The province Krabi, in southern Thailand’s Andaman Sea, is a
tropical paradise only an hour’s flight from Bangkok. For the active
travellers, there are a host of nearby sea excursions and snorkelling trips that
can be easily arranged. To the west it borders on the Andaman Sea where
countless natural attractions abound, including white sandy beaches, fascinating
coral reefs numerous large and small islands, verdant forest and highly
interesting archaeological remains. Offshore the uninhabited islands of Poda,
Rang Nok and Hua Kwan offer opportunities for sea canoe expeditions, snorkelling
and diving.
Krabi, 180kms. from Phuket, fast developing provincial capital, has friendly
townspeople, good food and some good beaches nearby. The large islands of Phuket
and Koh Phi phi can be reached by boat; the smaller limestone islands shoot out
of the sea.
Krabi's mountainous physical geography is broken by highlands and plains on
the mainland; the provincial administration also covers more than 130 islands
big and small in the Andaman. Natural forest cover is chiefly mangrove and
Cassia trees. This area is the home to rare species of birds, reptiles and
insects. The underground is visible from the many caves and caverns, containing
temples, prehistoric paintings and archaeological sites.
