“The Beach of Love Songs” is the theme for this year’s programme, which is again filled with exciting cultural and musical activities in a relaxing, picturesque and romantic setting.

“The event showcases Krabi’s appeal as a destination that offers nature and beaches, culture and unique local ways of life,” says Yupa Panrod of the Tourism Authority.

“These, of course, are some of the key elements of our new communication concept, ‘Open to the New Shades’, which encourages visitors to experience ‘Amazing Thailand’ in new and different ways.”

The Krabi Naga Fest will feature well-known pop-jazz musicians, street shows, yoga classes, local products on sale, a run-walk to the summit of nearby Mount Ngon Nak (Dragon Crest Mountain) and a beach cleanup.

Fresh seafood and other delicious cuisine four and five-star hotels and resorts will be available every day.
