Sass
Once a secondary destination to Phuket, Krabi came into its own
when tourists discovered the fascinating landscapes around Phra Nang
Bay, where limestone headlands and cliffs guard some outstanding
beaches and water. And strings of islands spread offshore, offering
great opportunities for exploration of their waters, bays and caves, as
well as glittering underwater coral. More popular destinations are the
fabulous Phi Phi Islands, some of the most beautiful in the world, and
Lanta Island National Park. |
Location & Access
Located on the Andaman Sea
coast, 814 kms south of Bangkok.
Geography
Krabi consists of mountains, low
land, flat plains and more than 30
islands of various sizes off the
coast. Limestone cliffs back the
coastal areas of Phra Nang Bay.
The still pristine jungles include
white mangrove and mangrove
forests. The soil is mostly sandy
clay and rich loam, perfect for
rubber, palm, cashew nut, coffee
and coconut plantations.
