Excursions in the province of Krabi

Description and is it worth a visit

At any resort of the province of Krabi and in Krabi-town, you can easily purchase excursions to the most interesting sights. Sold in travel agencies on the street and hotels. The price of the same tours is almost the same everywhere, they can only differ if your hotel, from where you will be picked up, is located far from the main resorts. The difference in price at the place of purchase between such popular resorts as Krabi Town and Aonang – no. Excursions are also available from such an isolated resort as Railay (although it is located on the coast, you can only get there by boat). But if you don't find it there or the price seems too high, you can book an excursion on the "mainland" in Ao Nang, and get to the point of departure by regular boats on your own. When buying, please check whether the price includes an entrance fee to the islands or attractions, meals, equipment rental.

A huge number of excursions are offered. There are on the ground (hot springs, tiger temple, national barque, emerald lake, etc.), as well as by boat to the islands. The options for water excursions are very diverse, may include visiting one or more islands, snorkeling, diving, relaxing on the beach, etc. Tours with a visit to Maya Bay Beach on Phi Phi Leh Island, where the movie the beach was filmed, are particularly popular. But do not expect magic from his visit, as in the movie. In fact, this place is now so trampled by tourists that it is periodically closed to the public so that it can recover and purify itself.

Anyway, even if Maya Bay beach is closed or you decide not to go to such a crowded place with tourists, there is plenty to choose from. Here are the most popular excursions and their cost for a landmark in Baht (see the currency of Thailand and its exchange rate):
