Trekking in Krabi

Spend a morning taking a leisurely walk up by the Tonsai waterfall, or, if you want to spend the day walking in the quiet majesty of a tropical forest, there's an eight-kilometre trek right through the park from Bang Pae waterfall to Ton Sai.

Guides are available at the park, and for 8 kilometres definitely advisable! Much of the forest's wildlife tends to stay out of sight, but stay still for a while and your guide will point out the telltale sounds of all sorts of animals. If you're lucky, you may even see some of the forest's unusual creatures. A small museum and information centre is located near the bottom of the waterfall.

To get there, take Route 4027 east from the Heroines' Monument for about 7 km. The entrance is clearly marked at the left. Note that all national parks in Thailand charge foreigners

Lies about 20 kilometers from Krabi Town. It is composed mainly of virgin forest growing amid craggy hills and valleys.

These two hills, roughly 100 meters tall, flank the Krabi River running between them to form a distinctive vista and the town's most prominemt landmark. To visit them, take a longtail boat form Jao Fah Pier; travel time is just 15 minutes. From there take stairs leading up to caves with stalactites and stalagmites. A large number of human skeletons have been found here. It is theorized that they are the remains of people who came and established a home at Kanab Num, but were cut off by an inundation and quickly perished.

They are located at Tambon Kao Kham far from Krabi town 35 kms. On main road Krabi-Aoluk. It is amazing canal where salty and fresh water are met. Kayak and canoe tour are provided for anyone

In the jungle, near an amazing emerald lake, a hot spring water is waiting for you.

The Hot Spring and Hot Waterfall of Klong Thom are wonderful and perfect for soaking in after a long day tour. The minerals and the temperature (37° - 39° C.) of the springs are ideal, for Hydrotherapy Bath. A walk in the wild jungle gives you the opportunity to observe the natural wildlife.

If lucky you will see the rare Pitta Gurney birds through to be extinct until discovered in this small jungle only 15 years ago. This walk leads you to the crystal pool.

There are some fantastic treks around the Railay area. There are the spots that you will hear about, which you will easily find, such as the lagoon, high view point and Diamond cave, and there is the other more interesting stuff which will require a little more effort. Hidden jungle valleys, beautiful caves and lagoons....

The jungle is teaming with noise and color. If you're lucky you may see the monkey tribes mischievously playing in the rainforest canopy. Gibbons, Langours and exotic birds occasionally make guest appearances.

Although it's actually connected to the mainland the spectacular Phra Nang peninsular is effectively isolated from the outside world by towering limestone cliffs and steep jungle valleys.

As you enter this primeval world the riot of smells and sounds that assault your senses will leave you with an unforgettable experience.

This is a pretty well trodden path (Pictures on the right). Half way along the path to Phra Nang beach there is a very steep looking muddy path. You clamber up this and then follow an even steeper path down into the lagoon. Another path at the top branches off to a view point.

Top Tip1- Do not attempt this when it's wet, as the path turns into the mud slide of death

Top Tip2- Best to do this at high tide, as the lagoon is tidal. If you do this walk at low tide you will be rewarded with a pool of mud....

Top Tip3- Best to dress in brand new white clothing so as to provide a suitable canvas for the ubiquitous red mud...

Not much to see in Koh Phi Phi unless you take you take the hike up to view point where you get a fabtastic view over the narrow strip of land joining the two hills that nake ups the islnd and also get eaten alive my largest mosquitoes in SE Asia. Boat trips ca take you round the island or to nearby Phi Phi Leh, home of the sea starlings that provide the nests for the famous chinese bird nest soup.
