This is a MUST see in KRABI, Thailand Trip.

in #travel7 years ago

Our time in Krabi was perfect. Got to see so much I couldn't believe it!!! We had done all the Island tours that we wanted to do in Phuket which left us with more time to do some different tours in Krabi. We decided to plan a little tour of our own which didn't cost us a Penny or a (BAHT).

That tour was the Tiger temple.

Tiger Temple with no Tigers unfortunately... In the cave however there are what appear to be tiger paw prints in the stone. The main tourist attraction at the temple is the 1,272 step climb up a limestone tower to see the "footprint of the Buddha"

Even if you are in good shape, the humidity and temperature make this a DIFFICULT hike and I put emphasis on DIFFICULT.

Once you make it to the top you are rewarded with stunning 360 degree views of the countryside and the Andaman Sea so it is all totally worth it even if I did nearly die half way up the stairs.

We made it to the TOP

On our next tour of Krabi we visited the Suwannakuha Temple and Floating Muslim Village.

Suwannakuha Temple had beautiful golden statues and also a reclining buddha statue. The temple itself is located inside a cave, and surrounded by a forest with a quite large monkey community however we didn't see any monkeys that day I think they were hiding or there wasn't enough food for them.

The Koh Panyi Floating Muslim Village wasn't actually part of our tour however we stopped briefly to take some pictures but I believe you can actually stop here for lunch which I think would be very nice to do.
