Obverse:

The seal of the province shows two ancient crossed swords (krabi is a word for an ancient Siamese sword) in front of the Indian Ocean and Khao Phanom Bencha mountain.

Reverse:
The name Phi Phi originates from Malay. The original name for the islands was Pulau Api-Api 'the fiery isle'. The name refers to the Pokok Api-Api, or "fiery tree" (grey mangrove) which is found on the islands.
