Looking for a tropical getaway that blends relaxation and adventure? Krabi—with its limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and laid-back island vibes—is the perfect weekend escape! Here’s how I soaked up the sun, explored hidden gems, and indulged in delicious Thai flavors.

📍 Why Krabi?

✅ Stunning beaches without the Phuket crowds.
