Thailand8.0863° N · 98.9063° E5 stories

Krabi province is where Thailand's Andaman coast turns theatrical: sheer limestone karsts rising from jade water, beaches reachable only by longtail boat, and an archipelago — Poda, Hong, Phi Phi — scattered offshore like an afterthought of paradise. It offers everything from backpacker bungalows to one of Asia's most storied resorts, all within sight of the cliffs.
