The small town 814 kms. away from Bangkok is a pleasant place to spend a few days sight-seeing before heading out to one of the local beaches or islands. Surrounded by spectacular limestione karst scenery and mangrove and monsoon forest it offers the nature lover a huge choice of day trips. Visit any of the forest parks or take a day trip out to the nearby Pha Nga bay to see strangely shaped mountains rising out of the sea above traditional Muslim fishing villages on stilts.
History seekers will not be disappointed either with a large number of old wats (temples) in the area including the famous Tiger cave Temple. Krabi Town itself offers the visitor a vast range of accommodation and eating options and shopping needs; from the colourful local markets to modern department stores like Vogue, plus everything in between. It is the best place to base yourself to visit this truly beautiful part of Thailand.
Krabi town has a lot to offer, especially during the high season when you might wish to escape the crowds and the expense of the beaches and i slands and stay a while in this charming town. Krabi is just a short boat ride from the beaches of Railay and it is even possible to visit Koh Phi Phi on a day trip so why not base yourself here and experience a bit more authentic Thai culture. There are many hotels and guest houses here where you can still get a room for a100 Baht or 200 Baht even when the beaches are expensive and full.
