Nestled at the mouth of the Krabi River on Thailand’s Andaman Coast, Krabi is an important ferry hub for islands and resorts around Phang Nga Bay, and so retains a more authentic feel than most towns of comparable size in the area. Its defining feature, however, are the massive outcrops of limestone that tower above the surrounding mangroves. Some of the finest beaches on the Andaman Coast – including Ao Nang and Railay Bay – also lie within easy reach.
