Broken clouds. Warm.
7 day forecast »
Friendly people, delicious food and some local flavor make the provincial capital of Krabi a pleasant place to spend a day. Most travelers quickly breeze through, using the town as a jumping-off point for the wonderful surrounding destinations - Ko Lanta to the south, Ko Phi-Phi to the southwest and Ao Nang, Railay and Tham Phra Nang to the west.
Some travelers elect to stay in town and make day trips to the latter, as there are many good guesthouses and dining options here.
Suggested Itineraries: Krabi
Wat Kaew, on the edge of town, contains some interesting 19th- and early 20th-century buildings. It's possible to climb one of the two limestone massifs of Khao Khanap Nam, just north of the center. A number of human skeletons were found in the caves here, thought to be the remains of people trapped during an ancient flood.
The eastern bank of the river is covered in dense mangroves, and north of town are the twin limestone massifs of Khao Khanap Nam, which emerge from the water like two breaching whales.
