| Krabi Beaches Thailand Ao Pra Nang beach Accessible only by boat, Ao Phra Nang attracts hedonists, rock climbers, canoe enthusiasts, snorkellers and artists. Accommodation here ranges from the prestigious and upmarket Sheraton Rayavadee Resort to modest fan cooled bungalows. The sheer limestone mountain which surrounds the beach makes it a popular venue for both beginners and advanced rock climbers. There's a route for non-climbers in the interior of the cliff, which although not for the faint hearted, offers exhilarating views of the offshore islands. The Princess Cave or Tham Phra Nang Nok, decorated with symbols of fertility is another local attraction. The beach can be reached easily from Ao Nang by regular longtail boats which shuttle back and forth during the day. Best visited during low season (April - October) as it gets busy.

It attracts visitors seeking a quiet holiday among local fishermen and unspoiled beaches. Accommodation consists mostly of bungalows and tents. To get to the island takes about 40 minutes by boat from Krabi. MUH KOH LANTA MARINE NATIONAL PARK 1 hour and 30 minutes east by boat from Phi Phi Don, comprises many islands, several fringed with spectacular coral reefs. Koh Lanta itself, is increasingly favoured by those seeking peace and tranquility. Resort accommodation is available on the northwest coastline. The 26 km long island, (4 to 6 km wide) contains many unspoiled beaches with golden sands and rugged headlands. The park office on the southern extremity of the island, accessible only by boat, is situated near the homes of local Chao Lay, or sea gypsies, who make their livelihoods fishing the waters of the Andaman Sea. KHAO NOR CHUCHI LOWLAND RAINFOREST known in Thai as Taew Raew Thong Dam is really the last patch of virgin tropical rainforest left in Southern Thailand. The park is found in the Khlong Thom district just opposite Ko Lanta on the mainland. It is the the only place in the world where birds of the species 'Pittagurney', have been found Rai Lay Beach Rai Lay Beach is divided into two sections, East Rai Lay Beach and Western Rai Lay Beach. West Rai Lay offers more fascinating view with its towering limestone cliffs and densely unspoiled jungle which conceals wondrous stalactites and stalagmites in caves; its water is clean and clear. Although it has less to offer in terms of facilities, its quiet and peaceful surroundings can compensate for that. Across the peninsular form West Rai Lay beach locates East Rai Lay Beach. This beach is distinct from the other beaches in the area in that it could be classified as mud flat, especially at the low tide. Despite that, it does offer the remarkably distinguished views. On the end of the beach is covered with mangrove trees, backed up by the picturesque panorama of mountains and islands. Both West and East Rai Lay Beaches can be reached y boat from Krabi's Chao Fah Pier, taking about 45 minutes to reach the beach. Source : Tourism Authority of Thailand.
