Holiday season is coming up really soon! While the weather is usually cooler during year end, our little island seems to attract more wet weather during this period too. If you miss the sunny weather but is working on a tight budget and not having much annual leave left, look no further than Krabi!
Swimming in the crystal clear sea, basking under the warm sun, indulging on fresh seafood..that’s how life should be!
We have compiled a 4D3N Krabi itinerary for you to experience what paradise should be like!
Day 1
Scoot offers a daily flight to Krabi, with an additional flight on Wednesday and Friday, which means it is really convenient to get to this island paradise! In less than 2 hours, you will be able to leave the hustle and bustle in Singapore and find yourself relaxing on island paradise! Life is good!

For the active travellers, rent a kayak and paddle out to nearby beaches like Tonsai and Railey to explore more of Krabi! Both places are beautiful and can offer you activities like rock climbing! We recommend that you come back to Ao Nang Beach before the evening sun starts setting, because this beach offers one of the best sunset views that you would not want to miss!

After devouring the beautiful sunset, stroll over to The Beach Seafood and Grill (Address: 3 Tambon Ao Nang, Amphoe Mueang Krabi, Chang Wat Krabi 81180, Thailand) for a sumptuous dinner with freshly catches of the day and a mixture of Thai-Western fusion cuisine! This restaurant opens till midnight, so you can take your time to chill with your favourite drink after dinner, while enjoying the sea breeze.
Day 2
Hop on for a city tour to get the best sights of Krabi in the shortest time! Take this chance to purchase your favourite local products or get them as souvenirs for your loved ones back in Singapore!

After the city tour, head over to the Tiger Cave Temple! Climbing up the 1,237 steps leading to the top of the mountain is no easy feat, but it’s totally worth the challenge! Be awed by the scenic Krabi view which is entirely different from the skyline we have in Singapore. Standing at the top of the mountain will surely make you feel like you are on the top of the world. Spend some time here admiring the massive golden Buddha statues and visit some of the meditation caves. We felt totally accomplished after our (tough) walk up the mountain!

For those who prefer to take things in a more casual and relaxed pace, consider going to the Emerald Pool and Hot Springs! Located in the Thung Teao Forest National Park, you can also spend some time exploring the national park before heading over to the Emerald Pool where you can take a refreshing dip and swim!
Nearby Emerald Pool is also the Blue Pool. While the Blue Pool forbids swimming activity because the water temperature is too high, this is still a good place to explore and take some photos! After all, all these scenic nature locations are places that we do not have back in our own country!

After a relaxing swim in the Emerald Pool, head over to the Krabi Hot Springs for a unique outdoor spa experience! The natural spring water here is said to have therapeutic properties, so all you got to do is to sit back and have the spring water work magic on you!

If your stay in Krabi happens to cross the weekend, don’t miss going to the Krabi Town Walking Street! Head straight for all the yummy Thailand street food like phad thai, nutella pancake, mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream! Affordable and delicious food is one big reason why we love Thailand, aren’t it?
Other than food, there are also a lot of stalls selling various items like fashionable clothes and unique souvenirs where you can practise and enjoy the fun of bargaining with the stall owners!
Day 3
With its turquoise waters and pristine beaches, how can we not explore the different beaches that Krabi has to offer? Book yourself and your travel mate(s) on an island-hopping tour to explore the best of Krabi!

One of the must-visit and must-see island nearby Krabi would have to be the Phi Phi Islands! A vibrant and bustling island, the long stretch of restaurants and bars, and the exciting nightlife here will make you not want to leave! While this may be one of the more popular choices for tourists, it is still worth a trip here for its beautiful beaches and cliffs.

Nearby Phi Phi Island is also Bamboo Island which we recommend you visiting! A pearly white beach with no steep cliffs, this quaint island is a real paradise. Photo worthy backdrop and white ivory sandy beach will make you forget about the passing time while you are on this island.

If going to the conventional and popular route is not what you like, then consider Hong Island as your destination for island-hopping! Especially if you love snorkelling!
Known for having pristine beaches, this island will take your heart away the moment you are welcomed by the spectacular limestone cliffs. Dip into the waters and have fun with the swimming fishes!
Book yourself for a good Thai massage at Ao Nang beach after a long day of island hopping! Pamper yourself with a luxurious spa treatment too, if you have the time, so that your body can enjoy total relaxation and rejuvenation!
