Sscuba diving beaches & snorkeling vacation

Krabi is one of the most relaxing places on the planet. Stunning scenery, fantastic white sand beaches, a coastline with over 200 islands and a tropical jungle featuring cliffs, caves, waterfalls and exotic wildlife are all reasons to travel there and to spend an excellent vacation, alone or with your family.
Located on the southern section of the "tail" of Thailand, Krabi has a wide variety of rock climbing opportunities. There are literally hundreds climbs with difficulty levels from beginner to professional athletes. The beauty of rock climbing in Krabi is amazing because most of the climbs have been set up on cliff faces on the beach. Of course, nearby were built many hotels, restaurants, and bars. As a result, you can climb a multi-pitch route for five hours, cool off with a swim in the blue ocean and then have a very cold beer on a palm shadowed terrace... If on the Earth exist such a thing as a rock climbing heaven, than Krabi is it!
Many rock climbing outfitters in Krabi also give lessons at various skill levels to help you improve your rock climbing abilities. The limestone cliffs and unique stone formations have helped Krabi to achieve a global reputation among rock climbers. Ton Sai is the first stop for most climbers, as it's the most frequented climbed place in the area. Other climbing trips to more secluded areas can be easily arranged.
With so many vacation activities that are perfect to enjoy for the whole family, Krabi has framed itself as a laid-back resort destination, where the vacation's target falls on relaxation instead of on high-energy parties. With abundant plant life and beautiful coral reefs, there's plenty to explore.
One of the most remarkable ways to experience the limestone rock formations and spectacular beaches is to take a day trip from one island to another. Many resorts offer organised day trips to the highlights of this archipelago. For independent travelers sea kayaks are available for rent and can be used for trips to smaller islands. If you spend a vacation in Krabi a boat trip to Phi Phi is a must too!
If you would like a place to set up a camp consider heading out to Than Bok Khorani National Park, a secluded place without accommodation facilities in hotels or resorts. There you'll find an abundance of plant species and wildlife. The park boasts also several limestone caves and lovely mangrove forests.
A another great travel destination is island Koh Lanta, now a marine national park. This island features beautiful beaches, unique rock formations and stunning coral reefs. Some of the rain forest on this island is virtually untouched and is protected. Vacationers can rent bungalows and stay in area to explore better the magnificent nature.
Ao Nang beach area is the main vacation hot spot of Krabi. In this resort area you'll find bars and restaurants whose doors remain open past midnight. Still, this is a family-oriented vacation resort, with nice restaurants and a relaxed & quiet atmosphere. The main beach activities are well represented. The official scuba diving season in Krabi is from November to Mach, though the conditions are hospitable all year round and divers can be found there at every time of the year. Snorkelling is also a great way to get a view of the coral reefs. Diving companies from the mainland will arrange diving trips out to the best reefs in the surrounding area.
Temple Tham Seua Wat is the largest in Krabi and its name means "Tiger Cave Temple". It's literally tucked into the cliffs of Ao Luk Thanu mountain range. The highlight of this temple is the footprint of Buddha.
