Thailand
Krabi is a small paradise formed by forests, white sand beaches and turquoise waters, but also scenic landscapes thanks to the limestone cliffs.
Krabi is not only to visit for its beaches, but also for its temples, its night markets and its treasures of excursions. Find in this article 5 essential things to do in Krabi.
1. Spend the day at Railay Beach
Railay Beach is a little paradise. Just go to Ao Nang and buy a round trip ticket to get to Railay by boat.

The counters are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The price is 100 bath for one way. The only downside is that you have to wait until the boat is full to leave.
I recommend leaving early enough in the morning, especially if you have to wait, to be able to fully enjoy the day on site.
LITTLE NOTE : Pay close attention to Railay's last departure for Ao Nang and make sure you know where exactly the boat will leave in the evening. We were playing with the drone, when we realized that the last boat was gone, we had our return ticket but nobody wanted it. We had to negotiate at length with another boat, and since there were only two of us and no one wanted to go to Krabi, we paid quite a lot.
