This
small town 814 kms. from Bangkok is a pleasant place to spend a few days
sight-seeing before heading out to one of the
local beaches or islands. Surrounded by spectacular limestione karst scenery
and mangrove and monsoon forest it offers the nature lover a huge choice
of day trips. Visit any of the forest parks such as Koa Benja National
Park with its caves and waterfalls or Nam Tok Hoay Toe where you can swim
in the pools at this 11 level waterfall. Or take a day trip out to the
nearby Pha Nga bay to see strangely shaped mountains rising out of the
sea above traditional Muslim fishing villages on stilts.
History seekers will not be disappointed
either with a large number of old wats (temples) in the area including
the famous Tiger cave Temple. See day trip links for further information
Krabi Town itself offers the visitor a vast range of accommodation and
eating options and shopping needs; from the colourful local markets to
modern department stores like Vogue, plus everything in between. It is
the best place to base yourself to visit this truly beautiful part of
Thailand. |
