Things to do
The Krabi province is a popular area for rock climbing, in particular the limestone cliffs which provide stunning views both inland and out across the Andaman Sea. Another attraction high on visitor's list of thing to do is to explore one or some of the many islands to be found along the coastline, the most famous of which are the beautiful Phi Phi Islands.
Other activities include jungle tours, elephant treks, river rafting, a visit to a hot spring or/and waterfall, diving and a unique 18-hole golf course nestled amongst the lush green forest.
There are around 20 temples in the Krabi province the most famous of which is Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple), the temple is built into a limestone cave and a walk up some 1200 steps rewards you with a sitting gilded Buddha statue along with amazing views.
Out and about
Krabi Town is the charming riverside provincial capital and easily reached wherever you're staying in the area, with several options for transport available from open-air buses to converted trucks (songtaews) and tuk-tuks to longtail boat taxis.
The most popular resort along the Krabi coastline is Ao Nang, where a number of accommodation options, tourist shops, spas and restaurants can be found along with a selection of relaxed bars and a couple of nightclubs.
