Latest reviews on Krabi's beaches

Pi Leh Lagoon Beach
10 Natalya Petrova

This breathtaking destination is truly remarkable. As advised by fellow travelers, it's best to begin your day early to avoid the influx of boats that arrive later on. If you're a fan of snorkeling, this beach is an absolute paradise. The scenery is perfect for capturing unforgettable moments and creating lasting memories of your time on Phi Phi Island.

Khlong Chak Beach

The southern coast of the island boasts a lovely beach that is easily accessible by motorbike. The parking area is free of charge, which is a plus. However, the entrance to the beach is not as clean as one would expect, with a significant amount of litter and debris scattered about. It's unfortunate that visitors leave behind bottles, flip flops, and other items, detracting from the natural beauty of the area.

Mu Ko Lanta Beach
10 Lirin Suthorn

We embarked on a delightful stroll through the forest, which takes approximately one hour to traverse. Our journey commenced from the steps adjacent to the parking area and concluded at the seaside. Although the wind was quite brisk during our visit, the experience as a whole was truly enjoyable.

Tonsai Beach
10 Zephyr

Undoubtedly, the most relaxing and enjoyable time I had in Thailand was spent at this beach. It is highly recommended to visit this place with ample time to interact with the natives and other tourists. The beach is ideal for indulging in world-class climbing activities and to escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. I cherish the memories of my stay here and would rate it 10 out of 5 if possible.

Tubkaek Beach
8 Nikola Radic (radik)

This lovely expanse of shoreline boasts multiple lodging options and offers a sense of seclusion that is truly refreshing. It is renowned for its breathtaking views of the sunset and the charming islets that are visible from the beach. It is worth noting that this beach is not your average swimming spot, as it is dotted with marshes and stones. However, it is an ideal location for kayaking and canoeing enthusiasts.

10 Landon Grey Studios
