The geographical location of Krabi Prefecture

It faces Panya Bay in the west and Andaman Sea in the southwest. The highest point in the whole territory is Phanom Bencha, with an altitude of 65,438+0,397 meters, belonging to the Luo Kun Mountains in Malaya Peninsula. There are 130 offshore islands. Leray Beach and James Bond Rock Island with different shapes in the bay are deeply loved by rock climbers.

The Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004 affected many outlying islands and beaches in Krabi. Although most people think that this place will suffer like other places, it is not necessarily so. For example, the beautiful beaches on the island of Pipile (Koh Phi Phi Ley, the small island of Pipile) escaped because huge rocks blocked the rough waves. Although the beach holiday house village on Koh Phi Phi Don was completely destroyed, many mountain villas and some holiday houses in the secluded harbor in the east survived and continued to operate.

The damage of hotels on the Krabi Coast was unexpectedly small. After only one week, Aonang resumed playing guzheng every night. Koh Lanta Island has a peculiar terrain, and the fine sand on the "beach" is all hard rocks, with little damage, which has been fully recovered within three months.

There are also many limestone mountains in Jiami County, and most of them have limestone caves at the foot. The cave is very cool and rich in bird's nest. Some caves have hundreds of years of Buddha statues for tourists to admire and worship. Wat Thàm Suà outside Krabi is a China-style temple built on a cliff, which is very spectacular.
