Attractions in Krabi |
Railay Beach |
The Beach is considered one of the most spectacular of all the Andaman coastal locations. This idyllic spot is a peninsula that can only be reached by boat, as it’s separated from the mainland by sheer limestone cliffs. A few quiet resorts are situated between the two crescent–shaped beaches. In all, there are a number of beautiful beaches to choose from, but Phra Nang attracts most of the day–trippers as it features an ancient shrine inside a cave. Those who are fit can hike up a steep path to the top of the karst and gaze down into a hidden sinkhole lake in the middle. Open:always Admission: free |
Koh Phi Phi Natural Park |
This famous island group comprising two smallish, tree–covered, rocky islands: Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le. Phi Phi Don is the larger of the two, and is world–famous for its coral formations and spectacular beaches. Comfortable but limited accommodation is available along the island’s two scenic bays, Ton Sai and Loh Dalam. Shops at Ton Sai offer diving and snorkelling trips off Phi Phi Don and around the other islands located nearby, such as Koh Phi Phi Le, Koh Mai Phai and Koh Yung. The ferry to Phi Phi from Krabi Town takes 90 minutes and runs twice daily. The Tsunami wiped out most of the development on the island and not much has been rebuilt leaving it in a more natural state. Open: daily, 08.00 to 17.00 Admission: 400 baht for national park |
Fossil Shell Cemetery (Susan Hoi) |
The Shell Fossil Cemetery is one of Krabi's most popular attractions, consisting of an enormous slab of rock that has been forming for the past 35 million years. Over the millennia, the composite of fossilised shells has grown to a thickness of nearly 16 inches. This archaeological find is located at Ban Laem Pho Cape, only 10 miles from the Krabi Town. |
Wat Khlong Thom Museum |

Unearthed artifacts include stone tools, bronze implements, metal coins, pottery shards, ceramic and stone decorative art and colored beads that are over 5,000 years old.

Viking Cave in Phi Phi Island |
If you are wondering what attracts visitors to Viking Cave, it is usually the profound beauty. There is no beach area on this part of Phi Phi Lei. The island simply juts abruptly into the sea. The actual cave is 3.2 square kilometers large. This Phi Phi Lei cave got it's name from the Viking ship cave drawings on the wall. The inhabitants of Viking Cave create the most amazing feature. Thousands of swallows live on top of the 15 meter high ledges. The collecting of the bird's nests is a regular demonstration on guided tours. |
Maya Bay |
The Maya Bay in the Phi Phi Islands is shallow with crystal clear water and splendid coral formations. Both novice and experienced divers are drawn to Maya Bay, because of its abundant rock formation that drops to a depth of 18 meters; and just outside the bay - the 30 meter wall dive with caves, valleys and swim-throughs made by underwater rock formations. Snorkeling is also popular in Maya Bay. The visibility is unlimited in gentle waters, and the experience is nothing short of magnificent. It is said that Maya Bay has the most stunning beach in Phi Phi, and embraces luxury with the fragrance of orange jasmines lacing the wealthy rural Maya Bay Thai village nestled in the bay |
