Wat Maha That Wachiramongkol

Reviewed By trav4go2 - Canberra, Australia

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.

St Agnes Catholic Church

Reviewed By 2Buicks - Canada, null

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

Reviewed By GerardMeeuwsen - Phang Nga, Thailand

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!

Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)

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.

Reviewed By 964anuragj - Singapore, Singapore

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.

Take a long tail boat and head off on a most enjoyable trip. Stopped at caves and then meandered through thick mangrove forest, absolutely beautiful. Nature at it's best. Finish the trip at the Mangrove Restaurant.

Koh Phi Phi Viewpoint

Reviewed By actrip12 - London, United Kingdom

This is a MUST for anyone visiting Phi Phi, the views are breathtaking. We were unaware of the vast amount of steep steps that were part of the route to the viewpoint, make sure you have water with you as it is a tiring climb! It is 100% worth it though, we arrived just before sunset so got to see the sun set which was brilliant. It was busy up there, but there is a lot of space so you are able to get uninterrupted photos. A must see!

Kontiki

Reviewed By 607mahesha - Cebu City, Philippines

This is one dive shop that treated us not like clients but like warm loved family members. From the booking at their Ao Nang beach road shop to the pick up next morning at 7.30.. To the welcome on their boat at the pier.. It was all done in a manner that left us feeling special. FON our dive master is perhaps the only THAI girl who's doing a dive master's job in Krabi. She's truly as her name suggests.. FUN to be with.. She made us feel immediately welcome and handled our group with a meticulous eye for every small detail.. As well as put us at complete ease with regard to any special needs or requirements some of us may have had on the dive. The two hour cruise to Phi Phi Islands itself was a treat.. It's a really large boat with two main decks.. Three levels in all.. Very comfortable with enough breakfast, lunch, tea, and rehydrating liquids on board. I'd say even without the diving just the two hours to the island and two hours return were great cruises. As far as the dives were concerned the water was thirty degrees with roughly ten meter visibility. The marine life was varied and the coral fairly colorful. Overall a good fun dive experience. Of course our dive master FON was highly alert on the dive and always in full control and that made for a reassuring dive experience, specially for the two novice divers we had in the group . The equipment used by Kontiki was almost new and in excellent condition. I'd say kudos to her for her briefing, set up, overall hospitality and warm friendly yet professional approach to all in her group. We felt truly satisfied with the entire experience. Keep up the good work Kontiki and hopefully there will be more lady dive masters soon like FON in the future.

Khao Ngon Nak

Reviewed By Y7155PBmariap - Singapore, Singapore

Please wear proper hiking shoes! It is not just a walk in the park. There will be some challenging spots with slippery and rocky climbing. My family is used to hiking and some spots made us a bit nervous. But it is totally doable. My six year old son did it . It took us 2 hours up , 30 minutes on top and 2 hours back. Due to several stops for the kiddo. Make sure to check the forecast before and on the day of climbing. Have at least a litre of water per person, snacks, sun and mosquito protection and a small first aid kit. Come as early as you can. Make sure to have a tip of 100B per person for the rangers upon return when you check out. Not obligatory, but it’s a custom) overall - an amazing hike for my family.
