 General
Information
Krabi
has perhaps the country's oldest history
of continued settlement. After dating stone
tools, ancient coloured pictures, beads,
pottery and skeletal remains found in the
province's many cliffs and caves, it is
thought that Krabi has been home to homo
sapiens since the period 25,000-35,000 B.C.
in recorded times it was called the 'Ban
Thai Samor', and was one of twelve towns
that used, before people were widely literate,
the monkey for their standard, At that time,
c. 1,200
A.D., Krabi was tributary
to the kingdom of Ligor, a city on the Kra
Peninsula's east coast better known today
as Nakorn Sri Thammarat.
