Getting to know Krabi the Town better
Krabi Town happens to be a Southern Province on the Andaman Seaboard of Thailand. The place comes with a rich history of aboriginal settlement. Stone tools, colored pictures, pottery, beads and skeletal remains are a routine in caves and cliffs. Krabi Town is also touted to be inhabited by Homo Sapiens during the era of BC 35,000 – 25,000.
During the period of A.D. 1200, Krabi Town was supposedly a part of the Kingdom of Ligor, situated on the Kra Peninsula's East Coast. The place rechristened in modern times as Nakon Si Thammarat.
The late Eighteenth Century in Thailand saw the commencement of the Rattanakosin when the capital was finally settled in Bangkok. An Elephant Kraal was established in Krabi Town with the orders of Chao Phraya Nakom, Governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat. His vizier Phra Palad was sent to oversee this task to ensure a regular supply of elephants. Supporters followed his steps and the community started growing, expanding to boroughs such as Pakasai, Khlong Pon and Pak Lao.
The first Governor of Krabi Town was Luang Thep Sena. However, the management was revamped in 1875. Krabi was then raised to a Fourth Level Town and the Governorship got abolished.
The place is a highly sought after destination for island lovers and beach worshipers. A lot of national parks have been set up with some top destinations being Hat Noppharat Thara, Ao Nang, Railey etc. Scuba Divers, Kayaking Enthusiasts, Snorkelers and Day Trippers find their match in Phuket. This happens to be a holiday paradise not that far away from Krabi.
Nightlife in this part of Thailand is one of the most exciting and adrenaline gushing of all. Malls, Casinos, Motels, Eating Joints, Bars, Pubs etc. are certain common sites which people frequent and the noise seldom diffuses. One can groove to some typical Caribbean Tracks along with other tracks being played of artists from everywhere.
The factors that make nightlife better are the local bands. They play in almost every restaurant and play different tracks, suiting different interests and sensibilities. Internationally recognized bands stop over for concerts every holiday season. That again becomes a huge star attraction.
The coastal food is amazing. The eating joints set up open barbeques and grill fish, chicken and other delicacies. Beer is served as routine beverage with snacks. Various other alcohol forms are available a well.
Bangles, local handicrafts, beads, necklaces, sea findings, utensils, shells, oysters, baskets, drums etc. are some of the most cherished purchases. All of these have a mystical appeal about them which drives customers toward a purchase. They love to splurge on all these invaluable souvenirs for they serve as memory for a lifetime.
Visit the town for it happens to have all the ingredients of a wonderful vacation spot. The food, history, nightlife, locales and most importantly, the beaches are all good enough to make you spend at least a week exploring everything. You delight from being at the place where nature leaves you besotted with its marvel, a far cry from the cacophony that reverberates in routine life.
