For the kind of holiday that will linger in your memory long after you’ve returned to work, add Krabi to your list. Found along Southern Thailand’s west coast, Krabi is known for its striking limestone cliffs that protrude from the turquoise-hued Andaman Sea. Be greeted by stunning white sands before checking in to your beach resort. From there, you can choose your own adventure – lace up your walking shoes and head out to explore Wat Tham Sua, also known as the famous Tiger Cave Temple, don your stretchiest pants and head to Krabi Town’s Night Market to eat your way into a food coma, or set out by boat for a little island hopping. A day trip to Phi Phi island is always a good idea. After all of that, it’s time to roll out a towel and relax on Railay Beach or Ao Nang Beach soaking in the sunshine and vitamin ‘sea’. If you find yourself gazing wistfully at other people’s holiday photos longing for an adventure, it’s time to stop scrolling and start doing.
