Krabi Attractions

One of the major sights of this region is the shell cemetery at Susan Hoi, 8 km (5 mi.) further east on Route 4203/4204. Visible only at low tide, the giant slabs, 75 million years old, are the graveyard of fossilized freshwater snail shells. This is one of only three such sites in the world (there is another one in the US).

The route (4033/4034/4202) bends right, south-east of Ban Thong Station, and presses on south between high rock walls then past scenic little villages to the beautiful beach of Hat Noparat Thara, which has fine white sand mixed with tiny seashells. At low tide it is possible to walk out to some of the little islands offshore.

The limestone cliffs above Railay Beach are noted for some of the best rock climbing the world over. The views are spectacular from the top of the cliffs.

The beach has yet to become as busy as some of the other crowded beaches in Ao Nang and Phi-Phi but that is making it more popular.

Koh Hong is a limestone oasis, part of a larger group of islands, with a beautiful white sandy beach. The clear waters are a looking glass into the vast array of tropical fish that swim below.

Visitors feel like they are entering a desert island 'room' when they travel through the limestone rock formations which is home to the beach and a large lake.
