Krabi Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

Krabi Overview

There are no dearth of soft sand beaches, blue waters and hidden Buddhist temples in Thailand. What differentiates Krabi from the rest of them are the crowds. Or rather the lack of them. Tourism in Thailand tends to be in-your-face at the best of times and Krabi offers a welcome break from commercialised Phuket or resort-heavy Ko Lanta/Phi Phi Island. Krabi town itself is very close to the river mouth that opens to the gorgeous Andaman Sea at Tambon Pak Nam. The town itself is sleepy and bypassed quite often by the shoals of tourists visiting Thailand’s beaches. However, Krabi is a great spot to base yourself and visit nearby Ton Sai, Ao Nang or Rai Leh or the more famous beaches of Ko Lanta or Phi Phi.

Currency

The official currency of Thailand is Thai Baht (THB) 100 INR = 58 THB approximately. (For latest rates, check http://www.xe.com/)

Local Language

Thai is the official language of Bangkok but there are other languages that the locals speak. Communicating with the shopkeepers, vendors and taxi drivers should not be a problem as most of them understand basic English. However, they do appreciate if you talk in their local language so you can always say a polite 'Khorb Koon' when you want to say 'Thank you'.
