Diamond Cave - Krabi
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.
You can walk to the Diamond Cave from West and East Railay beaches, just follow the signs toward the limestone cliffs. There is a small entrance which goes to the Phi Phi National Park who own and maintain the cave.
There is lighting and a wooden walkway so all the family can explore this sparkling ancient cave.
Things to do:
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.
