Krabi Attractions
1 Khao Khanap NamClose to the city, these two limestone hills have very interesting caves with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Towering over the Krabi River, they are the symbol of the province. This area is surrounded by mangrove forests where there are many bird species including a giant brown bird with yellow pointed pincers, green legs and a long neck called the fin foot. 2 Susan Hoi or Shell Fossil BeachMillions of years ago, this area was a fresh water swamp teeming with pond snails. There are now fossilized in concrete-like fragmented sheets on the sea shore. It is possibly only one of three such geological formations in the world and the only one in a seaside location. 20km. from downtown, open 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
3 Noppharat Thara BeachThis is the most accessible beach if you're staying in Krabi Town. During low tide you can walk to Khao Pak Khlong Island. 18 km. from Downtown Krabi. See Noppharat Thara Beach page.4 Koh Phi Phi Islands and Maya BaySpectacular islands. This has been the location for movies like "The Beach" in Maya Bay. Ko Phi Phi Le is a National Park, and there are no accommodations. There are accommodations on Ko Phi Phi Don. See Ko Phi Phi and Maya Bay page.5 Hong IslandThese islands are popular for ecotourism adventurers, especially kayakers who explore the lush mangrove forests. White sandy beaches, limestone walls and secluded lagoons. Wildlife includes the crab-eating macaque monkeys. The most frequented islands in this archipelago are Lao Pi Lae and Hong Island, named after its internal lagoon accessible by a narrow passage resembling a room which in Thai is "hong".
6 Lanta Islands National ParkThe park covers the islands of Ngai, Rok, Ha and Lanta. Over the last few years, this area has become one of the most desirable resort destinations in Thailand.
