Natural scenery, beautiful beach, friendly peoples, delicous foods!!
Con

A bit "touristy", especially in Ao Nang. There's actually more than 10 pizzarias and even a McDoland's there! Things are quite a bit more expensive here than in Bangkok too.
In a nutshell

Krabi is my favorite place in Thailand because there are more things to do in Krabi, and Krabi is close to other places that also have a lot to do (Pha-ngan, Samui, Phangan, Patong, Khao Sok, Phi Phi)
Take a long tail boat to Railay
Wann Says: We took a long tail boat from Aonang to Railay. The scenery along the boat trip was breath taking. It costs 80 Baht per person, the boat will leave only when there're 8 passengers. Its better to buy only one way ticket from Aonang to Railay as there's another boat group base...

Phra Nang Kitchen: Good food and great view!
Wann Says: Phra Nang Kitchen situated in the area of Phra Nang Inn. The food there is very delicious. The restaurant provide a very good view of Ao Nang beach during the day. Very relaxing atmosphere, open-air and the service was very good.

Krabi Market Place: Don't loose your hearth
akkipaa Says: This is a must for all food lovers. The Yum of Thai food can be found from many sellers and you can have fantastic food at ingredible low prices. Taste them all, my favorite is Tom Kha Kai, spice chicken soup with coconut milk and galanga (one sort of ginger). I try to take...
eetm14 Says: make sure to haggle everything in terms of transportation from tuk tuk, taxi and especially the LONGTAIL BOATS! it's one of the worse things in krabi on low season.. we stayed at railay east and the only way to go to ao nang or anywhere else is through longtail boats.. the...
Sra Morakot - The Emerald Pool
Tina-Perth Says: Not far from the hot mineral springs - Klong Thom, you will find the stunningly beautiful Emerald Pool and its visit-worthy surrounds. The main point of attraction is the Emerald Pool, but its surrounding waterfalls, forest and pools are just as beautiful. You take the track...
M0B1US Says: "The best developed climbing area in Thailand is still Railae which is a Peninsula close to Krabi town in Southern Thailand. During high season Railae is climbers 'United Nations'." This quote sums Railae beach climbing on Pra Nang Peninsula up nicely.Many claim the climbing...
