to a hidden pool and a breathtaking viewpoint are among the highlights of this remarkable setting.
