Hike Up to the Top of Wat Tham Suea

Wat Tham Suea is a mountain temple known for its cave where a tiger once resided as well as the epic pilgrimage trail that will take you to the top of a limestone mountain where you will be able to see an unobstructed panoramic view of Krabi town and all its surrounding. The pilgrimage trail at Wat Tham Suea consists of around 1200 steps and it can take you about 30 minutes to an hour to hike to the top. Some of these 1200 steps are not your regular human steps but more like steps for giants as they are crazy steep at times. Be sure you are in a good shape before tackling the trail.

Once you arrive at the top, you will see a large Buddha image as well as a platform where you will be able to see a 360° view above Krabi town and all its surroundings. On one side, you'd see the small towns near Wat Tham Suea while on the other, you will see rolling hills of limestone mountains as far as the eyes can see. Wat Tham Suea and the trail are open from 4 AM until 5 PM every day and it is free to enter and hike.
