Private Krabi City Tour Full Or Half Day Tour

The Krabi City Tour with Phuket Travel Store is a journey into the heart of southern Thailand’s most charming coastal town — a mix of local culture, breathtaking scenery, sacred temples, and peaceful nature. This full or half-day experience introduces visitors to the true spirit of Krabi, where traditional lifestyles meet incredible natural beauty.

Discover the Charm of Krabi Town

Your adventure begins in Krabi Town, the cultural and spiritual center of the province. Here, the rhythm of local life is best seen in the morning market, where the aroma of Thai coffee, tropical fruits, and fresh seafood fills the air. It’s a vibrant scene that captures authentic Thai daily life — vendors selling local snacks, handmade products, and colorful spices. This is where travelers can connect with Krabi’s friendly locals and get a taste of the region’s traditions.

After exploring the market, the journey continues along the Krabi River, one of the region’s most scenic natural landmarks. A longtail boat ride takes you past dramatic limestone cliffs, mangrove forests, and mysterious caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites. The highlight is Khao Kanab Nam, Krabi’s twin limestone mountains that rise majestically from the water. These natural formations are the symbol of Krabi and provide an unforgettable view. Along the way, visitors may spot monkeys, water monitors, and exotic birds that thrive in this lush mangrove ecosystem.

Iconic Landmarks and Sacred Temples

No Krabi City Tour is complete without visiting one of its most spiritual and breathtaking sites — the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua). Set against a backdrop of green mountains and jungle, this sacred temple is one of the most revered places in southern Thailand. Inside the temple complex, visitors can see monks in meditation, hear the gentle ringing of temple bells, and feel the calm spiritual energy that fills the area. The temple’s golden Buddha statue and pagoda are perched high above the forest, accessible by a famous stairway of 1,260 steps. The climb is challenging, but those who reach the top are rewarded with panoramic views over Krabi Town, the Andaman coastline, and surrounding limestone peaks. It’s a view that captures the soul of Krabi.

For those who prefer a peaceful moment on the ground, the lower temple area offers shaded gardens, statues, and meditation caves surrounded by tropical plants and flowers. The Tiger Cave Temple reflects Krabi’s balance between natural beauty and spiritual tradition, making it a highlight of the Krabi City Tour.

Nature and Local Life at Tha Pom (Klong Song Nam)

Another hidden gem included in this experience is Tha Pom Klong Song Nam, an enchanting mangrove forest and freshwater stream located outside Krabi Town. The name means “Two-Water Canal,” where freshwater from the mountains meets saltwater from the sea, creating a unique ecosystem. The clear, emerald-green water reveals the roots of mangrove trees twisting elegantly beneath the surface. Walking along the wooden boardwalk through the forest is both peaceful and educational, allowing visitors to appreciate the harmony of nature and the local community’s eco-tourism efforts.

Swimming is now restricted to protect the environment, but the scenery alone is mesmerizing — crystal water, lush greenery, and the sounds of birds echoing through the trees. Phuket Travel Store’s Krabi City Tour ensures travelers experience this beautiful natural site responsibly while supporting the community’s sustainable tourism efforts.

Local Markets and Everyday Life

Back in Krabi Town, there’s time to explore local shops, handicraft stores, and small cafés that serve the region’s specialties — from sweet Thai iced tea to freshly made desserts. The Krabi Night Market is also a favorite stop for many travelers staying longer, filled with street food, handmade souvenirs, and friendly local vendors. It’s an excellent place to sample local life and pick up unique gifts to take home.

Ayutthaya

We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.

Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.

After lunch, we will take you to “Tha Pom” (Klong Song Nam). Tha Pom is a mangroves forest area where the stream runs through it. The water in the stream is so clear that you can see the bottom of it. Many tourists like to come here to swim in the lovely cold and clear water. However, we are not allowed to swim anymore in the stream because the Tha Pom Community wants the tree roots to grow up again. However; we can still admire the beauty of this place by walking on the wooden walkway through the mangrove forest. Then we will take you back to the hotel to relax.
