กม. 0 - Krabi Nok Awk Monument

4.4(70 reviews)

Standing at the symbolic starting point of Krabi's road system, the Krabi Nok Awk Monument — commonly known as กม. 0 — marks kilometre zero for the province and serves as both a civic landmark and a point of cultural pride for the local community. The monument is situated in the Pak Nam area of Mueang Krabi District, placing it within easy reach of the town centre and the Krabi River waterfront. Visitors can expect a modest but meaningful stop that offers a sense of place and orientation within the province. The surrounding area reflects everyday life in Krabi town rather than a polished tourist attraction, making it an honest and grounding experience for those interested in the character of the region beyond its beaches and resorts. The monument itself is accessible at any hour, with the site listed as open around the clock. This is best treated as a brief stop rather than a standalone destination — ideal for travellers passing through Krabi town who enjoy collecting landmark moments or documenting their journey through the province. It pairs well with a walk along the nearby Krabi River or a visit to the local riverside market. No entrance fee or booking is required, and there are no specific dress requirements given the open-air public nature of the site.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
