For those who want to visit the mountains after all of the water-based activities, having a local healthy lunch at the Khaothong Terrace restaurant will bring you unforgettable memories.

Sitting on top of Khaothong Hill, you can enjoy a view of one of the trendiest places in the social media world. You can take in the beauty of small and large islands in Phang Nga Bay from high above while enjoying a drink to cool down.

The breathtaking view, together with the freshness of the tropical fruit drinks, will make the trip a truly relaxing experience. This is one of the best places in Krabi to have a private moment and enjoy the sunset.

There are abundant choices for where to stay in Krabi, from cozy homestays to luxury hotels. Among them, the newly built Varana Hotel Krabi is an environmentally friendly hotel.

It offers an unforgettable wellness experience to guests seeking a holiday destination with various options to rebalance themselves.

The heart of Varana is the "Wellcation Experience" — a fulfilling holiday experience derived from wholesome meals, sound sleep, fun excursions and sustainable tourism that values the natural resources and communities.

"The name Varana itself conveys its respect for nature, an equilibrium in the triangle of vana (forest in Thai), nava (water) and nara (humans)," said Chonchaya Nanthavisai, head of the hotel's business department. "So, the hotel is designed to reflect the concept."

She said that has translated into a sustainable design in the construction and decoration of the hotel.

"For example, we use a highly efficient air-conditioning system that can save energy by up to 40 percent compared to an ordinary one. Through a heat exchange system, the heat from the air conditioner is then used for heating water in the hotel," she said.

For water sports lovers, the hotel offers four swimming pools, one of which is Krabi's first Olympic-size swimming pool in a hotel. Moreover, Varana is connected by a small trail to a private beach in Tubkaak Bay, which only takes three minutes to walk.
