Location
Krabi is a southern province on Thailand's Andaman seaboard with perhaps the country's oldest history of continued settlement. After dating stone tools, ancient colored 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. 1200 A.D., Krabi was tributary to the Kingdom of Ligor, a city on the Kra Peninsula's east coast better known today as Nakhon Si Thammarat.
History
At the start of the Rattanakosin period, about 200 years ago, when the capital was finally settled at Bangkok, an elephant kraal was established in Krabi by order of Chao Phraya Nakorn (Noi), the governor of Nakhon Si Thammarat, which was by then a part of the Thai Kingdom. He sent his vizier, the Phra Palad, to oversee this task, which was to ensure a regular supply of elephants for the larger town. So followers many emigrated in the steps of the Phra Palad that soon Krabi had a large community in three different boroughs : Pakasai, Khlong Pon, and Pak Lao. In 1872, King Chulalongkorn graciously elevated these to town status, called Krabi, a word that preserves in its meaning the monkey symbolism of the old standard. The town's first governor was Luang Thep Sena, though it continued a while as a dependency of Nakhon Si Thammarat. This was changed in 1875, when Krabi was raised to a fourth-level town in the old system of Thai government. Administrators then reported directly to the central government in Bangkok, and Krabi's history as a unique entity separated from the other provinces, had begun.

Politics
During the present reign, the corps of civil servants, the merchants, and the population generally of Krabi and nearby provinces have together organized construction of a royal residence at Laem Hang Nak Cape for presentation to His Majesty the King. This lies thirty kilometers to the west of Krabi Town on the Andaman coast.
Traffic
Since 1999 the town is served by the Krabi Airport west of the town. Passing through the town is Phetkasem highway (Thai highway 4).
Many tourists only travel through Krabi town to go to the more popular locations nearby, like Ko Phi Phi, Railay Beach, Ao Nang, Had Yau, Ko Jum, Phuket and Ko Lanta.

Perkara yg menakutkan kami semua... 31 Ogos 2008, Krabi International Airport masih di tutup untuk semua penerbangan. Pihak Polis Tentera Thai mengawal laluan masuk & keluar lapangan terbang. (berani shoot guna compact jerr time nih)

Akhirnya... kami terpaksa pulang ke Malaysia dengan menaiki bas. Jika perjalanan dengan kapalterbang mengambil masa kira - kira 1jam 20minit... tetapi perjalanan dengan menggunakan laluan darat dengan menaiki bas mengambil masa kira - kira 10jam untuk sampai ke sempadan Malaysia - Thailand di Padang Besar. Perjalanan kami melalui bandar Hat Yai dan jugak Danok sebelum sampai ke imigresen Padang Besar.
Bandar Hat Yai... bosan jerr masa siang nih...

Hati & perasaan tak tenang lagi sehinggalah kami sampai ke Imigresen Bukit Kayu Hitam. Alhamdulillah... selamat sampai ke Malaysia.

Perjalanan menaiki bas dari Bukit Kayu Hitam dengan menaiki bas mengambil masa kira - kira 8jam sebelum sampai ke Kuala Lumpur. Banyak berhenti - henti.
Kita semua sedia maklum bahawa negara Thailand adalah sebuah negara yang tidak pernah di jajah oleh mana - mana kuasa besar dunia. Semasa lawatan, tiada langsung kesan - kesan peninggalan perang di tunjukkan kepada kami semua. Walaubagaimanapun... kemakmuran & kestabilan politik sesebuah negara amat penting.
Tanpa kestabilan politik, tidak mungkin sesebuah negara akan mencapai kemakmuran & kedudukan ekonomi yang kukuh. Aku tidak bernasib baik untuk mengambil gambar ketika berlakunya demonstrasi jalanan di hadapan lapangan terbang Krabi disebabkan pada ketika itu sedang berseronok 'skodeng' di pulau - pulau. Berita lapangan terbang ditutup juga hanya setelah pulang ke hotel melalui sms yang dikirimkan oleh kawan - kawan di Malaysia. Gambar demonstrasi jalanan hanya aku lihat melalui kamera seorang kawan yang juga dari Malaysia ketika beliau berada di lapangan terbang sebelum dimaklumkan mengenai pembatalan penerbangan ke Malaysia & ke semua destinasi. Terok wooooo......
Menyedari hal ini, aku amat bersyukur berada & menjadi warganegara Malaysia. Undang - undang negara kita walaupun pernah diperkatakan & diperlekehkan oleh sesetengah pihak yang konon nyerr terlalu bersikap berat sebelah... adalah amat tidak benar. Cuba bayangkan jika Akta ISA dihapuskan... sudah pasti lah demonstrasi jalanan berlaku sewenang - wenang tanpa undang - undang untuk mengawalnya. Hasutan & fitnah akan berleluasa. Sedangkan sekarang... akta ini berkuasa pon... perkara ini terjadi... bayangkan jika tiada,,,,,
