Make Travel Sparkle with a Krabi 4 Island Tour from Phuket or Khao Lak
With its secluded coves and limestone monoliths protruding hundreds of metres from green-tinted water, Krabi is an area of astonishing beauty.
The proud flagship of this karst region is Koh Hong, an island with a 360-degree viewpoint and a beach that is shaped like the wingspan of a bird. But that’s only one of the highlights to look forward to.
Whether you like to lounge on a white-sand beach or would rather snap pictures of Chicken Island that looks extremely similar to a hen, a Krabi 4 Island tour from Phuket or Khao Lak will make your Thailand travels sparkle.
More Than the Tantalising Maya Bay – Phi Phi Islands Tour from Phuket or Khao Lak
The strains of Moby’s “Porcelain” chirping in the background, views of an aquamarine sea and a remote island hideaway only for the brave – welcome to the dream of Phi Phi Island. Made famous by Leonardo DiCaprio starring in “The Beach,” the intriguingly sinister movie launched thousands of imaginary ideas of Thailand.
Why You’ll Want to Add the Similan Islands to Your Phuket Itinerary
If you hike to the Sail Rock viewpoint, you can shoot photographs of the coast and Donald Duck Bay’s white, powder-puff sand lapped by the turquoise sea.
While you don’t need to be a sure-footed traveller for the five-minute trek to this scenic lookout, perhaps it’s the underwater world you’re more interested in.
With its coral-covered slopes and myriads of marine creatures, the magical realm beneath the waves attracts divers and snorkellers alike. The Similan Islands boast over 200 species of hard corals alone, which is hardly surprising given the perfect conditions for coral growth. The temperature in the crystal waters off these paradise islands averages out at over 26oC.
There’s also huge variety of marine life including reef fish – more than virtually anywhere in the world. Likewise, the topography is nothing short of amazing. The sea is 30 to 45 metres deep around the islands. Between them, there are 70 to 80-metre drops. As well as rocks, caves and swim-throughs, you can find shallows ideal for snorkelling.
