About Krabi
Krabi offers a laid-back beach lifestyle with affordable living costs and a growing digital nomad community, though internet reliability can be inconsistent outside the main town and Ao Nang area. The combination of stunning limestone cliffs, island access, and casual vibe makes it ideal for work-life balance seekers, but limited walkability outside the center and seasonal weather (heavy monsoons June-October) require careful planning. Healthcare quality is good but language barriers and slower pace than Bangkok may feel isolating for some foreigners.
