Krabi Town – A Very Quick Travel Guide

Krabi Town is often overlooked by tourists, but if you want to experience some real local Thai life, it makes a great – and very affordable – base for exploring the beaches and islands of Krabi

Often overlooked as a place simply to pass through, Krabi Town has a great deal to offer as a place to stay in itself. It is strung along the Krabi River estuary with a view of the oddly shaped Kanab Nam limestone karst promontories standing like jagged bookends leading to Khao Panom Bencha Mountain in the distance.

Although it is near a host of wonderful beaches and islands, Krabi Town is very much a functioning provincial capital where tourism is only a small part of the picture. This makes it a far more casual and inexpensive place to stay than any of the major resort areas. There are plenty of excellent hotels and restaurants but it remains uncluttered where the pace of life is pleasantly slow.
