The Tiger Cave Temple or Wat Tham Sua is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the province. Legend has it that a tiger once made the main cave his home, and hence there are still tiger footprints on the floor of the lower temple which is surrounded by mountains and a rich tropical forest. Climb up 1,272 steps to see the “footprint of the Buddha”, the main highlight of the temple. Be sure to also bring along some bananas for the cheeky monkey occupants that swing around the temple.

Khao Ngon Nak, or the Dragon Crest Mountain provides you with a view that is 565 metres above sea level; one of the best panoramic views in the area, as well as hands down the best opportunity for an aesthetic photo. However, in order to get to the top, brace yourself for a 3.7km trek that goes through a very steep terrain. Wear good shoes, and remember to bring a lot of water because it gets pretty rough heading up. Don’t give up, for the scenic landscape and photogenic cliff ledge definitely makes up for it!

Elephants have been a significant part of Krabi’s history far before tourism ever was. In the past, elephants were used like modern tractors in some inaccessible places to help drag logs and wild elephants would be caught here and sent to Bangkok or the east coast to work. Experience how delicate these massive creatures are as you embark on a one-in-a-lifetime trek on an elephant’s back! Most of the elephants used on the tours are aged between 20-40 years old and are extremely comfortable with humans around them, so it is really very safe!

Editor’s Note: Although elephant rides are available in Krabi, Trip101 strongly advocate against elephant rides.

Elephant rides can cause long-term harm as their spines are not made to support the weight of humans

Elephants are often orphaned, mistreated and kept in ill conditions. Please try to avoid taking elephant rides as it is actually harmful to these majestic animals.

Located inside the Khao Khanap Nam are several magnificent caves with impressive clusters of stalactites and stalagmites, a mesmerising sight.

Nature lovers would be thrilled to get the chance to explore the three caves in the mangroves - Tham Phi Hua Toh, Tham Lod Neua, and Tham Lod Tai.

For example, the Tham Lod Tai is a long narrow limestone tunnel with stalactites and stalagmites which is best visited by a long-tail boat at low tide. Apart from that, the Phi Hua To is large cave which was used as a burial site 3,000 years back.

29. Hidden Lagoon: Holy Princess Pool


As dainty and gentle as this hidden lagoon sounds, we are sorry to say that the Holy Princess Pool is the complete opposite of what you think it is. This hidden spot is difficult to reach - and tidal, so ensure that it is at high tide when you start to climb. If you are fit and young, we give you the green light to give it a try, but be sure to dress appropriately as it can get pretty muddy. You will have to climb up muddy slopes then down a rocky ravine. The mud is slippery and there’s more scrambling than climbing involved so think twice about it after rain. Once you reach it you will find a pool surrounded by sheer cliffs; some find it beautiful, but most find it a little disappointing after that tiring 45 minutes climb up.

Holy Princess Pool

Address: Railay Beach, Krabi, Thailand

Price: free admission for all

Opening Hours: open 24/7, early morning visits are recommended

A classic traveller’s spot which has played a large part in Krabi’s history of tourism, May & Mark’s was opened in 1990 and named after their children. May & Mark used to serve curry and rice, but as the number of foreign visitors started to increase, they have widened their spread of dishes and learnt how to bake bread and cook ‘farang’ food (taught to them by passing-through travellers). Now, there are two branches of May & Mark in Krabi and both serve similar food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The ambience is pretty quiet and calm, which proves to be a good spot for chilling. It serves several cuisines, such as French, Italian, Thai, Mexican and Indian - a hearty spread for any foreign traveller.
