Krabi, Thailand is the most hotspot destination in the world that leaves travelers endlessly captivated and enamored. The picturesque scenery has become every avid Instagrammer’s guilty pleasure and is responsible for many of the inspiring travel photos in many feeds.
On that note, the photogenic island has a lot of offer with its long stretch of picture-perfect, white sands, long border of offshore reefs, coastlines lined with palm trees, and hidden spots where you can chase waterfalls in almost every corner. Beyond the picturesque beaches, however, lies a hidden gem at Krabi Town.
Brimming with resorts that provide various activities such as hiking and kayaking, there’s one for every kind of tourist. Every street is colorfully lined with restaurants, each offering different flavors of the small, provincial town. If you’re looking for paradise within reach, go beyond the grid and take a much-needed vacation in these stunning, must-visit spots in Krabi Town:
Must-Visit #1: Khao Ngon Nak – Dragon Crest Mountain
A gem that is considered undiscovered by Krabi’s standards, Khao Ngon Nakl is a hidden relaxation refuge for its neighboring lost souls that goes above and beyond being a kinfolk instagrammable haven. It’s a natural spectacle that can only be reached by exploring a scenic woodland view towards a waterfall.
The best view is if you take up the challenge to hike to the peak of Ngon Nak, where you witness the cascading waterfall and the sky above. You can plunge into this adventure as part of a tour, though you can also hire a car and driver or rent motorbikes. Either way, you’ll find yourself entering the woodland paradise once you reach Amari Vogue Resort.
Must-Visit #2: Tiger Cave Temple – Wat Tham Sua
One of the most eye-catching architectural spectacles in Thailand, Wat Tham Sua is one of Krabi Town’s legendary and most highly regarded temples. The lore behind its name suggests that a tiger used to reside in the biggest cave, which isn’t far-fetched considering the jungle-like setting inside the cave.
The entire landscape is picture-perfect from the temple gate down to different sanctuaries within the complex. Every move feels like taking a step closer to heaven as the temple itself is situated within the highlands of Krabi’s mountain. For Instagrammers who want to take a snap of every corner, there’s no need to worry about choosing the right filter as every shot is beautiful in its raw form in Tiger Cave Temple.
The holes from the cave cast light on the water and the walls, casting a magical glow as the place is sparkling with reflections of multicolored light. The site looks like it came straight off a fantasy world, so be sure to make it real for yourself by testing the clean, spring waters for yourself!
Must-Visit #3: Ao Thalane
If you’re in search of kayaking adventures and want to make the most of your getaway by pumping up your adrenaline, leap over at Ao Thalane as an unforgettable way to boost your heart rate with like-minded thrill-seekers. Not only is it a heart-thumping activity, but venturesome tourists and locals alike swing by this destination hub as it showcases an undisrupted view of a towering limestone karst mountains and a dense mangrove providing a scenic backdrop.
Must-Visit #4: Emerald Pool – Crystal Lagoon
