Phra Nang Beach - Princess Bay - Krabi
There is no surprise Phra Nang is consistently voted as one of the world’s top ten beaches. It is simply gorgeous. Accessible only by foot from Railay East, the white sandy beach features only one hotel. The limestone rock formations are some of the best in the peninsular for climbers. Phra Nang is also famous for its curious and sacred cave featuring phallic symbols.
People come for the glorious views and powdery white sand. The clear shallow water is safe for swimming, especially for children. A low tide you can walk to two small nearby islands that offer great snorkelling.
At lunch long tail boats arrive, bringing you a great choice of fresh local and international food and drink.
