Krabi, Thailand offers a quieter, nature-focused escape far from the neon nightlife of Bangkok. Staying at Ao Nang cliff resorts, visitors can kayak on Klong Ruu’s crystal-clear freshwater “Mirror Lake” (a calm lake famous for clear reflections) and paddle through mangrove forests that felt like a film set for Jurassic World: Dominion. On Lanta Island, guided jungle treks reveal monkeys, lizards and a green snake — locals jokingly warned “super poison, dangerous — welcome to the jungle.” The trek leads to the hidden Klong Chak waterfall, a refreshing reward after losing phone signal and sense of direction. Resorts like Avani Plus Koh Lanta Krabi offer sunrise gondola rides on quiet lakes, pool villas with sea views, and organized jungle, island and boat tours. Best travel months are December–March; there are no direct flights from Korea—travel via Bangkok (+1h20 to Krabi).
