About Krabi Province - Thailand

Krabi province is located on the south west coast of Thailand, some 800km by road from the capital, Bangkok. It is bounded by Phang Nga province to the north, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Surat Thani to the east, and Trang to the south.

132 islands offshore in the Andaman Sea also fall under Krabi's jurisdiction, several of which - including the Lanta Islands, Ko Phi Phi Don and Ko Jum - are inhabited. The province itself is split into eight administrative districts, called Ampur in Thai: Ao Luk; Plai Praya; Muang (which covers Ao Nang, Railay, Krabi Town, Klong Muang and the Phi Phi Islands); Neua Klong; Klong Thom; Khao Phanom; Lam Tup and Ko Lanta.

The province covers a total area of 4709 square kilometres. Krabi's population is currently around 395,000 people, of which 60% are Buddhist and 40% Muslim

Please note: Koh Hong and Koh Yao Yai are in Phang Nga Province, and not included in this group.
