Krabi Town attractions
Khao Kanab Nam, the symbol of Krabi, two karst rocks situated next to each other. 15 minutes longtail boat can take you from the pier to the rocks, where you can walk up some stairs to the top.
Wat Kaew: one of the main temples in Krabi town, new building (to some it may look like a shiny white wedding cake) located on Thanon Maharat close to Th. Pattana.
Contemporary Art Museum of Krabi, opposite Wat Kaew, open T-Su 10:00 to 5:00.
Tiger Temple (Wat Tham Sua): one of the most famous temples in Southern Thailand, located on top of a mountain about 3 km northeast of the Krabi town. There is a stairways with 1237 steps to the top to visit a tiger's footprint on the top of mountain. Those who make it to the top will also be rewarded with 360 degree views of the area and the sea.
To get here is just a few Km out of town and a couple from the bus station.
Should cost no more than B200 in a taxi.
As you walk in, you will see a huge Stupa on the right with steps leading up inside. Entrance fee is B199, but this is NOT the Tiger Temple!!!!
This is up the top of a near vertical mountain some 300 metres (about 900 feet)skyward further along the path!
If you continue walking past the shop on the left, apparently run by the Temple, which advertises bananas to feed the monkeys (and then there are many notices which advise against feeding them because they are a pest - and they are, sometimes trying to steal shiny objects like cameras). Shortly on the left you will see the steps upward (there is no cost for this but you can leave a donation at the top if you make it). Many of the steps are quite steep, there are more than 1200 of them. If you have health problems, please think about this!
The view from the top, and from other places as you walk up, is phenomenal.
There is a toilet about half way up.
