Thailands beauty is one of wonder when you come here you won't want to leave
it has stunning beaches lots of do amazing food and some of the friendliest
people in the world if you're looking for a more family and laid-back place
and Krabi is a must-see welcome to our Krabi Travel Guide where we show you
the sights things to do and what to eat
when most people think of Thailand they visualize seeing limestone islands and
the beautiful beaches on them in Krabi there are plenty of islands to see best
way to see them is by boat two popular forms of transportation our speed boat
tours where you go with a group of people or hire your own private longtail
boat two islands we visited were Phi Phi Island and Hong island Phi Phi island is the most
popular of islands it's been in movies James Bond and The Beach to name a
couple when you approach by boat it rises from the sea like a fortress sheer
cliffs tower overhead and you're greeted with beaches and jungles when you arrive
there are many islands that are part of this tour some with amazing snorkelling
beaches one with monkeys on the beach and another with Viking drawings in it
this is Viking cave there's like pictures of Vikings inside there this is really cool
there's like drawings sorry not pictures wow what a day once you arrive at the
main port in Phi Phi Island there are markets restaurants and hotels to enjoy
well we're on Phi Phi Island we're gonna go see if we get to the other side here and
see a beach we got about an hour before a boat takes us hopefully we can get
back on time right Jaden uh uh how's that pop super good it's strawberry strawberry ha ha it was
one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen can you believe this look at this place
unbelievable hong island is a group of tiny islands which offer breathtaking
scenery soft white sand beaches coral reefs and a beautiful Lagoon
This is awesome this is a lagoon in Hong island it's in the center
so we had to go through limestone rocks to get to it
it has one of the most peaceful beautiful beaches we've ever
seen that's a photo shoot going on in one of the most beautiful places in the
world I wonder why they would do it here I don't get it pretty beautiful people
want to be here oh I get it we enjoyed swimming snorkeling and just
hanging out on the beach these islands have spectacular rock formations we
found that the best way to get to these islands is by hiring a private longtail
boat so you're not rushed and you can control how long you stay at each Island
what do you think of this bay its pretty awesome it's really beautiful I love it
when all the boats leave yeah its just ours we have it to ourselves
yeah there's like four boats here now visit an ethical elephant sanctuary
elephant sanctuary are places for elephants that have been rescued from
either the tourist trade where they get ridden or work elephants these elephants
typically come from not ideal conditions some are abused overworked and exploited
we learned that is actually harmful to ride elephants as it is very hard on
their back it cost approximately thirty five
thousand US dollars to rescue these elephants so it's very expensive
do your research as we learned that some of these places will disguise themselves
as sanctuaries but they still keep the elephants in poor conditions we visited
the Krabi Elephant sanctuary which had just opened and was started by the same
organization that started at a large well known sanctuary in Chiang Mai what
elephants can get here more habitat more liberty more happy and more healthy this
is our goal not to make elephant light better you get to feed bathe and get up
close and personal with the elephants cool is that you get picked up and
dropped off so no need to hire a driver rent-a-car the sanctuary is about a 50
minute drive from Ao Nang they have fresh fruit bottled water and hot showers to
clean up after the experience are you kidding me we get to walk with elephants stay in the
shot are we lucky we're so lucky the cost is approximately 2500 baht per
adult which is about $80 u.s. and 2,000 baht per child which is about $65 u.s.
not cheap but definitely worth the splurge if you're looking for a
once-in-a-lifetime experience it's about a five hour a day this is probably one
of our most favorite experiences in our entire life the toenails of their eyes
only sweat like the eyelashes oh really only sweat that's it emerald pool and hot
springs emerald pool is a natural wonder of stunning crystal-clear emerald water
in the middle of the jungle located in Thung Teao Forest National Park beautiful
place so far love the beauty in Thailand it's warm bath like water with a mini
waterfall spilling into it we've never seen anything like this before
this is amazing one of the most things best things ever done in my life this is
awesome the ground is really slippery and there are ropes to hang on to to
help you get in to access it there's a beautiful nature trail along the
boardwalk that takes about 15 minutes or so to walk get there early to avoid the
crowds it's approximately one hour drive from Ao Nang it's an easy drive from Ao Nang
so we rented a car because we had children but you can also get scooters
or take a tour the park entry fee is 200 baht for adults approximately seven US
dollars at a hundred baht for kids approximately three three US dollars definitely
worth it wow you can't beat this were in this green aqua pool
in the middle of a jungle I wish I was the only one here Krabi hot
springs is just 15 minutes down the road from Emerald pool in the same National Park
is the natural hot springs that comes from volcanic thermal springs we are
taking a go-kart to the hot springs the kids forced me I try to incorporate
Fitness in everything we do when we travel and this is the exact opposite of that
well we still have to walk it has tiered water pools like mini hot
tubs in the middle of the jungle Oh this is nice
its like a hot tub except hotter
it is said that these pools have healing properties but they were sure relaxing
the fee to enter 90 baht per person so just under three dollars us again best
to get there early as there can be crowds and crowds of people and it's
quite small tiger cave temple it was discovered in 1975 when a monk went to
meditate in a cave and he was said to have seen Tigers you can't even see
tiger paw prints in the cave this cave was so incredible monks still practice
there and you can even participate in a blessing ceremony make sure you cover
your shoulders and you also have to take off your shoes and go in bare feet that
was cool there was monks in there and you
could get blessed by the monks we didn't do that but should have got the YouTube channel blessed new
experience for us just outside the cave and down the path you can climb up 1237
steeps treacherous stairs to the top of a mountain that has a large Buddha
statue at the top oh my god going up the steep hill where are you there you are so like it's like
you're like under my feet I am holy smokes it's called stairway to heaven
and even has signs that read pray for your safety as it's so dangerous the
kids started to pick up the pace they're starting to run up the stairs
if you climb these stairs be careful or monkeys as they can be aggressive we
didn't have any issues but we saw someone get attacked for their plastic
bag oh that's aggressive if it I don't know if I want to pass it you don't want
to go up No! alright we've continued on there was a monkey scare someone was attacked
by a monkey and it scared the kids we're good if you dare make the climb you will
be rewarded with an amazing view at the top well that is a wall of rain
approaching us and we gotta go down those stairs so hopefully we make it
oh my god we made it down it's flat the ground is flat and no more stairs yeah I worship the flat
ground I thought we were gonna die for sure at least one of us
I thought maybe me because I got the biggest feet
ya because you're clumsy and and the steps were made
for children Huay Toh Waterfall this waterfall is a hidden gem and worth a
visit off to another waterfall it's called I don't know huh toe waterfall
what's it called Huay Toh Huay Toh big toe
waterfall we're gonna go see a big toe it's only about a half an hour drive
from Au Nang in Khao Phenom Bencha National Park it's a fairly short easy
hike to the waterfall which has five cascading waterfalls with pools at the
bottom you can swim in we've found it not too busy at all making it worth it
as it's not really touristy it's in a national park and the cost was a hundred
baht per person which is about three dollars U.S. alright that was awesome
risking my life for the shot not really looks like it though doesn't it pretty safe up
here it's a beautiful waterfall Ao Nang this is one of
the main towns and it has a couple of beautiful beaches lots of shopping
restaurants massage places coffee and nightlife when shopping make sure you
haggle on price it's lots of fun and the vendors seem to expect it and enjoy it
as well we've been haggling for a while we'll
see if this works out I think we're gonna get a good deal let's just hope
that the stuff works Ao Nang is a very busy place so if you are looking for a
more peaceful place then you can just stay outside of Ao Nang like we did
Ao Nang is it must visit for shopping and eating and just hanging out I didn't
know that there's parts of thailand that are muslim I think that's what that is
it seems like it goes on about five times a day
you hear that
its kinda cool actually hearing it in person
accommodations there are a lot of nice places to stay in Krabi we
stayed in two different places first we stayed inland at an Airbnb in
the jungle at a place with a nice pool and parrots then moved to the pelican
resort which was really nice with a huge pool breakfast included and right across
from the beach there were lots of great Thai restaurants to eat at as well all
of them right on the beach within walking distance we usually choose to
stay at Airbnbs but the prices for these beautiful resorts are fairly
reasonable one thing to keep in mind is they're not big grocery stores like back
home and it's difficult to find food to cook meals rice and eggs was our go-to
meal what to eat there are lots of great Thai restaurants all over our favorite
dish was Pad Thai of course there are lots of small family-owned Street food
places that we tried that were also quite good smoothie places are all over
as well the best one was in Ao Nang called fresh your day
the only issue we had with this place was sometimes it was closed even though
it said it was open coffee good coffee is hard to come by in Thailand but there
is a couple of places like Starbucks in Ao Nang which can get you by beaches the
beaches here are some of the most beautiful in the world some you get to
by boat on hong island and Phi Phi island for example on the mainland there are
beaches in Ao Nang which are quite busy but beautiful Tub Kaak Beach this is a
long sandy beach that is lined with four and five star resorts it is very quiet
and a great way to get away from the crowds water is warm and you can wade
out in the calm waters which is perfect for families and small kids another
Beach is Klong Muang Beach which was right across the street from our resort
this Beach is lined with restaurants and bars this was a great place to watch the
sunset and afterwards a fire guy would perform for you this was also a great
place to hire a private long-tail boat to see the islands nearby one honorable
mention that we really wanted to go to but ran out of time is Railay beach some things
we didn't get to do but should be high on your list are
visit Krabi town it's known for two daily fresh markets
including a night market to hang out and get great local food there is also
Krabi River and a temple that's in the center of the town also take a ferry to
Koh Lanta which is a beautiful island south of Krabi this would be a couple
of days to do as you'd want to stay overnight if you are looking for a place
with stunning beauty and plenty of adventurous activities to do then
definitely put Krabi on your list as part of your Thailand visit there are so
much to do amazing food to eat and awesome accommodations please watch our 9 Don'ts
