Andaman Sea – November 14-17

Krabi, on southern Thailand’s west coast, is a province characterized by craggy, sheer limestone cliffs, dense mangrove forests, and more than a hundred offshore islands. Some of its most popular beach destinations include the Phi Phi Islands, which jut from the sea like giant rainforested boulders, and Railay Beach, accessible only by boat and a prominent rock-climbing spot. We stayed in Krabi Town, enjoying our first (and what turned out to be one of the best) street food experiences and took day adventures via longtail boats on the Andaman Sea to swim, snorkel, sea kayak and explore the islands which were beautiful, exotic but crawling with tourists.
