Expert Tips
“If you don’t mind climbing a few stairs, then visit the Tiger Temple (no tigers present) but go in the morning or so temperatures are lower. It’s hard work getting to the top – but the views are all the reward you will need. Oh, and remember to take drinking water with you and make sure your shoulders are covered as it is a temple.”
“Krabi is great for families with older children – there are so many activities to keep teenagers entertained here – from zip wiring to canoeing, and rock climbing to snorkelling.”
