Krabi: limestone cliffs over the Andaman Sea

The beach of Railay, reachable only by boat due to the absence of access roads, remains surrounded by vertical limestone cliffs popular among climbers from around the world.

Offshore, the island of Koh Phi Phi Leh, where the film 'The Beach' with Leonardo DiCaprio was shot, houses the famous Maya Bay with turquoise waters.

Continuing along the coast, one visits Phra Nang Cave, a sanctuary where local fishermen still leave votive offerings today to ask for good fishing and sea protection.

Toward evening, the night market of Krabi Town offers Thai street food along the river that runs through the city center.

Maya Bay was closed to tourism for several years starting in 2018 to allow the coral reef damaged by excessive tourism to regenerate naturally.

The limestone cliffs of Railay, reaching up to one hundred ninety meters high, attract experienced climbers from around the world thanks to the quality of the rock and the sea view during climbing.
