Krabi Interesting Adventures Tours

Rock climbing courses
Rock climbing became popular at Railay since 1992, after a French cliff climber surveyed this area and designated several climbing courses of different difficulty levels. Cliff climbers from all over the world visit Railey every year, making it like an international meeting place of cliff climbers.

There is an incredible diversity of marina life in the area with locations to suit divers of all experience levels.

Canoe - Ao Thalan
About half way along the coast between Than Bog Khorani and Krabi Town is a bay of mangroves that may be the most beautiful in all of Thailand. Here, bays and canyons are like passageways. Recently discovered, this setting is superb for having a first time encounter with this ecosystem.

Sea Kayak - Koh Hong
Hong island stand out as one of the most beautiful island of the Andaman cost. As your approach from the sea the towering limestone formation & crytal clear water inspire images of deserted Dream Island. Pelay beach boasts powder white sand & wonderful coral & fish.

Elephant trekking in Krabi

THE elephant is seen as a symbol of the nation and a talisman for the Thai people. With their wrinkly grey skin and swaying trunk, they are a fascinating combination of brute force, gentleness and remarkable agility that inspires both respect and affection.

With elephants fast disappearing from the wild in Thailand, the best place to see these fascinating animals up close is in a trekking camp. There are only a few camps in Krabi - such establishments must follow strict guidelines as set by the National Livestock Department regarding the provision of adequate food, water and shade for their animals, as well as proper health care.

A trek will allow you to experience this first-hand, as well as the animals' natural forest environment. Carrying tourists for fun means the elephants are able to earn their keep, while living as freely as is possible: as there is not enough space to release them into the wild, and they are very costly to feed (eating up 2-300kg of food per day) the only alternatives for these gentle giants are begging, illegal logging, or inactivity in a zoo.

Trekking tours - usually an hour's ride on the elephant, combined with another sightseeing activity - are bookable through any local agent, or you can visit the camps directly if you don't wish to do the other activities on the itinerary.

Cycling

FOR those brave enough to attempt it (the climate is very hot and humid), cycling through the Krabi countryside is a richly rewarding experience. Most tourists will only ever see local people who live by the side of the main road - and that usually through the minibus window as it speeds past.

A mountain bike, available for rent in Krabi Town and in Ao Nang, will allow you to go 'off-road' and explore the network of dirt tracks that go back for miles behind the highways. You will come across astonishing landscapes, small farming communities - and no doubt a whole host of memorable encounters with friendly and welcoming local people.

The main highway network is also fairly cycle-friendly. The roads are generally not very busy and on the majority of them there is a hard shoulder. Local car drivers are also very used to motorcyclists, so other two-wheeled road users - although fairly uncommon - pose no problem for them.

As yet there is no company offering guided cycling tours of Krabi; however a good local map (and a good sense of direction) is often all you need. It is very hard to get lost, even off-road, as all dirt tracks eventually lead out to a named highway. A must for adventurous spirits.

Golf courses

THERE is one golf course in Krabi, Pakasai Country Club, located around 40km south of Krabi Town in Neua Klong district. It is owned by the local electricity board and is rated quite highly by local golfers, who enjoy the challenge of its tricky fairways and fast undulating greens, in slightly hilly terrain.

The course has recently been expanded to 18 holes.

There are several companies who can arrange for you to play. They will usually sell a 'golf package', which includes transport to and from the course; equipment hire; green fees; and refreshments, for a fairly reasonable price. You can also visit independently. Serious golfers may however be better off holidaying in Phuket, which offers a far greater choice for enthusiasts, including some championship courses.
