Krabi: One Province is Home to some of the Most Exotic and Entertaining Attractions in the World

Krabi province, home to some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the entire world, is characterized by archipelagos that travellers can navigate in a variety ways, finding food, fun and adventure around every turn. There are more than 150 islands in the area, which is characterized by scenic limestone karsts and beautiful secluded beaches. It is easily one of the most attractive destinations in the world.

The province is divided into eight districts : Amphoe Muang (Krabi Town), Khao Panom, Khlong Thom, Plai Phraya, Ko Lanta, Ao Luk, Lam Thap and Nhua Khlong. Much of the province has been the seat of several national parks.  Kayaking, sailing, bird watching, snorkeling, diving, cycling and trekking are just a few of the top activities to experience here. The many festivals, safaris, treks, restaurants, clubs, resorts, golf courses, cooking classes and sight-seeing adventures to discover throughout the province guarantee fun for all ages to experience in a setting that is beyond breath-taking.

The Andaman coast is an almost otherworldly region.  People have lived in the province for thousands of years. It has a rich history of sheltering pirates, merchants, and sea gypsies. Archaeological evidence suggests that the province was originally inhabited as early as 25,000 - 35,000 years ago.

Attractions that include hot springs, a wildlife sanctuary, sea caves, flourishing coral reefs and exotic marine life, limestone cliffs, world-class rock climbing and national parks that include the island paradises of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta are just a few of the reasons travelers from all over the world visit the province. The optimal time for a visit is between October and April. May – September are monsoon months.

Krabi Town is the somewhat sleepy provincial capital of Krabi. It’s a charming riverside town. The hilly streets feature a number of cozy cafes. One can also find some of the best authentic (and inexpensive) Thai cuisine at the outdoor, riverside evening market. Krabi’s charm lies in its friendly people, delicious food and relatively low traffic compared with other destinations in the province.

Overlooking Krabi Town is a mistake, as Krabi offers travelers easy access to a number of sport adventure tours, modern conveniences, medical facilities and other opportunities that can only be found in a larger town.  Also, like Ao Nang (which is the place that locals call “Town,” located about 20 min. away), it’s a great place to establish as a home base for island-hopping day trips. After spending a day out in the wild, it’s nice to come back to a fine meal, soft bed and relaxing massage, which are easily found in and around Krabi Town.

There are two mainland national parks in Krabi, Khao Phanom Bencha and Than Bokk-horani that offer inland scenic attractions including waterfalls and caves, and opportunities for trekking, bird watching and eco-tours.  In the Koh Lanta National Park there are several coral-fringed islands with well-known diving sites. Khao Phanom Bencha includes some parts of Amphoe Ao Luk, Amphoe Khao Phanom, and Amphoe Muang, Amphoe Phanom Bencha National Park, whose thick forests are filled with rolling streams, crisp waterfalls and wild animals.
