Krabi, a small island far away from the hustle and bustle, is a karst wonderland on the sea!
Krabi is a province in southern Thailand, about 814 kilometers from Bangkok and across the sea from Phuket, less than 100 kilometers away in a straight line. It is a small but surprising resort. Unlike the bright and lively Phuket, Krabi is like a quiet and gentle girl. The sea water here ranges from light green to dark blue, with a full range of colors, like a dream.More than 30 outlying islands dot this sea area like pearls. The wild and primitive waterfall forests and mountain caves are the unique original ecological scenery of Krabi. The marine karst landform is the most iconic feature of Krabi. After thousands of years of evolution, huge limestone hills suddenly rise from the sea to form the wonder of giant rocks on the sea.
"Troll's Tongue" is one of the three major strange rocks in Norway. It is more than 1,100 meters above sea level. Standing on it, you can overlook the magnificent panoramic view of Hardangerfjord. It is a pilgrimage site for many outdoor enthusiasts. In Krabi, there is also the thrilling "Krabi Tongue". "Krabi Tongue" is located in Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park. You can reach this commanding height through the Dragon Crown Mountain Nature Trail, where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery and take cliff blockbusters as if you are in Norway.
In the late 1980s, a New Zealand rock climbing expert came to Krabi and found that the local mountains were steep and the rocks were steep. This landform was simply a natural rock climbing site, so he had a lot of fun here. The local guys wanted to learn it, and the experts were happy to teach. Later, several young Thai people who followed him thought that they should carry it forward, and they decided to open the first rock climbing school on Railay Beach. More and more rock climbers from all over the world came here, making it a rock climbing sanctuary today.
From November to April of the following year is the dry season in Krabi, with an average temperature of 25-32 degrees, blue sky, warm sunshine, and gentle sea breeze. At that time, the people walking on the beach and hanging on the rock wall are all rock climbing friends from all over the world. Because it is a rock climbing site on the seaside, one of the famous ways to play in Krabi rock climbing is Deep Water Soloing. Climbers do not have any protective measures. They start climbing up the rock wall from the boat or water. If they lose their hands halfway or finally finish climbing, they will jump directly into the sea below. This kind of stimulation is not something that everyone can bear. It requires overcoming the huge pressure of long-distance unprotected climbing and facing the crisis of falling into the water. But after becoming proficient, you will definitely be addicted.
In addition to rock climbing, there are many experiences in Krabi worth unlocking, such as the waterfall hot springs about 70 kilometers away from Krabi Town. The underground hot springs flow down the mountain like a waterfall. The water temperature is around 40 degrees Celsius all year round. The hot springs are full of natural mineral salts, which can cure many physical discomforts. Lying on the natural stones, being bathed by the hot spring waterfall, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the surrounding tropical rainforest, completely empty yourself, and enjoy the gift of nature with all your heart.
The Emerald Pool is located in the Thung Teao National Forest Park in Krabi. It is known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Thailand". The water is rich in minerals and presents a clear blue-green color like emerald. Because it is also hot spring water, the water temperature is very comfortable. It is a natural swimming pool where parents and children can play.
