About Krabi Town
A working river town suited to travellers who prefer local markets over beach resorts.
This is the administrative centre of the province, set along a wide river estuary rather than the ocean. You will find night markets, transit hubs, and lower prices than the coastal areas. Pick it if you need a base for early ferries or airport runs, but skip it if you want to walk straight onto a beach.
- Getting there
- Flights to Krabi airport and ferries to the islands.
- Watch out for
- There are no beaches here; you must travel to the coast.
