The island allows you to experience the charming of each area offers to you. Your choices are varied from dancing on the sand with hundreds at a beach party, to moor a boat at an uninhabited island where you can touch the real nature, to snorkel or dive in national park areas are the world class view of underwater world. During your precious holiday, there is also a wide choice of splendid restaurants and excellent shopping boutiques.
Krabi lies along the coast of the Andaman Sea in Southern Thailand. From towering limestone cliffs to exotic remote islands, Krabi features breathtaking scenery with over 154 islands made it become a idyllic destination for sailing in Thailand including Phi Phi Island, Railay Beaches, Koh Lanta, Koh Hong, Koh Haa and Koh Rok.
Phi Phi Islands
The Phi Phi Islands are easily the most famous of the islands off Phuket, and are the most popular sailing and boat charter destination. Koh Phi Phi Don is the only one with a resident population.
The waters around the islands are home to beautiful coral reefs, making them popular for snorkelling and diving. There are plenty of striking natural sites to see and beaches to relax on, too, if you would rather stay above the waves.
Popular sites: Maya Bay, Loh Dalum Beach, Ton Sai Bay, Loh Samah Bay, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach, Pileh Lagoon and Bamboo Island.
Phang Nga Bay
The stunning Phang Nga Bay is a landscape of limestone islets and outcrops jutting out of emerald waters, very similar to Vietnam's Ha Long Bay. A cruise around the 120 islands allows you to visit tidal caves, hidden lagoons, unique villages and breathtaking scenery.
It takes about three hours to see the majority of the most famous sights. This is best done from December to April, but can be done at any time as the enclosed bay creates perfect sea conditions throughout the year.
Popular sites: James Bond Island or Koh Tapu, Koh Panyi, Khao Ping Khan, Koh Hong and Koh Panak.
Racha Yai & Racha Noi Islands
The Racha Islands are idyllic tropical islands near Phuket, with some of Thailand's best coral reefs, secluded bays and white-sand beaches. The sand here is particularly fine, snow-white in colour and with the consistency of talcum powder. The sea is crystal-clear, making it an especially good snorkelling and diving spot.
Surrounding Islands of Phuket
Phuket is Thailand's largest island, but has many other beautiful smaller islands just off its coast, reachable within just 10 or 15 minutes by boat from one of the many pier's around Phuket's east coast. While several are uninhabited and have mostly rocky shorelines, there are a few which can be visited for a relaxing day trip.
Popular sites: Coral Island or Koh Hey, Koh Khai Nok, Koh Maiton, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai.
Krabi
An up-and-coming competitor to Phuket's title as Thailand's most beautiful coastal destination, Krabi has a more natural, local vibe to it, which its wealth of idyllic islands are a big part of. A cruise around the glittering, azure Andaman Sea in this region reveals stunning, isolated lands which are slowing gaining the same sort of fame Phuket and Phi Phi already enjoy, and create fantastic places to go snorkelling, diving, canoeing, swimming or just lazing in.
Popular sites: Railay, Ao Nang, Koh Hong, Koh Poda, Koh Tup and Koh Mor.
Similan Islands
The Similans are probably the most uniquely beautiful islands in the area of Phuket. A group of nine uninhabited islands about 50 km from the Phang Nga coastline, they are protected by national park status and are famous among the diving community, as well as being idyllic above the waves, too. They can seem a little busy and overcrowded if you visit with a standard tour service, but chartering a boat gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace and to your own schedule.
Popular sites: Koh Similan, Koh Ba Ngu, Koh Miang, Koh Hu Yong, Koh Bon and Koh Tachai.
Koh Lanta & Beyonds
The islands of the Koh Land Marine National Park are more distant and difficult to reach than any others in the region, which makes them more exclusive and unspoilt. They reward those willing to take a longer boat trip with unrivalled beauty and amazing scenery, as well as stunning snorkelling and diving sites and the remarkable cultural attraction of sea gypsy settlements, with their unique customs and festivals.
Popular sites: Koh Lanta Yai, Koh Rok, Koh Haa, Koh Ngai, Koh Mook and Koh Kradan.
