Geography

 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 colored 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 c. 25,000–35,000 BCE. 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 CE, Krabi was tributary to the Kingdom of Ligor, a city on the Kra Peninsula's east coast better known today as Nakhon Si Thammarat. --By wikipedia

Foods

 When it comes to eating out in Thailand, the mantra I subscribe to is this: Go to any stall on the street, order anything off the menu – and prepare to be wowed. That’s the kind of faith I have in one of the world’s best food destinations.

 Of course, Tom Yum Goong and green curry are must-eats in Thailand. And Bangkok is the obvious choice to seek out those dishes as it offers special dining experiences. One in particular is at the renowned Joe Louis restaurant at Asiatique The Riverfront. The establishment serves local cuisines while featuring the ancient art of Thai puppetry.

Language

The Southwestern Tai also known as Thai languages are an established branch of the Tai languages of Southeast Asia. They include Siamese (standard Thai), Lao, and Shan in Burma.
