The Best Hostels In and Around Krabi Town
Krabi Province is a popular beach destination at the Andaman Sea in Southern Thailand. The administrative capital of the province is Krabi Town which, for many visitors, is also the entry point to the area. The entire province has a lot to offer visitors. There are impressive sandy beaches, clear water, colorful coral reefs, and unique caves and waterfalls. There are also some interesting islands in the area that make for nice excursions.

The area is probably most famous for its large limestone karsts, which climb vertically out of the flat rice paddies. The area is popular with outdoor sport enthusiasts because the scuba diving and rock climbing in the area is excellent.

Krabi Town has a population of about 25,000 and is located upriver from the coast, so it is not near the beach. If you end up staying in Krabi Town for a night or two, there are a few places to stay in the area that are fun and relaxing. The town can offer a nice alternative to the nearby touristy areas before you head to another beach resort.
