Geography
Coast, islands & karsts
Krabi Town sits on the river, while Ao Nang is the main beach base. Railay is on the mainland but accessible by boat because of the cliffs. Offshore islands require separate boat travel.
Beach weather
November to April is generally drier. May to October often brings rain and rough seas. Follow beach warnings and check conditions before island trips.
Culture & heritage
Local communities
Krabi combines Buddhist temples, Muslim coastal communities and a strong fishing heritage. Dress respectfully in villages and at religious sites; beachwear belongs at the beach.
Temple etiquette
Cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes where requested and speak quietly. Ask before photographing people or ceremonies.
