Krabi Island, neglected paradise​

Located on the west coast of the peninsula in southern of Thailand, Krabi has 2 famous locations: Krabi Town and Ao Nang and 130 bigger and smaller islands in the Andaman Sea near Krabi. Visitors usually concentrate more in Ao Nang because it is near to the sea, suitable for traveling.

The town of Krabi is not very attractive for tourists. There are some cheap hotels, but these are rarely used by travelers. The main attractions are the beaches west of the town and of course the islands. There are caves, waterfalls and the Tiger cave temple (Wat Tham Sua) should be must see. From the top of the hill a big golden Buddha oversees the landscape with spectacular views over the town, the river, the limestone mountains and the Andaman Sea.
