Southern Escape Route: Nok Air offering crazy Krabi deal

We have been to a place of untold beauty where a river meets the ocean. Vertical limestone cliffs dot the landscape from the inland jungles to the beaches, and out into the ocean into an archipelago that scatters across a serene bay.

The soil here is fertile and supports rainforests full of birds and monkeys. More than two centuries ago, a community was established at the mouth of the river. Legend has it that before the community’s founding, an ancient sword was unearthed in its place. Ever since, the community adopted the word “sword” in its local language as its name: Krabi

A short morning flight from Bangkok and you will find yourself standing in the Krabi sun, breathing in the saltwater air mixed with earthy green fragrances.

Krabi Town bustles as the commercial center of life in the province, a vibrant mixture of Buddhist and Muslim Thai culture and food. The two night markets here are the place to try Krabi’s famous pungent Southern curries and local fresh fish, fruit, and vegetables.

Those after adventure over culture must head to Railay, the much-loved small peninsula completely cut off from mainland by high cliffs and accessible only by boat. This is one of the world’s most famous climbing grounds –  beginners to professionals can be accommodated with routes on the soaring karst cliffs.

You can also take a boat out to Ko Phi Phi Don and snorkel with sea turtles. Or kayak around Phang Nga Bay exploring sea caves. Or trek through lush Khao Phanom Bencha National Park to the highest point in the province.

A flight from Bangkok to Krabi is only 80 minutes and Nok Air is offering a dynamite deal as part of a year-end promotion. If you book between today November 25 and Thursday, November 27 for travel dates between 5 December 2014 and 31 March 2015, you can score rates as low as THB855 per person.

Book your Southern escape to Krabi now!
