Ao Nang is the place where people flock to sample Krabi street food and buy local souvenirs and kitschy items.

Exchanging Money in Krabi

Ao Nang and Koh Lanta have a lot of options for those looking for currency exchange services in Krabi. Krabi International Airport also has an exchange booth. Do not buy Thai Baht outside Thailand as the rates are much cheaper within the country.

Thai is spoken in Krabi. You may find rudimentary English being spoken by street vendors although tour operators will be well-versed in it. Do carry a dictionary with you wherever you go.

Restaurants and Local Food in Krabi

Food in Krabi is diverse and finger licking good. Try the Green Mango Salad when strolling through a market. Some other popular dishes to try are Black Grass Jelly or shaved ice desserts and the coconut pudding you get at stalls. If you are a vegetarian and don't eat eggs, you will have to take special care as eggs are considered vegetarian in Thailand.
