Why is Krabi so popular?
Why is Krabi so popular? Krabi is one of the most visited parts of Thailand and it is clear to see why that is! It's the part of Thailand with both the most incredible beaches and the best national parks. It's also the perfect place to start island hopping with infamous islands nearby like Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
Is Phi Phi or Krabi better?
If you still decide to go, I would choose Krabi and hire a boat or do a group day tour of Phi Phi and surrounding islands. Phi Phi is very small, and Krabi offers more alternatives and more dramatic beauty. The beauty of Phi Phi are the twin circular harbours. The surrounding islands are worth a visit as well.
