Thais are well known for their passion for food. To keep up with this tradition, Krabi has a host of eateries and restaurants, serving diverse menus in different atmospheres. One thing is for sure – no tourist will complain that he/she had to go hungry while visiting Thailand. Food is sold from roadside eateries and pushcart eateries to motorcycle food stalls, outdoor cafés, and fancy high-end restaurants.

For the best selection of restaurants in Krabi, Ao Nang tops the list with more than 50 good restaurants. Both food and service are excellent here and the pricing is also reasonable.

In most of the restaurants in Krabi, Thai cuisine is the main offering. This is no wonder as many tourists come to Thailand to taste authentic Thai cuisine. If you have already tried Thai food outside Thailand or tried cooking them at home, you will find the difference in taste and flavor immediately. The proportion, mixing and freshness of herbs and spices used in the dishes makes all the difference.

The Southern Thai cuisine is strongly influenced by Malaysian and Indian cuisines and there are more curries in this menu. Here is a list of must-try dishes while in Thailand. Massaman is a curry with sweet potatoes and peanuts as ingredients. Kaeng Som is a hot and sour fish curry in tamarind sauce. Khanom Jin is a mildly spiced noodle dish. Khao Mok Gai is Chicken biriyani made by Thai Muslims.

If hot and spicy does not suit your palate, there is a choice of restaurants serving International and western cuisines. These are located mostly in the tourist spots, run by expats. Here the food is usually good and bona fide. In Krabi, you get to taste German, French, Swedish, Swiss, Danish, Japanese, Chinese and Indian cuisines. Pizza joints are very popular and aplenty. There is even British pub food available here.

As all over Thailand, Krabi is famous for its seafood. In most beaches, roadside eateries and small restaurants dotting the beach serve fresh seafood and display the catch of the day. All kinds of seafood – crabs, oysters, lobsters, squids, shellfish, langoustines and innumerable variety of fishes – are available in Krabi. They are either grilled and served in mouth-watering sauce or cooked in yummy gravies. In either case, the opportunity is not to be missed.
