Inga Freise Stahle loves to travel, and one of her favorite destinations is Krabi. “Krabi is in the south of Thailand on the Andaman seaboard,” she explains. “One of the most interesting things about Krabi is that it is incredibly historical. It is the Thailand’s oldest town in terms of continual settlement. Officials have dated tools, pictures, pottery and human remains and determined that Krabi has been home to humans since 25,000 B.C.,” Inga Freise Stahle says.
However, Krabi is a fascinating place for more reasons other than its extremely long history. “There are so many activities for travelers,” reports Inga Freise Stahle. “There is a bicycling tour, rock climbing, snorkeling, and scuba diving,” she announces. But activities aside, simply sightseeing is an adventure. “There are amazing limestone peaks, the water is beautiful and azure and the sunsets over the tropical islands are spectacular,” adds Inga Freise Stahle.
Facing the Andaman sea, Krabi has a 6-month rainy season, Inga Freise Stahle warns. “So the best time to go to Krabi is from December to April.” Throughout Krabi there are many national parks, including Hat Noppharat Thara, Ao Nang, Railay, Ko Phi Phi. Inga Freise Stahle also enjoys visiting the island of Ko Lanta Yai, which is the park headquarters. Ko Lanta Ya is home to Chao Le, the gypsies of the sea who sustain themselves on fish.
Inga Freise Stahle recommends that travelers to interior Krabi visit the Khao Phanom Bencha and Than Bokk-horani national parks, which have stunning waterfalls and caves. Also, they are excellent places for hiking, bird watching and they offer eco-tours as well, confirms Inga Freise Stahle.
Inga Freise Stahle suggests several ways for tourists to get around the area. “There are public pick-up vehicles, knows as Songthaew which are common in Krabi,” she explains. “There are also air-conditioned and non-air conditioned buses and there are also trains,” says Inga Freise Stahle. “Also, if you go snorkeling in Krabi you will some amazing coral reefs,” Inga Freise Stahle concludes. “It’s worth the trip for that alone.”
