Krabi is one of the most popular provinces in Thailand. Many travelers choose to go there to enjoy the nature of the area. Two things that you cannot forget is a fully-charged camera and a bottle of water. The water is for your own hydration and the camera is to capture stunning views for you to look back at and show off to your family and friends. If you are an adventurous person, Krabi has to be one of your dream destinations. Many activities are available at this province including kayaking, rock climbing, and caving. It would be a shame if you missed out on all of these outdoor activities. If you want to visit Krabi, here are the top wonderful natural destinations that you must visit:
Thung Teao Forest Natural Park
When we talk about natural attractions, it is impossible to forget about Thung Teao Forest Natural Park. This place has been a well-known spot among travelers who are photography enthusiasts. The views here are magnificent, offering an experience that you cannot get anywhere else. As you walk deeper into the park, you will be stunned at how striking the Emerald Pool is. The water is crystal clear. As the name suggests, it is the color of an emerald. This famous natural lagoon cannot be missed.
After you pay a visit to the Emerald Pool, there is some lowland forest that you can explore. You can take a dip at the waterfalls and hot springs in the park too. If you have a lot of energy, consider spending a morning or an evening hiking along the nature trail. Do not forget to look around your surrounding because you might be lucky and spot some wildlife. This natural park is home to various kinds of birds, mammals, and insects.
Khao Khanab Nam
Another iconic place in Krabi is Khao Khanab Nam. When you get there, you will see the twin mountains situated on the river. To go there, you need to take a boat. Make sure that you make a reservation for the boat tour for this. Although most people choose to admire and take pictures of the mountains from a distance, you can hop on the islands and climb up for the stunning view. If you are crazy enough, you can even go explore the dark caves in the mountains. Make sure that you pack strong flashlights and bottles of water with you. The weather inside of the caves can be extremely humid, which is sure to make you thirsty.
Maya Bay
Even if you have never been to Krabi, you probably have already heard about Maya Bay. This island has been insanely popular among tourists all over the world. The main reason why so many people know about Maya Bay is because of the Hollywood film starred by Leonardo DiCaprio, The Beach. This was the location that they filmed, and the movie was booming in 2000. Maya Bay has welcomed lots of travelers each year. Because of that, its nature has been deteriorating over time. In the present, the authorities have closed the island to let nature rest. It will take many years to bring the coral reefs and marine life back to their former condition. If you’re fortunate enough to visit when the bay is open, make sure you pay a visit, but make sure that you respect the local wildlife as well.
