Getting around

Songthaews are the workhorse for getting around Krabi town and the beach strips, and they can be flagged down along the main roads or hired privately. For island hopping to Railay Beach, Ko Poda, and Ko Hong, catch a longtail boat from Ao Nang or Krabi pier, with shared boats running frequently through the day. Grab works well across the area and is reliable for airport runs or longer hops, with fares starting around $0.80 per kilometer. Between cities, use a taxi or songthaew, roughly 30 to 40 minutes per leg, and for Tiger Cave Temple or Emerald Pool, a hired songthaew or Grab is easiest. Taxis are best for the 40-minute transfer to the next city, while walking is best within Krabi town and around the local market. Motorbike rentals are convenient for Klong Thom Hot Springs if you are comfortable on two wheels.

Must-try traditional foods & drinks

What to order in Krabi, Thailand, with a fun fact for each

Traditional Savory Dishes

Tom Yum

Tom Yum in Krabi often features the freshest local seafood, and its signature sour, spicy, and herbal harmony comes from bruised lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves added at the last moment.

Pad Thai

Pad Thai became a national symbol in the 1930s, and Krabi cooks brighten the dish with smoky wok char and juicy river prawns for a coastal twist.

Massaman curry

Massaman curry reflects Krabi’s trading history, blending Indian spices like cinnamon and cardamom with Thai coconut milk, producing a gently spiced, slightly sweet curry that pairs beautifully with beef or local jackfruit.

Traditional Sweet Dishes

Mango sticky rice

In Krabi, mango sticky rice is often made with fragrant Nam Dok Mai mangoes, their floral sweetness pairing perfectly with creamy coconut-scented sticky rice and sometimes a sprinkle of toasted mung beans for crunch.

Khanom krok

Khanom krok are little coconut rice pancakes cooked in a cast-iron pan until edges are crisp and centers are pillowy soft, and street vendors in Krabi serve them hot so the coconut custard melts in your mouth.

Thong yip

Thong yip, the golden flower dessert, was born in the royal kitchens and its name means 'to pick up gold', so Krabi families serve it at celebrations to wish wealth and good fortune.

Traditional Beverages

Thai iced tea

Thai iced tea in Krabi is brewed extra strong, sweetened, and poured over ice with condensed milk, creating a creamy, bright orange drink that cools and comforts in tropical heat.

Coconut water

Fresh coconut water sold along Krabi’s beaches is more than a refreshing sip, it was a traditional natural electrolyte for fishermen after a long day at sea and is often drunk straight from the husk.

Cha yen (iced tea)

Cha yen, the classic Thai iced tea, is commonly brewed with robust black tea and sometimes star anise or tamarind, then mixed with milk for a spiced, velvety drink popular at Krabi markets.
