The Best 4 Things in Krabi

1. Wat Tham Seua

This sprawling hill and cave temple complex 9km northwest of Krabi Town is an easy, worthwhile day trip. At the park entrance you'll come to a gruellingly steep 1260-step staircase leading to a 600m karst peak. After a 30- to 40-minute climb, the fit and fearless are rewarded with golden Buddha statues, a gilded stupa and spectacular views out to sea beyond Ao Nang. Start early and bring water; there are drinking taps at the top.
The best of the rest of the grounds can be found by following a loop trail through a little forest valley behind the ridge where the bòht (central sanctuary) is located. Here you'll find several limestone caves hiding Buddha images, statues and altars.
This is a sacred area of worship: please dress appropriately by covering shoulders to knees and avoiding tight outfits.
Motorcycle taxis or túk-túk from Krabi cost 100B. A sŏrng·tăa·ou from Krabi's Th Utarakit is 50B.

2. Khao Khanap Nam

It’s possible to climb one of these two limestone massifs, just north of the town centre. A number of human skeletons were found in the caves here, thought to be the remains of people trapped during an ancient flood. To get here, charter a long-tail boat from Khong Kha pier for about 400B.

3. Wat Kaew Korawaram

While not a must-see sight, this Buddhist temple has some interesting 19th- and 20th-century buildings and a majestic dragon-flanked staircase leading up to it.

4. Koh Hong Island Tour by Speed Boat from Krabi

One of the most beautiful pristine islands of Krabi, Koh Hong is pure paradise. Travel by speedboat from Krabi and enjoy the day exploring Koh Hong Island and Pelay Beach. Enjoy a picnic lunch, swimming and snorkeling.
Also known as Room Island, Koh Hong Island is a perfect escape whilst on holidays. Wonderful desert island location renowned for its breathtaking beauty, shallow coral reefs and fine, sandy beaches. In the middle of the half-circled shaped island lies the secret lagoon, where you can find yourself at one with nature.
