Krabi Province, in Southern Thailand, lies some 800 km south of the Thai capital, Bangkok, and is a myriad of pristine beaches, azure waters, caves, waterfalls, and fascinating history all crammed into one tiny province.

Chinese New Year: is a time of firecrackers, lion dancers parading through the streets and time to ‘spring-clean’ the house, it is celebrated in February by all Chinese-Thais. Lanterns line the streets and the smell of incense wafts through the air. Dragon parades weave down roads and children gad about everywhere.

Krabi is a tropical paradise for those who have a passion for unspoilt nature, beautiful tropical scenery and warm and friendly people. There are many sight-seeing activities on the mainland and the neighbouring islands. A day wandering around Krabi Town is a great way to get an insight into Thai culture, with its bustling market, beautiful hills and mountains and awe-inspiring temples; this is also the place to come if you want to se Thailand at its best.
