About Krabi Town


Krabi Town is a small riverside city with a population of just over 50,000 people. Krabi Town itself is not particularly popular with foreign visitors who tend to pass straight through on route to the more famous beaches of Ao Nang and Railay. There are, however, a few things worth seeing in the town itself as well as nearby before heading off to the beach.
