About Krabi
Krabi is the coastal province that covers an area of 4,708 square kilometers and is located 814 km south of Bangkok. Krabi's major attractions are located largely along its extensive coastline, which contains several well-known beaches and bays, and numerous offshore tropical islands. The province had a population of 483,855 in 2024 rank of 57th out of Thailand's 76 provinces (excluding Bangkok).
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 dependent 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.
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 is perfect for a variety of agricultural produce, such as rubber trees, palms, oranges, coconuts, longkong and coffee. The Krabi River flows about 5 kilometers through the town and empties into the Andaman Sea at Tambon Pak Nam.
