On beautiful trees with breathtaking views, experience sensations never felt before. From one platform to another, from tree to tree, balance yourself through an assortment of games such as bicycle in the trees (unique in Asia), rope bridges, tarzan swings, flying skateboard, and giant zip lines. Just a new silly experience in Thailand!

Recently completed this is one impressive temple. It appears almost indian while incorporating Thai buddhist aspects. Everywhere you go there were Thais and tourists taking photos of themselves near the artwork. Entrance is 50 baht for tourists which i felt was not an issue. Because of the size of the place, even with some thai buses arriving, at no stage did it feel crowded or rushed. Definitely worth a visit if you in the area.

Wat Bang Thong = Wat Mahatat Wachiramongkol (This is the short, local, name of the official name. Both are on tripadvisor, but itnis the same excellent temple.) As it is brand new, all decorations & paintings are in perfect condition! I wrote the review there before: "Just came back from it. They still continue working, and changes are coming fast! On weekends busloads with Thai people come to visit: organised by villagers, bring a monk with them. Many from area Nakhon Sitamarat. Interesting to see that families donate the robe and go around the main Buddha statue after praying with one of the available monks. On this Sunday we saw every 15 minutes new groups , maybe 10 at the time, going around with the orange robes/cloth. My guess would be 75 meter? There is a story that it is build for the new king Rama 10, partly donated by the father of the kings former wife. I would like to learn more about this temple. If I find out, will tell here. (I live nearby in Manora Garden, Phangnga.)" Worth the visit: 30 minutes from Phangnga or Ao Luk, 1 hour /1:15 from Krabi Ao Nang. A car is best, enough parking possibilities, good coffeeshop/snacks, very clean area. Since the main construction work is all finished, very easy to take beautiful pictures!

I had to decide between a half day adventure to Ao Tha Lane and Bor Thor. The tours from Ao Nang/Krabi tell you the half day trip to Ao Tha Lane has no lunch but is a 30 min drive whilst the trip to Bor Thor has lunch. I was advised that Ao Tha Lane is more about kayaking down mangrove river whilst Bor Thor is about kayaking and visiting caves. We took Bor Thor, it had lunch and the longer ride in the car was worth it. The trip went from 8:30am pickup at Ao Nang arriving at 9.30am to arrival at hotel at 3pm, departing Bor Thor at 2pm. 3 hours of adventure enough with your kids aged 10 and 8. We paid 900 Baht per adult and 700 Baht for the children. This covered all costs including transport, entrance to the park caves, lunch and kayaking with the guide. It’s a bargain. Some other tours offered are more expensive. So best to go with the Krabi Nature Group as the other one on offer in Ao Nang from the Chang Group is more expensive.The guides are not opportunistic either to ask for tips. 1 hour from Krabi in a van, we had a small group of 6 adults and 2 children. That was very nice and not crammed and overloaded as some other reviews advise. This adventure is suitable to kids 8 up or possibly younger kids can just sit in the kayak so long as they can take instructions. The first cave (Bor Thor sea canal Klong Pring) is reached by after 15-20 mins paddling and you drift through a cave opening to see the stalactites. Moving on from here to the Phi Hua To (in google) and Pee Hua Too (on the signboard). It has rock paintings from a previous generation. You have about 20 mins free time and time to explore the mangrove boardwalk outside. After this is a visit to a lagoon that can only be seen at low tide. At low tide you can drift through under a rock structure where you need to duck to get in. (Lod Tai cave) The guide checks to make sure that you are ok if you are a slower paddler but he won’t baby sit you which is just fine. So if you get scared by being alone in a river, better let them know in advance. This is a great way to spend a day but not a full day getting you back to the hotel to freshen up for night market action in Krabi. There’s a number of inconsistent reviews when it comes here so the key is to get the right tour group and ask for Krabi Nature Group. Yes you are in the sun so get your SPF 50+ and other shirts. You don't need to wear swimming gear unless you plan to fall into the water. Your bums get a little wet so just some clothing to dry out quickly. Lastly, there are toilets at the start of the journey and a restaurant called Riverside. There's another restaurant called the Bor Thor restaurant nearby and a couple of other shops nearby at the Pier. Do it again and maybe a full day tour.

This main beach of this island has blue, green water. The pristine beach and good snorkeling spot are two main attractions on this island. It also has a nature trail along the bottom of Karst formation on this Island. There is a restaurant, multiple accommodations, and many tables for resting. There are trees covering the inland - perfect to hang hammock and tent for resting while enjoying the cool sea breeze.
