Things to do in Krabi

From beaches and islands to temples and jungle pools, these are the Krabi tourist attractions and places to visit in Krabi that most travellers put on their list, whether you're planning a 3-day itinerary or a longer stay.

  • Visit Railay Beach and Phra Nang Cave Beach: Railay Beach sits on a peninsula surrounded by limestone cliffs, and it can only be reached by long-tail boat. Next door, Phra Nang Cave Beach is known for its white sand, clear water and a cave shrine at the foot of the cliffs. Walk between the beaches at low tide, or take the short trail to the Railay viewpoint if you're comfortable with a steep, muddy climb.

  • Take an island-hopping tour: Island tours are among the most popular activities in Krabi. A Four Islands tour usually stops at Koh Poda, Chicken Island and Tup Island, where a sandbar joins two islands at low tide. A Krabi day trip to the Hong Islands takes you to a hidden lagoon, and boats also run to the Phi Phi Islands. Many tours in Krabi include snorkelling stops. If you're also visiting Phuket, the Phuket City Travel Guide covers the other side of Phang Nga Bay.

  • Climb to the Tiger Cave Temple: The Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), north of Krabi Town, is known for its long staircase of more than 1,200 steps to a hilltop shrine with views across the province. Start early to avoid the midday heat, take water, and dress modestly, with your shoulders and knees covered.

  • Swim at the Emerald Pool and hot springs: The Emerald Pool, inside a forest reserve in the east of the province, is a clear, spring-fed pool surrounded by jungle. It's often combined with a visit to the nearby hot springs, where warm water flows over the rocks.

  • Explore Krabi Town and its markets: Krabi Town sits on the Krabi River and has a relaxed, local feel. Markets in Krabi Town include a weekend walking street market with food stalls, crafts and live performances. Shopping in Krabi is mostly markets and small shops, with a few larger shopping centres in Krabi Town.

Outdoor activities in Krabi

Some of the most fun things to do in Krabi are outdoors. Railay is one of Thailand's best-known rock climbing destinations, with climbing schools offering courses for beginners, and kayaking through the mangroves and sea caves is another popular way to explore. Thailand has rules for snorkelling and diving, including not touching or moving marine life or coral and wearing a life vest when snorkelling, according to the Smartraveller Thailand page (October 2026).

Before you book, it's worth checking how your activities are treated by your travel insurance, as some may need the Adventure Pack. For example, with Fast Cover, snorkelling is automatically included under our Covered Sports and Leisure Activities, while outdoor rock climbing needs the optional Adventure Pack and is only included with a licensed commercial operator, using ropes and appropriate safety gear (no free solo climbing).* The Adventure Pack is available to travellers aged 74 and under at the date of policy issue.*

Always check both the Covered Sports and Leisure Activities and the Adventure Pack activities in the PDS for the conditions that apply. Our guide to water adventure activities on holidays explains more.

Taxis in Krabi usually don't use meters, so agree on the fare before you set off. Ride-share apps are available in Ao Nang and Krabi Town; check that the plate number and driver's name match the app before you get in.

Riding a motorcycle, moped or scooter in Krabi

Many visitors hire scooters to get between Ao Nang, Krabi Town and the beaches, but motorcyclists are most at risk on Thailand's roads. Under Thai law, riders and passengers must wear a helmet. Never leave your passport as a deposit for a scooter. If you plan to ride or be a passenger on a motorcycle, moped or scooter, you may wish to consider whether you'll need the Motorcycle Pack.

Coverage for riders and passengers with Fast Cover's Motorcycle Pack

Fast Cover's Motorcycle Pack is an optional extra available under our international policies that may provide cover to you for being the rider or passenger on a:

  • Motorcycle

  • Moped

  • Scooter*

The Motorcycle Pack is available to travellers aged 74 and under at the date of policy issue, and can be added to the Comprehensive, Standard Saver, Basics, Snow Sports Plus and Frequent Traveller Saver policies.* Cover under the Motorcycle Pack only applies if you:*

  • wear a crash helmet, whether you're the rider or the passenger

  • ride on sealed or unsealed public roads only (not off road)

  • hold a current Australian Drivers Licence (Provisional or higher) and a licence valid for Thailand if you're riding a motorcycle, moped or scooter of 125cc or less, or a current Australian Motorcycle Licence (Provisional or higher) for the same class and a licence valid for Thailand if it's over 125cc

  • are a passenger with a rider who holds a current licence (Provisional or higher) for the same class of motorcycle, moped or scooter that is valid in Thailand

  • aren't under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and are acting lawfully.

As each individual's circumstances are different, we will assess each claim on a case by case basis and in accordance with your specific circumstances, policy terms and Certificate of Insurance.

How to get around Krabi

Getting around Krabi is a mix of road and boat travel. For more on transport across the country, see the transport section of our Thailand travel guide.

Getting to and from Krabi International Airport

Krabi International Airport (KBV) is east of Krabi Town, and connecting flights link it with Australia via Bangkok and other Asian hubs, which is the main way to get to Krabi. The drive to Ao Nang takes around 40 minutes, depending on traffic. Official airport taxis, shuttle buses and pre-booked transfers are available.

Songthaews

Songthaews, open-sided trucks with bench seats, run between Krabi Town and Ao Nang during the day and are an inexpensive way to get around.

Long-tail boats and ferries

Long-tail boats run from Ao Nang beach to Railay, and ferries and speedboats connect Krabi with the Phi Phi Islands, Koh Lanta and Phuket. The Smartraveller Thailand page notes that ferry and speedboat travel can be dangerous and serious incidents involving tourists have occurred. Check that there are enough life jackets on board, and don't board a boat that looks overloaded or when the weather is poor.

Taxis and ride-sharing

Taxis in Krabi usually don't use meters, so agree on the fare before you set off. Ride-share apps are available in Ao Nang and Krabi Town; check that the plate number and driver's name match the app before you get in.

When to visit Krabi

The best time to go to Krabi for beaches and boat trips is the cool season, when seas are calmer and rain is less frequent. The weather in Krabi is warm all year, so the wet season can still suit travellers who don't mind showers and fewer boat trips.

Season

Months

What to expect

Cool season

November to February

Calmer seas, less rain and the busiest time to visit

Hot season

March to April

Hot, sunny days and generally calm seas

Wet season

May to October

Heavy showers, rougher seas and some boat trips cancelled; fewer crowds

Festivals and public holidays

Songkran, the Thai New Year in mid-April, is celebrated with water fights in Krabi Town and Ao Nang, and Loy Krathong, usually in November, sees floating offerings released onto the water. Public holidays can mean bigger crowds and higher prices, so check dates when planning your trip.

Health and safety tips for Krabi

A few simple precautions can help you stay safe and well in Krabi.

  • Beach, boat and water safety: Check the conditions before swimming, especially in the wet season, and stay out of the water when warning flags are flying. Use tour and boat operators with proper safety equipment, and if equipment isn't available, use another provider.

  • Rock climbing safety: If you're climbing at Railay, choose an established climbing school with qualified guides, check that ropes, harnesses and helmets are in good condition, and follow your guide's safety briefing.

  • Monkeys and animal bites: Monkeys live around the Tiger Cave Temple and Railay. Don't feed or touch them, and keep food and bags out of sight. If you're bitten or scratched by any animal, wash the wound and seek medical help straight away.

  • Sun, heat and mosquitoes: Krabi's sun is strong all year, so wear sunscreen, a hat and long, light clothing, drink plenty of bottled water and take breaks in the shade. Dengue fever and other mosquito-borne illnesses occur in Thailand and are more common in the wet season, so wear insect repellent and speak to your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations before your trip.

  • Food and water safety: Drink bottled or filtered water rather than tap water. Eating at busy stalls and restaurants where food is freshly cooked can help reduce the risk of traveller's diarrhoea.

Medication and local laws

Some medicines that are legal in Australia are restricted in Thailand, so check with the Royal Thai Embassy before you travel and read our guide to travelling with prescription medication. According to the Smartraveller Thailand page (October 2026), vapes and e-cigarettes are illegal in Thailand, even for personal use, and smoking is banned on beaches in tourist areas. Read our passport safety tips and our guide to common travel scams before you go.

There's no reciprocal healthcare agreement between Australia and Thailand, so visitors pay for all medical care. Hospitals and doctors often need to confirm your insurance before treating you, and for serious injuries or illnesses you may need to be moved to a larger hospital elsewhere.

Travel insurance and your health

Travel insurance for existing medical conditions

Fast Cover may be able to offer coverage for your existing medical conditions. If you have an existing medical condition and would like to include it as part of your cover, you'll need to complete a medical screening and declare all of your existing medical conditions within the last 3 years. This can be done online during your quote journey or over the phone by calling our Aussie based sales team. To find out more about our medical screening process, and how the policy will apply in relation to an existing medical condition, please read and consider the PDS.

Eligibility criteria, policy terms, conditions, exclusions and limits apply. Consider the PDS prior to deciding on which policy is right for you and your needs.
