Under coach Ittiphol Pimvong the team have lost six, drawn one and won one of their Thai League 3 Southern Zone fixtures so far this season. Rumours of financial instability surround the club. However, their impressive 4-0 victory against Satun in their last home game suggests they might be more of a challenge than some PAFC fans expect.
The team are nicknamed ‘The Andaman Eagles,’ based on the city’s emblem, which can be seen everywhere in the town. But there is also a huge bronze crab which would have also been a good choice.
This fixture really is the perfect away trip for any Phuket fan. Krabi Town, a two-hour drive south of Phuket, offers a more relaxed alternative to its bustling neighbour.
Situated where the Krabi River flows into the Phang Nga estuary, Krabi Town boasts a charming atmosphere. Explore the delightful old town with its classic architecture and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the picturesque riverside promenade.
For a taste of local life, head to the vibrant night market and soak up the atmosphere. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the Krabi Contemporary Art Museum, while those seeking a spiritual experience can visit the nearby Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua).
