Krabi, Krabi Province, Thailand Villa Holiday Homes

It’s located between Phang Nga and Trang and is home to over 150 islands, most with with the sunscreen-white sand and turquoise waters you’d expect of a place known as Thailand’s beach capital. Many Krabi hotels are just metres from picture-perfect stretches of sand, making ideal bases for days spent in the sun.
