If you are going to Krabi, Thailand, chances are that you intend to spend most of your time enjoying its stunning beaches. However, if you get tired of sunbathing or swimming at any point, try checking out these tourist attractions instead.

Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple)

In order to reach the Tiger Cave Temple, you will need to climb 1,260 stairs. However, the effort is well worth it because you will be stunned by the beauty of this sacred place. Among some of its draws are tiger paw prints, a golden statue of Buddha, and an opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of Krabi once you reach the top.

Emerald Pool

In a place where unique sights are common, Emerald Pool is really something special. The park is best known for its scenic turquoise-blue mineral pond surrounded by the lush forest that calls you to explore it. But before you do take the narrow paths into the trees, make sure to put on a bathing suit and take a swim.

Krabi Elephant Sanctuary

Krabi Elephant Sanctuary is really a special place. It serves as an animal rescue for elephants that have previously worked in the logging or tourism industry. Elephants are returned to their natural habitat, where they enjoy their days roaming free or socializing with visitors. If you want a more ethical way to hang out with these gentle giants, this is a good way to do it.
