The Railay beach is accessible only via a boat and it is definitely the place to go if you want to check out Krabi's most popular sport, rock climbing. Visiting Railay Beach for its beautiful natural sceneries and outdoor recreational activities is among the best things to try out here in Krabi, despite the fact that the region is becoming more famous and as a result more crowded.

Ao Nang is the loveliest tourist town in the area (much nicer than Krabi Town), and it serves as the perfect base camp from where you can discover what this region has to offer you! Staying here in Ao Nang and then taking short trips to famous beaches and islands is a common traveller choice, thanks to the abundance of good restaurants and guesthouses, not to mention long-tailed boats as well as ferries.

Things to do here also include checking out some excellent spas, making a stop here one of the most enjoyable ones in Krabi! Besides, you can check out properties like Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort for a good stay in Ao Nang.
