Overview

Take a trip to Krabi on your Thailand Vacation

Krabi is a small town located on the west coast of Southern Thailand. Situated upriver from the coast, the town of Krabi is the capital of Krabi Province and Krabi District. A common entry point to the Province of Krabi, the town is pleasant and features temples, a museum, several night markets, a weekend market, and other places for affordable shopping and dining on trips to Thailand.

The Province of Krabi covers an area of 4,708 sq km and is located 814 km south of Bangkok. Bordered by the Andaman Sea, Krabi features white sandy beaches, fascinating coral reefs, numerous large and small islands, and a national park featuring lush forests with caves, and waterfalls. Krabi’s limestone rock formations are its most distinguishing feature. Some of these limestone karsts feature white sandy beaches, making it most ideal for scuba diving and rock climbing on a Thai vacation.

Considered one of the oldest communities in Thailand, it is believed that Krabi dates back to the prehistoric period. Krabi, meaning ‘sword’ may have had its name derived from a legend that an ancient sword was unearthed prior to the city’s founding.

The Province of Krabi is home to some world-class beaches, including Ao Nang Beach, Krabi’s most developed, Had Yao, Krabi’s last untouched beach, and Rai Leh, Krabi’s rock climbing mecca – a peninsula featuring several beaches ideal on a Thailand vacation.

Featuring a variety of beach locales and a broad spectrum of landscapes, Krabi is sure to attract every kind of tourist, including snorkelers, divers, rock climbers, adventurous trekkers, golfers, and everyone in between who look for fun and relaxation.

Thailand is a friendly destination with fun & warm people, great food, and impressive cultural and beach experiences. Simply wandering neighbourhoods, visiting temples, shops & viewpoints, and eating at local restaurants are what I enjoy most when visiting Thailand. The south of Thailand is a special location with beautiful scenery and a seemingly laid back lifestyle, so visiting this area is always a special and memorable experience.

The experience of travelling from island to island on longtail boats in the south of Thailand is something that still resonates with me after many years.

For families, visiting a sustainable community in Koh Yao Yai can bring the trip to life with local interaction. For honeymooners, personalizing memorable experiences with special menus, in-room dining and more can really elevate the experience for Goway guests.

All the people that I met at the hotel, restaurants, and parks were always smiling at me. I can feel that they are grateful to all international tourists. A Thai smile inspires me most and makes me want to revisit.
