Krabi location
About half way down the Thai penisula you'll find Krabi: southern
Thailand's most picturesque province. Halfway between Phuket (2.5
hours drive) and Samui Island (around 2 hours drive to the Samui
ferry terminal) with pristine beaches and an amazing interior.
The province Krabi is renowned for the limestone 'karst' scenery
that can be seen throughout the province which gives it a dramatic
natural beauty unlike anywhere else.
The 170 km coastline is coastline is dotted with bays, coves
and outcrops of limestone mountains jutting up from the sea, creating
a fascinating seascape of tropical islands. Inland, the limestone
mountains support a rich reserve of plant and animal life.
Rubber palm oil, coconut and coffee have traditionally been Krabi's
main crops in what has always been a mainly farming province.
However, with natural attractions like tropical islands, palm
fringed beaches, forest waterfalls and caves attracting more and
more sunseeking tourists, and for the more adventurous traveller;
rock climbing, kayaking, elephant treking and much much more,
Krabi has begun to turn more towards its tourism industry.
It's time to visit Krabi, to love it and find paradise here.
