Krabi stakes claim to one of Thailand’s most beautiful places. On southern Thailand’s west coast, it is a province known for its craggy, sheer limestone cliffs, dense mangrove forests, and more than a hundred offshore islands. Some of its most popular beach destinations include the Phi Phi Islands, which jut from the sea like giant rainforested boulders, and Railay Beach, accessible only by boat and a prominent rock-climbing spot in one of the most beautiful places. Remember the movie The Beach? It was filmed there.

The Holiday Inn Resort Krabi Ao Nang Beach shares a playful sense of tropical fun from a family-focused waterpark with waterslides to couples-focused relaxing free-form infinity pools and swim-up bars.
