Travellers’ Secrets

Rock climbing

Rock climbing is a major activity in Krabi with cliffs to suit every level of ability. Beginners should try the climb to Princess Lagoon – much of the trek is forest hiking, with permanent ropes in place to help you navigate the steeper parts. Once at the top, the views of the limestone islets and Railey Beach are sensational.

Andaman Sea Festival

Krabi hosts the Andaman Sea Festival in November each year to celebrate the start of the tourist season.

Wind down in the ‘west’

If you want to unwind with a cold drink

or two at the end of a hard day’s relaxing,

head to the Wild West-themed Old West Bar, located in the heart of Krabi Town; popular and lively, it has an impressive cocktail list.
