Krabi, the Fantasy of the Andaman Sea

Krabi, a land of exceptional beauty which archaeologist believe it's been inhabited by ancient civilizations that pre-dates historical records, boasts as almost infinite array of interesting attractions:

Wat Klong Tom Museum features an amazing array of artifacts that was unearthed in the area, such as stone tools, accessories made of stone and clay, specifically beads from an ancient civilization dates 5,000 years ago.

I had no idea that the cool place to climb in Thailand was also the cool place for Ancient Beads. Dave, ever on the lookout to give me fun and exciting experiences suggested that we make a visit to the local bead Wat, Klong Thom. - Nicole Taken on June 18, 2007

Khao Kanab Nam is the name of twin, 100-meter-high hills that decorate the banks of the Krabi River - a landmark of Krabi town. A long tail boat will give you an intimate tour of the lush natural scenery, including caves with stalagmites and stalactites where large amounts of skeletons had once been discovered.

The saltwater hot spring attract both Thais and foreigners, for its acclaimed therapeutic benefits that believed to treat diabetes, joint aches, rashes, and more. It even features a separate mud pool used specifically for facial treatment.

The Emerald Pool is born from warm spring water from the lowlands of the south which flows from the waterfalls. Its name draws from the emerald-green color of its waters, which is especially apparent during summer mornings.

Other attractions include the Fossil Shell Beach, the Black Crab Monument, the Koh Klang local community, Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam, and the Krabi Fisheries R&D Center.

Krabi, the Fantasy of the Andaman Sea 

The Enchantment of the Crystal Waters, White Sands, Pristine Corals, Mangrove Forests, and Heart-stopping Cliffs.

Idle breezes, streaming rays of the sun, beautiful seawaters with a gently foaming waves. This scene tells us it’s time to pack our bags and head for the embrace of the beaches, and Krabi is one of the most idyllic coasts of the Andaman Sea. With more than 154 islands, large and small, together with cliffs for the adventurous climbers, Krabi is never lacking in attractions: Koh Mai Pai is a small island within 40km of the mainland, with beaches that stretch from the top to the bottom of the strip and is one of the highlights of Krabi. The national reserve there offers tents for accommodation, which allows travelers to take in the view of the sunrise and sunset. Koh Poda’s beaches feature beautiful, refined white sands against a turquoise sea, which is great for snorkeling because of its shallow corals and schools of tiny fish that swim among them. Located near Koh Poda are Koh Kai, Koh Tub, and Koh Moh, also known as the ‘splitting sea’ - one of the Unseen Thailand destinations - which allows people to walk across to the three islands.

Chiang Mai : Northern of Thailand

Visiting the land of Lanna and paying respects to the designated Buddha.

When the weather cools down and brings images of rustling leaves of winter trees, breezes, gentle fog, and mountains to mind, we does not hesitate to plan a trip to the north. We chose Chiang Mai because we never get bored no matter how often we return. Not to be missed is an auspicious visit to the temple. This time we suggest the Jed Yod Temple, which is an ancient one well-known among Buddhists in the past and present. Next is the Suan Dok, or Bupharam, Temple, which legend believes to be the flower garden of noble elite of the Meng Rai dynasty. Another recommended temple is the Tunnel Temple, which has a tunnel made from a wall-like structure which has different routes that intersect.

A 700-year old culture

The glory of the Lanna Kingdom and Chiang Mai is a key aspect of the development of northern Thailand, as it is well known that Chiang Mai has cultivated a rich cultural heritage throughout its history that is unique,beautiful, and reflecting generations of wisdom passed down. We recommend a visit to the Chiang Mai Historical Gallery and Lanna Museum that has just opened to public in December 2012, after having closed for renovation for many years. The Gallery features the historical development of Chiang Mai, from the founding of the city to its expansion, flourishing in both trade, religion, and the arts, leading up to its loss to Burmese invasion, before eventually winning and unifying with Thailand. There is also a hall highlighting its relationship to the region, featuring the culture around sticky rice, clothing, and the changes that occurred over the past 100 years.
