Krabi

Had Nopparat Marine National Park

Krabi Province is 940km south of Bangkok and has long been a popular destination for budget travellers. The addition of an international airport and high end resorts now attract a much broader spectrum of visitors to the area, particularly families.

The area features some of Thailand's most stunning landscape. Sheer limestone cliffs are crowned with elevated jungles and coconut palms clad the hillsides above glorious beaches. The rugged cliff-faces are scarred with numerous caves and crevices, many of which are climbed by adventurous sports climbers.

Diving around Krabi

Directly off Ao Nang there are two islands, Koh Podah Nai and Koh Podah Nok, and a handful of limestone outcrops. The area's local diving concentrates around these, as well as the sites at Koh Phi Phi, Shark Point Marine Sanctuary and Hin Daeng and Mouang. Divers can enjoy an abundance of radiant soft corals and a tremendous diversity of marine life. There are gently sloping reefs, caves and exciting swim-throughs.

The shallow reefs also offer opportunities for some tremendous snorkelling. The local sites are accessed in around 20 minutes whilst those further afield take over an hour.
