History of Krabi

The town's captivating history intertwines seamlessly with its landscapes, creating an intriguing destination to uncover. The iconic temples stand as a tribute to Krabi's enduring legacy with its relics and awe-inspiring architecture.

Modern Krabi

Keep cash handy

While many places accept cards, it's always wise to have some cash on hand. Small vendors, local markets, and some cafes in Krabi might not accept card payments. ATMs are plentiful (try to only use official bank ATMs), and the exchange rate is generally better than at currency exchange booths.

Explore reefs while snorkeling, glide across pristine bays, and relax on picturesque white sandy beaches. Encounter playful monkeys at Monkey Beach, or visit spots like Maya Bay, which was made famous by the movie "The Beach." There's a little something to suit everyone's taste.
