Introduction
:  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 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. 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.
