Information
Krabi is at the moment Thailand's best kept secret and from any point you stand along the coast you will be astounded by the views out to the hundreds of local islands and islets. Most famously is James Bond Island which featured in 'The man With The Golden Gun' and Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi, which became the dream destination for many a traveller passing through Asia.
Getting to Krabi
Krabi is very reachable by car at just a 2 hour drive from Phuket airport and 2 hour drive from Koh Samui (once you get off the ferry) so it is very popular for people escaping from these destinations. Krabi airport has just undergone an expansion to accommodate future interest in the area. There are already direct flights coming in from Sweden as well as Singapore and Kuala Lumpa. Domestically regular flights arrive from Bangkok and 1 flight a day from Koh samui.
