Overview
Phuket province is located in southern Thailand. It is the biggest Island of Thailand and sits on the Andaman sea. The nearest province to the north is Phang-nga and the nearest provinces to the east are Phang-nga and Krabi.
Phuket has a large Chinese influence, so you will see many Chinese shrines and Chinese Restaurants around the City. A Chinese Vegetarian Festival is held there every year. While the Chinese community is quite big, there are many other ethnicities bringing all their traditions and festivals from all over the world to Phuket.
Being a big Island, Phuket is surrounded by many magnificent Beaches such as Rawai, Patong, Karon, Kamala, Kata Yai, Kata Noi, and Mai Khao. Laem Phromthep viewpoint is said to feature the most beautiful sunsets in Thailand.
Krabi is famous for its scenic view and breathtaking Beaches and Islands. Its coral reef vistas are also one of the world’s most beautiful, which makes the City a great spot for coral diving.
With attractions including hot springs, a wildlife sanctuary, sea caves, flourishing coral reefs and exotic marine life, limestone cliffs that draw rock climbing enthusiasts from around the world, and national parks that include the Island paradises of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta, one could easily spend weeks in Krabi and leave yearning for more.
If that wasn’t enough, Krabi features some of the most photogenic sunsets in Thailand, often accompanied by spectacular displays of cloud-to-cloud lightning, that are best enjoyed from a Beachside bar or Restaurant.
“Town” to most visitors is Ao Nang, a seaside sTrip of guesthouses, hotels, bars, Restaurants, and Souvenir shops that continues to grow as tourist arrivals increase, now spreading north into Noppharat Thara, whose quiet, shady Beach is part of the national park that includes the Phi Phi Islands. Ao Nang is the major launching point for Boat Trips to nearby Islands and the isolated Beaches of Phra Nang Cape, where the famous former hippie enclave of Railey Beach is located.
Krabi also provides you with great Shopping venues such as Maharaj Walking Street (Friday-Sunday market from 5.00 – 10.00 pm) and Chao Fah Pier night market (daily market from 5.00 pm – 12.30 am).
About the Place
Phuket and Krabi are both fantastic destinations for travellers looking for both cultural and beach holidays. Phuket is a more metropolitan city with a more diverse range of attractions in terms of food and activities. However, Krabi is cheaper, more relaxed, and a more tranquil location for a trip. Krabi is famous for its impressive karst scenery and breathtaking white sand beaches, where you can enjoy a variety of water sports and outdoor activities.
