Evidence of human habitation in the area of Krabi Province goes back as far as 35,000 BC, based on discovery of human remains there. Documented history goes back to the 13th century, when the Kingdom of Ligor was established. In more recent history, Krabi was part of Nakhon Si Thammarat until 1875, when the province was created. The provincial capital was initially at Ban Talad Kao, but was relocated to the mouth of the Krabi River in 1900.

Krabi Province is noted for its karst landscape, with numerous limestone outcrops on land and in the form of islets in the sea. Perhaps the most famous tourist attractions are the islands of Phi Phi and Ko Lanta.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
