All coastal towns offer seafood, and Krabi is no exception, with a multitude of seafood restaurants vying for the attention of tourists. In fact, a street lined with these establishments is entirely devoted to seafood. However, it’s important to note that not all restaurants will meet your expectations.

To avoid any unpleasant experiences with overcooked, rubbery or dried-out shellfish, as well as possible food-borne illnesses, we present our compilation of the best seafood restaurants in Krabi.
