Places Of Interest

Khao Khanap Nam

The twin limestone mountains of Khao Khanap Nam are major local landmarks and one of the main symbols of the province. The mountains are split by a river and have several caves beneath them. Venture into the caves and admire interesting rock formations, then gaze up at the mighty mountains from ground level. The caves also hold a mystery: many skeletons were found here, with only speculation as to what caused the deaths of these unfortunate souls, whose remains are thought to date to prehistoric times. It’s possible to climb one of the mountains, with incredible views from the summit and a rocky overhang that attracts daredevils for dramatic Instagram photos.

Phra Nang Shrine

Phra Nang Shrine, also known as the Princess Cave, is a small cave at the end of Phra Nang Beach. Accessible from the sands, the cave is filled with phallic offerings wrapped with colourful ribbons, flower garlands, traditional statues and other gifts. The penis-shaped items come in all sizes and colours. The lingas (phalluses) represent the Hindu deity of Shiva and making merit here is said to increase fertility. Local fishermen also come to pray and seek safety for their sea voyages. Several legends surround the woman who the cave honours; some tell tales of an Indian princess that drowned, while others say she was the wife of a fisherman who perished at sea.

Wat Kaew Korawaram

On top of a hill in the heart of Krabi Town, Wat Kaew Korawaram provides awesome views of the surroundings. Two ferocious-looking naga statues flank the staircase, their golden tails snaking all the way up the steps. Climb to the large terrace and you’ll find a temple that looks slightly different to many of the other Buddhist temples in Thailand – the roof is blue and the walls are white. There are many interesting religious statues here and the temple walls feature eye-catching paintings that tell the story of the Lord Buddha’s life. As with many religious attractions in Thailand, food stalls and vendors selling offerings and amulets can be found outside.
