About the Your Krabi guidebook
Your Krabi is the first ever guidebook dedicated to Krabi Province in Thailand. It offers a wealth of insider information about places to stay, tourist attractions and actitivies, local food and culture, as well as a business directory listing hotels, shops and services of use to tourists and expats.
The guide is in full colour, with more than 400 colour photographs and detailed maps in Thai and English. But it doesn't just look good! It is packed with practical information that will help you plan the logistics of your holiday, and also be of use when you are here.
You can pick up a copy of Your Krabi in numerous hotels, bars and shops around the area. The information desk at Krabi Airport also has the guidebook in stock. If you are unable to find a copy, you can email us at guidebook at yourkrabi dot com and we will have one delivered to your hotel at no extra charge (mainland Krabi only). If you prefer to buy before you fly, you can of course order a copy from us directly, using the form below.
"I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the guidebook.
It's full of useful facts and opinions and it has really helped me in
deciding where I want to stay and what to see when I visit in September."
Shane Brown, Australia
"Thank you for your Guide Book received safely today Tuesday 29 Jan. An excellent read very informative. Looking forward
to our visit."
Malcolm Hamilton, UK
"I received your guidebook yesterday and read quite a lot of it last night. I have to say that I found it to be a very well written and most interesting book, full of very practical information and viewpoints. I do not usually find so much useful information in a guidebook. I organise large conferences around the world for my international firm and strive to give my delegates as much information as possible, so I appreciate the amount of detail that you have included in the book."
Sarah Skeels-Smith, UK
"Am just letting you know that the book arrived today, thank you. It looks
very comprehensive & makes a welcome change from the more bland descriptions
in the Lonely Planet & Rough Guides that I have."
Zelda Tolley, UK
"Just to let you know how impressed I am with the Krabi guidebook. There's so much useful information that I feel I know Krabi well already."
K. Tong, UK
"Don’t buy Seema Prabhu’s guide book if you’re not planning to spend more than two days in Krabi. She didn’t write it for you. Your Krabi is not just another ‘Lonely Planet’ or ‘Guide du routard’. To start with it’s got much more pictures – at least three for each place. So you really know what you’re in for before you start booking your hotels. So you have something to take back with you when you leave. Your Krabi is also different because it’s written by a foreigner –who knows what a tourist likes – but one who lives there. That’s how she can guide you safely off the beaten tracks, because no guidebook writer zooming through in two weeks – as they do – could possibly do that. Of course, if you just want to pick your beach and island, you can do that as well. But if you want to explore southern Thailand, get a taste of Thai food without too much damage, in short ‘experience a different community and way of life, not only get a sun tan’, as Prabhu puts it, then is the guide you need."
Angeline Benoit, Economy & Finance Editor, 20 minutes (France).
"I recieved the guidebook today. Thank you very much, it is fantastic, so full of information and pictures. It's perfect for our honeymoon trip to Krabi and Koh Lanta in May."
Jasmine W, Germany
"Just received the guidebook in our grey, dreary flooded Irish town. It looks fantastic, congratulations to you and your team. Good size too."
Jacqui St.John-Jones, Ireland
I have read and own several books about Thailand and especially the south part, but this one is the best! You can see it's written by a local. And so many nice photos. You have for sure made a great job!
Gun-Marie Svärd, Sweden
"Great, now I don't have to lug around the Lonely Planet!"

New guide to the No 1 destination
Now that Krabi has become the Kingdom's fastest growing holiday destination, the publication of the first guidebook in English devoted to the southern province is well-timed.
The lavishly illustrated "Your Krabi" does more than prove why Krabi is easily one of the Kingdom's most photogenic provinces.
The book covers a lot of ground in easy-to-digest, fully cross-referenced chapters, showing that there is a surprising amount to do and see - beyond the beaches in particular.
Written by Seema Prabhu, a Krabi resident and editor of the local tourist magazine, Flyer, the guide presents every aspect of the province so that readers can choose for themselves which areas, attractions and activities would be suitable for their needs and interests.
The book guides readers to where the Hollywood crowd hangs out, along routes through the provinces lush interior and through menus of southern street food.
"Your Krabi" is available at most bookshops in Krabi and Phuket and online at www.yourkrabi.com for Bt390
FLYER is the monthly print magazine for Krabi Province. As well as features, you'll find restaurant reviews, maps, transport schedules and other resources to help you make the most of your stay. Pick up your free copy when you arrive at the airport, or ask for it in your hotel.
