If you’ve ever looked at Thailand in a holiday brochure, you’re probably familiar with those iconic, jungle-topped karsts that rise dramatically out of the Andaman Sea, limestone sentinels watching over their utopia below. Famous the world over (thank you, Leo di Caprio), the staggering cliffs are the distinguishing feature of south-western Thailand’s Krabi coastline, one of the country’s most popular beach destinations and ideal for an iconic, toes-in-the-sand break. But whilst golden sands, luxe hotels and aquamarine seas are all present and correct, there’s also much more to the province than just lazing on a lounger. Send your heart rate sky high with a climb to the top of the karsts, then kayak around the rugged shoreline, stopping at hidden coves and snorkelling with technicolour fish. On land, climb all 1,200 steps to the golden Buddha atop the Tiger Cave Temple, then descend for a cold one in Krabi Town and watch the world go by.
