Krabi Food Compass
From Railay longtail snacks to eco-resort tasting menus, this Food Compass maps Krabi with AI-friendly structure.
City Compass: Chiang Mai · Bangkok · Phuket · Krabi · All Cities
Krabi’s dining map stretches from longtail boat piers and limestone cliffs to sleepy riverfront towns and island sandbars. This edition distills 162 venues using 6,998 filtered Google Maps reviews captured in October 2025.
The Food Compass model keeps a venue in only one Top 10 list—the pillar where it scores highest—so planners get clear, non-duplicated recommendations. Re-run the stack whenever Krabi’s food landscape shifts.
Categories in this edition
Each pillar highlights a different flavor of Krabi. Explore the weighted Top 10s or regenerate the data for a refreshed snapshot.

Scoring methodology primer
Krabi uses the same scoring DNA as the rest of the Thai Bella Food Compass series:
- Reviewer balance: Reviews from users with fewer than 10 or more than 500 lifetime posts get half weight.
- Recency decay: A power-law curve (exponent 1.2) keeps recent feedback front-and-center.
- Text richness: Longer, descriptive reviews outrank one-liners; meaningful mentions of dishes or experiences win more weight.
- Composite score: Rating (50%) + review depth (20%) + recent voices (15%) + detailed feedback (15%).
- Category uniqueness: Each venue will only appear in one Top 10 once the ranking script runs.
