Located in southern Thailand on the Andaman coast, Krabi Province is home to roughly 100 miles of pristine coastline and more than 150 islands and works best for those who are interested in a more off-the-beaten path destination than Phuket or Koh Samui but still want a top-tier resort. Krabi’s signature characteristic is its spectacular landscape, punctuated by dramatic limestone karsts rising hundreds of feet from the Andaman Sea.

Designing Your Journey
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
3 Days: Essential Krabi Province
Indagare can arrange world-class nature activities and steer beach lovers to the most secluded beaches. Here is just one example of what our destination specialists can create for you.
Day 1: Key Sites
This morning, visit the Tiger Cave Temple, one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the region. A strenuous 1,237-step climb to the mountaintop shrine is rewarded with panoramic views of Krabi. Afterwards, cool down at the Emerald Pool National Park, where the strikingly colored freshwater pool, Emerald Crystal Lagoon, is heavenly for swimming.
Day 2: Boat Tour
With an Indagare-vetted guide and your own private captain, embark on a boat tour of the immaculate beaches and waters of the Andaman Sea. In just 30 minutes, escape to the dream-like islands of Koh Phi Phi Le, Koh Phi Phi Don and Koh Mak, where dramatic limestone cliffs and soft, white-sand beaches are scattered throughout the warm, crystal clear waters.
Day 3: Active Excursion
Today, Indagare can arrange a private kayak tour through one of the most beautiful mangrove forests in Thailand, where your guide will lead you through the calm lagoons, marine caves and dense forests home to Macaque monkeys and herons. Thrill-seekers can also embark on a rock-climbing excursion at Rai Ley Beach or head to Khao Sok National Park for white-water rafting and jungle river tubing.
Where To Stay
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
