A four days trip to Krabi Island, Thailand !!
We visited Krabi in July 2023 (which can be considered as monsoon season ) on the island but we were lucky to witness rain only one day out of our 4 days of stay. Infact, we kind of even enjoyed the rain on the island :) The best time to visit Krabi weather-wise is from December to February. The weather is not-so-hot in the evenings, but can still be very warm in the afternoon, and it's mostly dry and sunny, which is very suitable for all kinds of activities.
We made our booking at Rayavadee Resort, located at Railey beach. Railay Beach is an outstanding beach with beautiful water and limestone cliffs. The beach is divided into 3 parts: railay beach West that is surrounded by limestone cliffs, where it is possible to swim and also a point to watch the sunset. Railay Beach East has a famous activity that is popular with tourists, which is rock climbing and Phra Nang Cave Beach, which is the location of Phra Nang Cave.
