Krabi
Attractions - Top Sightseeing and things to see
Natural Wonders
In the friendly town of Krabi, there are hotels,
shops and restaurants, and yet it still retains its natural charm.
The two mountains which straddle the Krabi River,
in the town of Khao Khanap Nam, are a stunning example of
stalagmites and stalactites. At Sah Bok Khorani, one of the eight
big ponds nestling in a shady forested area, lays a replica of the
Lord Buddha's footprint carved from wood.
A small waterfall, running down from the
mountain in steps, creates a magical emerald tinge to the big pond.

In front of the cave an image of Buddha
is enshrined. The name of this cave, "Phet," means
diamond, and indeed sparking stone casts beautiful
reflections on the cave wall.
How to get there: 3 km from the
intersection at Ao Luk Nua market. The best way to get
there is to first contact the National Park Office at
Than Bokkhorani for a guide.
