![]() ![]() Indeed, as is the case for seeing Krabi in 3 days in general, your task-list for Koh Phi Phi is simple: 1) Join a tour (preferably the sunset one, which departs at 2 p.m.) bound for Koh Phi Phi Leh, the island that’s home to the beach 2) Ascend the aptly-named View Point (ideally the next morning, before catching your ferry back to Krabi Town) to enjoy a panorama of the narrow strip of land that separates the main beaches of Koh Phi Phi Don. (TIP: If seeing “the beach” is not a huge priority for you, you might spend your second of 3 days in Krabi in Koh Lanta instead.) Famous, among other things, for being home to the limestone karst beach from The Beach, Koh Phi Phi possesses an iconic beauty, but you should also be prepared for your visit here: It’s incredibly crowded, to the point of being unbearable some parts of the year. Rise early on your second of three days in Krabi, then head to Railway West where you’ll catch your ferry from Krabi to Phi Phi. (NOTE: If you won’t have time for Krabi island hopping during your Krabi itinerary 3 days or longer, you could stop here and use what I’ve written so far as a Krabi 1 day itinerary!) Day Two: The Beach Get a bird’s eye view of this land mass (and a small dose of climbing-yes, ropes are involved!) by climbing up to the View Point, which provides a stunning panorama. Come down, then walk under several karstic caves (photograph the monkeys, but don’t feed them) and arrive at the Phra Nang Caves, which are not only a great vantage point for sunset, but are filled with penis carvings that are purported to bring virility to men and fertility to women. The hotel I’ve recommended above is located at the more charming and secluded Railay East, but Railay West is actually home to the best beaches (at high tide, the only beaches!) of the peninsula-and, in my opinion, the best Krabi beach overall, at least among those I’ll mention in this Krabi blog. Railay is most famous as the rock-climbing capital of Krabi province, but there are plenty of adventures to be had, even if you have a fear of heights. What to Do in Krabi for 3 Days Day One: Rock Walls and Penis CavesĪfter arriving at Krabi Airport, get a taxi or share van to Ao Nammao Pier, where you’ll board a long-tail boat to Railay Beach. Sasi House in Krabi Town initially appears simple and unremarkable, but has an understate charm and glamour that belie its humble exterior. ![]() Phi Phi View Point Resort lives up to its name with a stunning panorama, and its height also immunizes you from much of the island’s noise. Sunrise Tropical Resort in Railay, for example, feels secluded and private (TIP: Splurge and get the villa!) even though it’s just steps from the area’s most popular attractions (and cheaper than many equally luxurious Krabi beach hotels). For each of these locales, I can recommend an excellent hotel from personal experience. This Krabi travel blog will suggest you spend each night of your three nights in Krabi itinerary in a different place: Railay Beach, Koh Phi Phi Don and Krabi Town, in that order.
