Go island hopping from Krabi in southern Thailand where there are 154 small islands to be explored in the clear blue water of the Andaman Sea. While some are just limestone cliffs, others offer mangrove forests, isolated sandy beaches, waterfalls and caves, wildlife and excellent dive spots. Hire a luxury yacht, a Chinese junk, a long tail boat or a speed boat, whatever is suited to your mood at the time and head out during the day or at sunset. A picnic lunch is a must during the day as is bathing and snorkelling gear. It is even possible to linger longer to avoid the crowds that will intrude in your space.
Among the islands scattered off the coast of Krabi and ideal for a relaxing day out are the Phi Phi islands a set of six most of which are uninhabited except for Phi Phi Don. However, Phi Phi Leh is the one that’s famous having been featured in a Hollywood movie. While it is stunning the other islands in the group too have their own distinct identity and charm.
Koh Yung, Koh Mai Phai, Bida Nok and Bida Nai complete the group. Other notable islands are Koh Mook with its own set of four rocky islets and Koh Lanta with its 27 km coastline, and a national park great for viewing wildlife and snorkelling. One of Koh Mook’s tiny islets sports a cave and a lagoon in its centre with a semi circular beach surrounded by vertical cliffs. The only way to see this is to take a canoe or swim through a 70 meter tunnel. The main island of Hong Islands which are part of a marine national park offers very special snorkelling and diving experiences and is home to a hidden lagoon. Another of the islands is a place to collect edible swallow nests. Each of these off shore islands abounds with beautiful natural features and is ideal to be explored on foot, lying on pristine white isolated sandy beaches and snorkelling to see the corals and marine life below. Take a trip along Krabi’s enchanting coastline and discover why it is always described in superlatives.
