Krabi

The capital of Southern Thailand Krabi Province

Krabi

Krabi, the capital of southern Thailand Krabi Province is a resort town near the Andaman coast. On the west coast, the Krabi River opens and empties into Phang Nga Bay. Krabi lies in an area of limestone karst and mangrove forest.

Krabi is considered Thailand’s jewel. The West Coast is renowned for its angular limestone formations that tower majestically over the Andaman Sea’s coastline waters, leading to lush tropical mangrove forests.

The Tiger Cave Temple, a Buddhist site with panoramic views, sits on a hilltop accessible by stairs. Khao Kanab Nam, two slanting hills rising out of the water, form a local landmark, and the Dragon Crest viewpoint offers the most amazing view over Krabi Province.

Andaman Sea destinations like the Phi Phi Islands are accessible by ferry from Krabi Town.

It is a popular base for visiting the stunning neighboring islands of Koh Phi Phi, Koh Hong, Railay, Phang Nga Bay, Koh Jum, Koh Lanta, and much more.

Krabi Town has many local restaurants to choose from and nightly food markets selling fresh, delicious seafood, cooked Thai style. There are many shops and market stalls in Krabi Town that sell clothing and souvenirs, but there are fewer in the neighboring town of Ao Nang, which is approximately a 30-minute drive away.
