About Krabi and Krabi province

Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Krabi province sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.

Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.

Koh Hong is one of the most beautiful islands in Krabi. The hidden lagoon surrounded by limestone cliffs is truly breathtaking and the water is crystal clear. We visited during an island hopping tour from Ao Nang and it was an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a great boat tour in Krabi, Ann & Co. Travel Agency organizes excellent trips to Hong Island.

Koh Hong is truly beautiful — soft white sand and clear turquoise water. The island has that perfect tropical vibe.

The day we visited it was very crowded, so we didn’t hike up to the viewpoint, but overall it was still a lovely stop and worth seeing.

A very beautiful landscape, the beach i can not say that i like it so much is full of jelly fish so you need to be very careful. But anyway the place and the view from above is astonishing.

Hong Island is a true paradise!! It has one of the best beaches in the area and it also has a 360 degrees viewpoint - up and down journey would take you around 30 minutes. Don't forget to take with you lots of water, sunscreen and goggles for snorkeling. Highly recommended!!!
