The Krabi region, just a 3-hour road trip from Phuket, is rapidly opening up as a new and exciting tourist and residential destination. Krabi has its own airport, making access an easy one hour flight from Bangkok.

The area between the main highway linking Phuket and Krabi and the bay is crisscrossed with back roads through some amazingly beautiful country. Vertical limestone mountains rise from plantation and mangrove forests. There are cave temples and villages and colored springs to view. This is a delightful area to live or for tourists to explore by car or bike.

Krabi Town is the center of this delightful area. Krabi is becoming as famous as Phuket these days and it is developing rapidly. There are many resorts along the coast, some in secluded locations. One can get here from Phuket by road or boat..

Koh Lanta is the largest island in Krabi province, and resorts are springing up on the west coast.

Prices for property in this area are still very reasonable, so if you are looking for an investment in the future, this is one of the best places to put your money.
