Central Krabi
An open-air shopping village in central Krabi town, blending local shops, international brands, and diverse dining.
Krabi's mall scene is mostly hypermarkets and supermarkets with a cinema or food court bolted on, so don't expect glossy air-con cathedrals. Central Krabi takes the top spot and it's the only one that feels like a proper day out, an open-air village of local shops, brands and places to eat in the town center. The rest cluster around Krabi Town for groceries and air-con.
