Start the trip with a visit to Railay Beach West. The clear water and stunning limestone cliffs make for a picturesque view and a perfect spot to take pictures. You can also indulge in a variety of water sports like kayaking, rock climbing, and snorkelling.
Next, climb 1,237 steps at Tiger Cave Temple to reach the top of the hill and enjoy panoramic views of Krabi. The temple has many shrines and statues, including a golden Buddha. Dress modestly for the temple visit.
Take a dip in Emerald Pool, a natural spring pond surrounded by dense forest. The crystal-clear water is a unique shade of green due to the mineral deposits, and it is said to have a healing effect on the body.
Enjoy the white sand beaches and clear waters at Hong Island. You can also go for snorkelling, swimming and kayaking. Take a tour of the nearby caves and lagoon, or just relax on the beaches of the island.
End your trip by exploring Krabi Night Market, also known as Chao Fah Night Market. You can feast on Thai street food like Pad Thai and Tom Yum, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy live music performances.
If you have extra time, visit the Krabi Hot Springs to soothe your muscles or explore the caves at Phra Nang Beach. For those with a shorter trip, you can choose to skip Hong Island or Emerald Pool. Remember to carry a swimsuit, sunscreen, and enough cash for the night market. Additionally, be cautious while visiting Tiger Cave Temple, as you need to climb many steps to reach the top.
