Situated along the Andaman coast, in southern Thailand, Krabi is one of Thailand's most beautiful places to viist. Almost midway between Phuket (3 hours drive) and Samui Island (around 2 hours drive to the Samui ferry terminal) with perfect beaches and a stunning interior.
Krabi province is famous for its great natural beauty, characterised by the limestone "karst" scenery that can be seen throughout the entire area. Words can't fully describe the view..The coastline is nearly 160 kilometres long, and is dotted with bays, coves and towering outcrops of limestone mountains rising up from the sea, creating an interesting seascape of tropical islands. As you move inland, the limestone mountains support a rich bio-diversity of animal and plant life.
Predominantly, it's an agricultural area, with sandy clay soil conditions which are perfect for producing rubber, palm oil, fruit, coconuts and coffee. Rubber is the main cash crop grown with over 750,000 rai being under cultivation for this purpose. Palm oil is, followed by coconuts.
However, with wonderful natural attractions like tropical islands, palm edged beaches, forest waterfalls and caves attracting more and more sunseeking, adventure-bound tourists, Krabi has begun to earn a substantial income from its tourism industry.
