The countryside around Krabi is a real pleasure for walkers. The Tup Kaek Dragon Crest walk has one of the finest views in the province (if not the world!)

Temples

There are literally dozens of Temples in Krabi. Some are incredibly ornate and grand while others are simple local temples. They all make a great visit though.

A blast through the forests on an ATV is a real thrill. Its even something that can be done on a rainy day in Krabi (the mud just makes it even more fun)
