2 Days in Krabi for First Timers

Curated by Jen Penga Tahoe-based writer who loves traveling, food, and adventures.

A 2-day trip to Krabi gives you time to enjoy world-class beaches and islands; try your hand at fun activities such as rock climbing and sea kayaking; and relax with a renowned Thai massage. Here are a few ways to make the most of two days in Krabi.


Day 1: Morning

Spend your first morning getting active. Learn to climb at Railay Beach, a world-class climbing destination, or choose between high-octane activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, sea kayaking, and white-water rafting. You can also go off-road on an ATV or take to the air zip-lining.

Day 1: Afternoon

Join a guided island-hopping trip and visit islands such as Chicken Island, the Khai Islands, and Poda Island. Tours typically give you time to enjoy the beach and explore hidden lagoons and caves, and conclude with a sunset BBQ on the beach.

Day 1: Night

Enjoy a cultural performance or a cabaret show this evening, or check out the night market if you’re in town during the weekend. Those looking for a big night out can head to Soi RCA or Ao Nang Center Point, or join a guided pub crawl, which give you the inside scoop on Krabi’s best nightlife venues.

Day 2: Morning

Join a sightseeing tour to get an introduction to the culture and history of Krabi. Head to the jungles and go for a swim in the Emerald Pools or stay closer to town at the Tiger Cave Temple, where you can climb to the top for panoramic views.

Day 2: Afternoon

Visit a market to experience local life. Enjoy some street food for lunch, or opt for a cooking class to make your own meals and take home recipes for traditional Thai dishes. Alternatively, you could opt for a cruise on the Krabi River or around a mangrove forest.

Day 2: Night

Pamper yourself during your last night in town. Soak in a rejuvenating hot spring, enjoy a Thai massage, or bliss out with some spa treatments before watching a final, magical sunset over the Andaman Sea.
