Krabi
Wat Kaew Korawaram
One of the main temples in Krabi town. A new building, to some it resembles a shiny white wedding cake.

Krabi.
Places to go. A little room to wander.
THE SHORTLIST
A few places worth your time.
02Culture · DAY 1 IDEA
Krabi
Khao Kanab Nam
The symbol of Krabi, two karst rocks next to one other. A 15-min longtail boat ride takes you from the pier to the rocks, where you can walk up some stairs to the top.

Krabi
Tiger Cave Temple
One of the most famous temples in southern Thailand, built into a mountainside about 3 km north-northeast of Krabi Town, and swathed by tropical forest.
Allow about 90 minutes · planning estimate
A note before you go. Start with Wat Kaew Korawaram, then decide whether Khao Kanab Nam deserves a separate visit rather than rushing both. The suggested days are an editable grouping, not a timed tour. Visit allowances exclude transfers, meals and queues; confirm the exact entrance and current visiting arrangements for Tiger Cave Temple before setting off.
Reference material retrieved 2026-10-19. Suggested days and time allowances are editorial starting points. Check the linked visitor information for opening hours, access, and reservations.
BEFORE YOU SET OFF
A more practical kind of plan.
Getting your bearings
You can use either the songthaew or a taxi. With a songthaew, opposite and a couple of hundred metres up from the pier, opposite the police station, is a songthaew stop at Maharaj Soi 7. Blue ones go to Tesco Lotus and other out of town places: this is on the way to the airport and Tiger Temple. Blue with white/yellow/red stripe go to the airport. To get to and from Ao Nang, in the centre of Krabi town on Maharaj Rd (main road) near the traffic lights where male statues hold them up is the Vogue Department Store.
Build a route that makes sense
Wat Kaew Korawaram and Khao Kanab Nam are about 1.9 km apart in a straight line. Use the route link to compare the actual streets or transport connections before putting both in the same morning; the measurement is not a walking distance or a transfer estimate.
