Krabi Town
Calm, laidback and absolutely charming—Krabi Town is a breath of fresh air from the chaos of Thailand. While the rest of the country is literally crowded with tourists, this small market town remains to be very local yet it plays an important role in the province’s economy as its main transit and commercial point.
Krabi Town has always been the beauty that it is even before tourists from all around the world discovered it. Located amongst stunning limestone karst formations, Krabi Town offers a relatively simple provincial life for locals.
Being a kick-off point for popular destinations like Koh Phi Phi, Railay, Koh Lanta, and Ao Nang, most travelers only stop by Krabi Town to catch a ride to its surrounding islands.
But today, this small city is slowly becoming a tourist destination on its own where you’ll see hotels, restaurants and local gift shops filling up the city center to accommodate the growing number of tourists deciding to spend a night or two in the area.
Plus, if there is one thing that Krabi Town is famous for, it’s the people who will let you experience the best of Thai culture and hospitality, making your stay more rewarding than you ever thought.
