History of Krabi

From archaeological discoveries, it is believed that Krabi was one of the oldest communities in Thailand dating from the prehistoric period. It is also believed that Krabi was once the town of Ban Thai Samo, one of 12 royal cities that used a monkey as the town symbol. Krabi was a dependency town of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom. Another legend indicates that the town may have taken its name after the meaning of Krabi, which means sword. This may have stemmed from a legend that says an ancient sword was unearthed prior to the city’s founding. Later, the sword became a symbol of Krabi.

Geography of Krabi
Krabi's mountainous physical geography is broken by highlands and plains on the mainland; the provincial administration also covers more than 130 large and small islands in the Andaman Sea.  Natural forest cover is chiefly mangrove and Cassia trees.  Krabi's sandy clay soil conditions are perfect for a variety of agricultural produces, including: rubber trees, palms, oranges, coconuts, and coffee. The Krabi River flows 5 kilometers through the town and falls into the Andaman Sea at Tambon Pak Nam.

Andaman Sea Festival, Krabi

Andaman Sea Festival - Muang District, Krabi Province This Festival takes place in November and celebrates the opening of the tourist season in Krabi. Water sport competitions, cultural shows, and good-natured fun are the schedule.

Ao Nang Bay, Krabi

Ao Nang  This bay is situated some 20 kilometres from town.  Its white sandy beach stretches to the foot of a conspicuously prominent limestone range. Accommodation is available along the beachfront.  Other facilities include diving shops, boats for rent and sightseeing by canoe. From Ao Nang, tourists may hire boats to visit nearby attractions such as Hat Rai Le, Tham Phra Nang located on the land to the east of Ao Nang, as well as other offshore isles such as Ko Poda, Ko Kai, Ko Mo and Ko Thap. 
Krabi Horticultural Centre This agrotourism attraction, supported by the Department of Agricultural Exension, is some 20 kilometers from Krabi on the way to Ao Luek District. The center covers a large area with a collection of local fruits, flowers and economic plants.
Hat Noppharat Thara This  is a 3-kilometre long sandy beach located 6 kilometers from Ao Nang. The beach, paved with tiny seashells, was formerly called "Hat Khlong Haeng" by locals, which means dried canal beach. The canal will dry up during low tide and the area turns into a long beach.  The headquarters of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park are situated here. The park covers a large area both onshore and offshore. 
Hat Rai Le This beach is generally divided into two sections, east and west.  West Rai Le offers a broad sandy beach. Although it has less facilities to offer than Ao Nang, West Rai Le is quieter and more peaceful.
Across the peninsula from West Rai Le is East Rai Le, which varies from the other beaches in the area.  It could actually be classified as a mud flat, especially during low tide. Even so, it does offer some rather remarkable views. One end of the beach is covered with mangroves.
 
Hat Tham Phra Nang Accessible only by boat, this sweeping beach offers fine-grained white sand and crystalline waters, as well as magnificent jagged karsts. Although visitors flock to this beach year-round, it is still extremely pristine, and considered to be the most attractive in the area.
The Inner and Outer Phra Nang Caves, and Phra Nang Lagoon are close by, and offer some truly spectacular views. Accommodation is available over a wide price range. Despite the fact that it is reachable only by boat, this area offers plenty of recreational activities.
 
Khao Khanap Nam Khao Khanap Nam is regarded as the symbol of Krabi.  It sits before the city and can be visited by long tail boat from Chao Fa Pier.  Travel time is about 15 minutes. From the boat, one climbs a staircase to see caves with stalactites and stalagmites.  A boat can be rented at 300 baht per trip to visit Khao Khanap Nam, mangrove forests and Ko Klang fishery village.
