Koh Panyi, a Muslim fishing village in Krabi, Thailand, is uniquely built on stilts over the water. Established in the 18th century, the village features traditional stilt houses and a mosque, reflecting its long-standing cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the floating market, where local life and commerce blend seamlessly with the aquatic setting. As a popular stop on regional tours, Koh Panyi often shares the spotlight with nearby attractions like James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan) and Hong Island, making it a key part of the area’s scenic and cultural tapestry.
