Krabi boasts an amazing beach that I have never seen before! It's a perfect destination to unwind with your family over the weekend. Thale Waek is renowned for its incredible phenomenon that occurs during low tide when the water level recedes, revealing two islands. There are countless picturesque spots to capture beautiful memories, and multiple beaches to choose from. The beach is stunning, with soft, powdery sand, but it can get crowded. The afternoons can be hot, and there isn't much to do if the water is high and you can't cross between the two islands. The water is crystal clear and teeming with fish that will nibble at your toes as soon as you step in. The sand is soft, clean, and inviting, and the atmosphere is fantastic with the beautiful beach and sea. The island is a lovely place to relax for a while, and swimming is a delightful experience, but be cautious of the big waves and jellyfish. I highly recommend visiting this place, but if you prefer to avoid the crowds, it's best to skip the weekends.

Krabi's Beach is an amazing place to visit! The sand is soft and clean, making it perfect for a relaxing day by the sea. The atmosphere is great, and the beach itself is beautiful. The island is a lovely place to unwind, and swimming is a great way to cool off. However, be aware of the big waves and jellyfish. If you didn't bring food with you, there are food stalls selling snacks, food, and drinks. The prices are a bit higher than what you'd find on the mainland, but everything is still great and worth the price for being on a faraway island. Just keep in mind that there might be an entrance fee if it's not included in your tour package.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its pristine sand, however it tends to get overcrowded. It's worth noting that the beach has a private resort for those seeking a more secluded experience.
