Krabi, a scenic part of Thailand, has amazing white sandy beaches, limestone crags, forest landscapes, and more than 200 islands dotting its coastline. With so much to witness, here are some top things you can't miss out on!

1

The Rock Climb at the Railay Beach

The Railay beach is accessible only via a boat and it is definitely the place to go if you want to check out Krabi's most popular sport, rock climbing. Visiting Railay Beach for its beautiful natural sceneries and outdoor recreational activities is among the best things to try out here in Krabi, despite the fact that the region is becoming more famous and as a result more crowded. When you land here, you'll see thick dense forests and massive limestone cliffs as well as viewpoints towering above you. This natural aspect transforms the area into a climber's paradise, with a diverse range of climbs ranging from one suited for novices to pros. Railay Beach is one of the most well-known rock climbing destinations in the country, with more than 1000 routes spread across 51 regions. If you are looking for a half-day rock climbing adventure, look no further.

Staying in Ao Nang

Ao Nang is the loveliest tourist town in the area (much nicer than Krabi Town), and it serves as the perfect base camp from where you can discover what this region has to offer you! Staying here in Ao Nang and then taking short trips to famous beaches and islands is a common traveller choice, thanks to the abundance of good restaurants and guesthouses, not to mention long-tailed boats as well as ferries. As is customary in Southeast Asia, there are a plethora of travel agencies that can assist you in planning those incredible day trips in Ao Nang. Things to do here also include checking out some excellent spas, making a stop here one of the most enjoyable ones in Krabi! Besides, you can check out properties like Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort for a good stay in Ao Nang.

Climbing the Tiger Cave Temple

Although there are no tigers anymore, which is obviously for the best, folklore has it that a monk once climbed this hill and discovered tigers wandering in the cave. In reality, a tiger's paw impression can still be witnessed. You have to say, tigers or no tigers, hiking up to the cave is unquestionably an activity you should not miss out on! After climbing the 1,240 stairs, you'll be greeted by a giant golden Buddha statue and breathtaking views from both sides. This cave temple, Wat Tham Suea, is a place of archaeological and historical significance in addition to being a significant meditation spot.

Visitors will enjoy a delightfully calm atmosphere here, and Thung Teao's versatility and tranquillity set it apart from the others.
