Must see in Krabi

Krabi's Absolute Essentials

Krabi’s landscape is defined by dramatic limestone karsts and the Andaman Sea’s turquoise waters. This collection spans the white sands of Railay and Phra Nang Beach to the inland rainforests housing the Emerald Pool and geothermal Hot Stream Waterfall. Cultural landmarks include the hilltop Tiger Cave Temple, reached by a 1,237-step climb, and the white-walled Wat Kaew Korawaram. For nature enthusiasts, the list features the 75-million-year-old gastropod fossils at Fossil Shell Beach and the diverse marine life surrounding the Phi Phi Islands and Ao Nang Bay.
