Filed under Activities
Mountain biking in Krabi is the best experience you’ll have in Thailand. Organise and participate cycle trips around Krabi Province to give an insight into the natural surroundings with an exciting adventure off the beaten track. Sightseeing at it’s best and get close to nature. If you are fit - try an overnight trip !. Try to plan the time and effort on the journey to ensure your bicycling trip as the most enjoyable part of your vacation. Currently we are running the 1-day Krabi bike tour and we customize it for what the group wants (how far the group can ride). If you go to see 6 attractions in one day you’re going to be VERY tired and sleep all the next day at the beach. Even if you’re in shape for mountain biking you’re going to find it a challenge. The 35 mile bicycle ride is mostly over flat roads and some very small hills. The trek up to the top of Krabi Tiger Cave - 1,237 steps will be quite an effort after you just biked 31 miles and though you’ll congratulate yourself over and over if you can actually make the full tour - there’s no need to! We can customize the bike tour to meet your needs and match your physical fitness level so you have the best time possible on this Krabi bike tour. Read more

THE SETTING
Located on southern Thailand’s east coast, 800 kilometres south of Bangkok, Krabi Province is an area of outstanding natural beauty covered with exotic islands such as world renowned, Koh Phi Phi. Classic virgin beaches competing with towering limestone formations and surrounded by crystalline waters fringing with colourful coral reefs. Beside the sea and sand, there are towering rocky cliffs, caves harbouring Buddhist temples, waterfalls, seemingly endless plantations of rubber and oil palm trees, lush and green national parks home to different species of fauna and flora, verdant mangrove forests and inlets that wind their way under soaring cliffs of karst mountains, and much more.

A riverside community in the South delights with its natural bounty
Women at Ban Si Somboon busy making ‘khanom la’.
There’s a host of things to see and do and lots of tasty tidbits to sample during a day’s outing to Pak Phanang, 36 kilometres east of Nakhon Si Thammarat town. During the 19th and early 20th centuries this district was the rice bowl of the far South. Its strategic location near the mouth (pak) of the Phanang River made it convenient for ships from British Malaya and even from as far away as Java to dock and load up with hulled rice from the steam-powered mills that lined a long stretch of the waterway. ”Commercial vessels no longer tie up along here,” said Paisarn Wipoosanapat, a local resident who’d volunteered to be our guide for the day, ”but we’ve preserved the old wooden shophouses and I think the atmosphere is similar to what it must have been like in the past.”

NOPPARAT THARA BEACH
is just North up the coast from Ao Nang, 19 km from Krabi town. It is also the longest beach in the area, 3 km long. The National Park headquarters are situated at the northern end of the beach, close to a tributary of water flowing from the mountain in the North.

Railay Beach

Railay Beach : Surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs on 3 sides, Railay Beach, just South of Ao Nang, can easily be reached by local taxi boat in 15 minutes. The name ‘Railay’ is supposedly an abbreviation for ‘Rai Tale’ in Thai, which means ‘orchard near the sea.’ Railay Beach consists of two bays joined at the headland on the West and East respectively.
West Railay is a narrow beach with towering karst formations and cliffs suitable for rock climbing. The turquoise water and long beach are highly popular amongst holiday makers for sunbathing and swimming. What has brought Railay its fame, however, is rock climbing. Back in 1992, a French rock climber explored the cliffs thoroughly and returned home to reveal his discoveries in rock climbing circles. since then, a great many experienced climbers have followed in his footsteps to enjoy the beauty and mystery of the soaring limestone pinnacles. The routes which they and others in their turn have established, vary in difficulty from 5C to 8C in the French system of standards, which include multi-pitch and single pitch climbs. Railay is said to have very challenging rock climbing by international standards. One of the best known routes is called ‘The King and I’, which is multi-pitch and to be found on the cliff named ‘Thai Wand Wall’. Tonsai Beach has 32 difficult and easy routes, with overhanging rocks that will test the strength of any climber. The ‘Humanity’ route offers more muti-pitch options. East Railay, (Nam Mao Beach), is the most popular of all for rock climbing, especially ‘Pa 1-2-3′, because of its easy access to accommodation. The 22 routes here, assessed at 5-7C in difficulty, suit the needs of both individual rock climbers and rock climbing schools.
HOW TO GET TO RAILAY BEACH
Although it is one of Krabi’s mainland beaches, it is inaccessible by road, being surrounded on all sides by cliffs. 
There are local taxi-boat services from Chao Fa pier in Krabi town (40 minutes), from Ao Nang (15 minutes) or from Nam Mao Beach (10 minutes).
WHERE TO STAY ON RAILAY BEACH
There are many rooms available in hotels and resorts in Railay, ranging in price and comfort. Pre-booking is nearly always advised, and during peak periods (including Thai holidays), reservations are a must. Railay Bay Resort & Spa is in West Railay and faces the sea.
WHERE TO EAT ON RAILAY BEACH
Most restaurants on Railay these days meet international culinary standards, and the seafood dishes here always receive the most orders.
FACILITIES ON RAILAY BEACH
Railay Beach has more or less the same standard and range of facilities as its neighbouring beaches, with the main additional activity being rock climbing.

Archaeological research revealing human and animal bones, tombs, stone age tools and campfire activity, suggest that Krabi was a home to cave men, 27,000 to 37,000 years ago. Man’s methods of survival changed over the course of time from hunting and gathering to animal rearing, 3,000 to 5,000 years ago.
