Islands off Krabi

You go to Krabi to enjoy nature – the waters, the caves, the mountains. While the resort town of Ao Nang is your staging base and Krabi town has some fascinating food options, it’s unfanthomable that you’d stay in the town only.

You don’t even have to go very far to get a great view.

Let’s start with the beaches. Located at Ao Nang is the Ao Nang beach.

To the east of Ao Nang beach is Pai Plong Beach. You need to cross a limestone mount to get there.

Further out, accessible by a longtail boats from the Klong Heng Pier are the many islands off Krabi.

The first islands that you will see are Ko Kao Sam Nuai and Ko Liao.

In the distance are the Ko To Islands.

Your longtail boat would probably bring you to a few islands to snorkel (if you choose to snorkel that is). One of them is Ko Poda.

The other is Chicken Island.

Some other beautiful islands include Phi Phi Island, James Bond Island, Similan Islands (which you can get to from both Krabi and Phuket)

And yes, these islands are as beautiful as the pictures and videos.

The beautiful islands of Krabi were made popular by the 1974 version of James Bond (played by Roger Moore) – The Man with the Golden Gun.

This is the scene where the beaches were shown.

There’s a reason they went there.

You should too.
