"Sword" Coastal Province in Thailand???

Krabi, this coastal province covers an area of 4,709 square kilometres and is located 814km, south of Bangkok. Krabi's major attractions are located largely along its extensive coastline, which contains several well-known beaches and bays, and numerous offshore tropical islands.

It is believed that Krabi was one of the oldest communities in Thailand dating from the prehistoric period. Krabi was once the town of Ban Thai Samo, one of 12 royal cities that used a monkey as the town symbol. Another legend indicates that the town may have taken its name after the meaning of Krabi, which means sword. This was stemmed from a legend that says an ancient sword was unearthed prior to the city's founding. Later, the sword became a symbol of Krabi.

In my next post, i will post my trip to Krabi with two of my best gal friends.
