The free monthly guide to Krabi province, the Krabi Flyer, is an excellent resource for giving up-to-date tourist information. It can be found in most guesthouses and tour agencies.
If you want to stay at an eco-friendly resort that offers cheap, well-designed bungalows and some of the most beautiful views in the province then you should visit Phanom Bencha Mountain Resort. The enchanting gardens, natural spring water swimming pool and all the peace and quiet you’ve ever wanted, combine to make the mountain resort one of my favourite places in Thailand.
The obligatory Red Bull or Beer Chang T-shirt need not leave Thailand.
One of the best views in Krabi, if not the whole of Thailand, can be found at the top of Wat Tham Seua (Tiger Cave Temple). It will take you 1,237 steps of sweat-drenched effort to reach the summit but you will be rewarded with spectacular 360 degree views of the area including the forests, limestone scenery and the Andaman Sea.
