The province of Krabi, in southern Thailand’s Andaman Sea, is the quintessential tropical paradise and only an hour’s flight from Bangkok. This once little-known province on the west coast of Thailand is now known internationally for having some of the most stunningly beautiful beaches in the world.

There are over a hundred large and small islands that juristically belong to the province, including the famous Phi Phi Islands. Most of these islands are uninhabitable, thus Ao Nang on the mainland provides a convenient and comfortable base for visitors who aim to explore these islands during the day.

Krabi is also blessed with a plethora of other natural wonders such as waterfalls, caves, fossil grounds and hot springs. Additional attractions in the province include stunning limestone cliffs and rock formations which make it a haven for rock climbers. For the active traveller, there is a host of nearby sea excursions, scuba diving and snorkeling trips that can be easily arranged.

Pavilion Queen’s Bay is a luxurious deluxe resort perched high atop a hill that overlooks the white sands of beautiful Ao Nang Beach and the breathtaking rock formations and pristine jungle of Noppharat Thara Beach National Park. It is easily accessible, just 30 minutes from the airport by car, yet still secluded.

Built in a style inspired by palatial Thai architecture, Pavilion Queen’s Bay is a superb display of marbled lobby, multi-levelled pools and rooms with rich interiors that enables you to experience the Andaman Sea in the most unique fashion.
