Krabi Walking Tour

Krabi, Thailand

Why Walk Krabi

Krabi province offers some of Thailand's most spectacular natural walking experiences. Railay Beach, accessible only by boat, is surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs popular with rock climbers, with a lagoon viewpoint reached by a jungle trail. Ao Nang is the main resort town with a beachfront promenade, night market, and boat connections to the islands. The Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) challenges walkers with 1,237 steps to a summit shrine with 360-degree views over karst peaks and coastline. The Emerald Pool and Hot Spring Waterfall in Khlong Thom offer magical walking experiences through lowland rainforest to a crystal-clear natural swimming pool. Krabi Town itself is a pleasant small city with a weekend walking street market along the riverfront. The mangrove forests and sea kayaking through Ao Thalane's limestone channels add water-based walking alternatives.
