From archaeological discoveries, it is believed that Krabi was one of the oldest communities in Thailand dating back to the prehistoric period.it has many cliffs and caves where ancient color paintings, stone tools, beads, pottery, and skeletal remains have been found. It is believed that Krabi has been home to homosapiens since the period 25,000- 35,000 B.C. It is believed that this town may have taken its name after the meaning of “Krabi”, which means "sword" during 1872 by King Rama V. This may have stemmed from a legend that an ancient sword was unearthed prior to the city’s founding.
