The capital of the popular namesake province, the city of Krabi is often overlooked by tourists. Its reputation as an important industrial and transport hub has led to the notion that it is only good for being a travel base, without its own set of attractions. With the glitz and glamour of resort paradises like Ko Phi Phi, Ko Lanta and Ao Nang just short trips away, why should anyone choose Krabi?
Those who seek a place full of natural wonders and rich cultural heritage can't go wrong with a visit to Krabi. Its famed Khao Khanap Nam is composed of a pair of limestone cliffs that stick out like nails driven halfway through turquoise seas. It is popular among many rock-climbers as well as snorkelers wishing to explore the coral reefs that drape the rock formation.
Further inland, one can pay a visit to the historic Buddhist temples that dot the landscape, especially the distinctive Tiger Cave Temple located in the wilderness. Passing travelers may just be enticed to modify their itinerary if just let Krabi reveal its natural beauty.
