Krabi is the southern Thailand province where the limestone cliffs lean out over the water and the islands feel close enough to swim to. Most of the best days here happen on a boat — longtail to the Hong lagoons, speedboat to Phi Phi, a quiet kayak through the mangroves before the heat picks up.

On land there's the climb up Tiger Cave Temple, the emerald pools an hour inland, the night swims through bioluminescent plankton, and the cooking classes that take you through Krabi Town's morning market first.

What follows is the ten experiences travellers book most across the major platforms. It's where to start when the week is wide open and the only question is which day to put what.
