Hike the Dragon Crest Trail
The Dragon Crest viewpoint or as it is known locally as Khao Ngon Nak is probably one of the best viewpoints in Krabi. The trail is located inside the Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park and the trail will take you up to the top of Khao Ngon Nak mountain where you will be able to have an unobstructed view of Krabi and see why Krabi is one of the most beautiful places in Thailand. The trail itself is about 3.7 km long one way and it can take you from 2 - 4 hours to get to the top depending on your fitness. The trail started out pretty flat but then it gets quite steep around the second the fourth kilometers before you arrive at the top so make sure you are in a good shape before tackling the trail.
Once you arrive at the top, you will be able to see Ao Nang beach as well as all the vertical limestone mountains scattered throughout the area. It is almost as if you are staring at Halong Bay on land. Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park and the Dragon Crest Trail are open from 8 AM to 4:30 PM and the entrance fee to the national park is 200 THB per person. It is highly advised that you begin the hike by 8 AM for the optimum weather and the likelihood that you will have the entire trail to yourself.
