Wat Tham Seua – Tiger Cave Temple

Tucked away in ancient forest, Wat Tham Seua is a natural wonder. The temple consists of dozens of natural caves at the foot of a sheer limestone cliff. Established in the 1970's, a monk named the Temple after a tiger entered the cave where he was meditating. Legend says the tiger left the cave without harming the monk. It is also said there are tiger’s footprints found in the walls of the cave.

Phra Nang Cave

Myths and mystery surround this fascinating and sacred place. Fishermen leave offerings to Phra Nang in the hope of safe sea travel and a bountiful catch. Some leave wooden sculpted phallus in the hope of increasing fertility.

Rock Climbing

The world’s best rock climbers flock to Railay in Krabi Province to conquer the sheer karst limestone cliffs jutting out from the mangroves. The undisputed climbing mecca of Southeast Asia, Railay has over 700 bolted routes that range from beginner to expert. Climbing schools teach all levels, and pretty much all ages. Tour groups cater for singles through to families. This is a rock climber’s paradise.

Wat Kaew Ko Wararam

The striking white temple is one of the largest and most important in Krabi Province. Majestic golden dragons lead up the winding staircase into the impressively painted interior.

Klong Thom Hot Springs (Nam Tok Rawn)

Known as ‘nature’s own Jacuzzi, these natural hot springs contain minerals that are said to be very good for overall health. Popular with tourists and locals alike, the best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon.

Emerald Pool (A Morakot) and Thun Teao National Park

Around 60km from Krabi Town, Thung Teao National Park is a place of outstanding and ancient natural beauty. The Emerald Pool, also known as the crystal pool, is a main attraction, as is the abundant and exotic wildlife.

Diamond Cave

The glistening Diamond Cave sits at the foot of limestone cliffs that separate Railay from the rest of the mainland. Impressive stalactites and stalagmites have formed over millennia in this vast cave, some meeting in places despite the high ceiling.
