Krabi

Krabi, a coastal city in southern Thailand, serves as the capital of Krabi Province. Situated where the Krabi River meets Phang Nga Bay, it’s a strategic base for exploring the region – approximately 650 km south of Bangkok. With a local population of around 32,644 (as of 2020), Krabi offers a more laid-back atmosphere than some of Thailand’s larger tourist hubs.

The city’s economy is heavily influenced by tourism, but it retains a strong local character. Krabi is known for its stunning limestone cliffs, mangrove forests, and access to world-class beaches and islands. It’s a popular choice for those seeking outdoor activities like rock climbing, kayaking, and diving, alongside a growing digital nomad community attracted by the affordable cost of living and reliable internet access.
