The district of Krabi in southern Thailand is arguably one of the most beautiful regions in the world, let alone the country. The crystal clear waters of the Andaman are made even more spectacular by the exotic, lush limestone mountains jutting straight out of the sea; a sight that movie producers and location scouts enjoy just as much as the tourist-turned expats who come here on vacation and end up never leaving.
While there are of course many reasons expats move to Thailand, the beautiful scenery is certainly a prevalent one. Here are five properties in Krabi that allow you to enjoy the stunning scenery every day, from every room:
