Krabi Attractions - Top Sightseeing and things to see
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.
