Krabi is not just another coastal resort. From a shrine with curious offerings to a ‘tiger’ cave of Buddha relics, this Thai province definitely offers more than meets the eye.
ONCE upon a time, a beautiful princess and her prince were sailing on a ship to Satun, one of the southern provinces of Thailand, to get married. However, their journey was disrupted when a naga (dragon) attacked them. The prince fought the monster in vain. Their ship was split into two and the princess drifted on a plank to a beach – now known as Railay Beach, in Krabi.
