1. Wat Maha That Wachiramongkol

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.

You have to remove your footwear to go inside. dont worry, the flooring is spotless clean! The Catholic Sunday mass was at 10am, in Thai. The church is near Ao Nang town. There is a small grotto of Mary of as well. The church is small but not without character. There is a choir during the mass too with great hymns although all in Thai.

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!
4. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,807 reviews
This temple complex not only serves as a religious site for the monks who live and worship there, but also features a maze of natural caves in an overgrown jungle valley where stone tools, pottery remains and the mold for making Buddha footprints have been excavated.

What a physical exercise that ended with stunning views at the top of tiger cave mountain. About 1260 steep steps, equivalent of 300m height or 600m walk, this activity is definitely recommended for those who are looking for strenuous activity in Krabi. Definitely recommend but be ready for sweaty evening. Start at 5pm and be there by 6pm to get a clear sunset view. Carry plenty of water to stay hydrated but you will get filtered cold water tap at the top of the hill. People bring drones as well for a clear sky experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this and would do it again next time we are in Krabi.

I had an opportunity to pray inside this mosque. It looks stunning from the outside and very nice from the inside. It is based close to Ao Nang beach (10 minutes walk) and on Muslim Street where there are many Muslim-owned shops and food around the mosque area - and it is busy at night. Tonnes of Halal food available around the main mosque area. The mosque was a bit of a walk from my hotel (Ao Nang Sunset Hotel - about 20 minutes walk) but it was worth the visit
