Phi Information
This seaside province is located in the Andaman Sea. The province
is full of white sandy beaches, crystal clear seawater, beautiful
islands, verdant forest with caves, and waterfalls, including more
than 100 offshore islands.
Krabi is located 814 kilometres from Bangkok, covering an area of
4,708 square kilometres. 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.
The province consists of mountains, hills, plains, and mangrove
forests, including more than 130 large and small islands. Krabi
town has a 5-metre-long river, which flows through town and ends
at the Andaman Sea in Tambon Pak Nam. There are several canals in
Krabi including Khlong Pakasai (¤Åͧ»¡ÒÊÑÂ),
Khlong Krabi Yai (¤Åͧ¡ÃкÕèãËè)
and Khlong Krabi Noi (¤Åͧ¡ÃкÕè¹éÍÂ),
all of them originate from Phanom Bencha mountain range, the highest
mountain range in Krabi.
Krabi is administratively divided into 8 Amphoes (districts): Amphoe
Mueang, Khao Phanom, Khlong Thom, Plai Phraya, Ko Lanta, Ao Luek,
