Krabi Cycling at Koh Klang Half Day Tour
Experience a unique combination of cycling, local culture, and sightseeing on this exciting half-day tour to Koh Klang Island, located just across the river from Krabi Town. Operated by Phuket Travel Store, this eco-friendly excursion gives visitors the chance to explore the natural beauty and authentic lifestyle of a traditional Muslim fishing village in southern Thailand.
Discover the Authentic Side of Krabi
Unlike most travelers who stick to beaches and islands, this Krabi cycling tour invites you to explore the real heart of southern Thailand — Koh Klang Village, a peaceful community that remains untouched by mass tourism. This charming island lies just across the Krabi River from Krabi Town and can be reached in only a few minutes by a traditional longtail boat. Once you cross the water, it feels like stepping back in time to a world of simplicity, hospitality, and beautiful rural scenery.
Koh Klang is one of the most fascinating cultural destinations in Krabi Province, known for its eco-friendly lifestyle and warm Muslim community. The island covers around 16,000 rai (6,400 acres) and is home to four villages, about 900 houses, and more than 5,000 residents. The people here live mainly from fishing, rice farming, and handicrafts such as batik painting, mat weaving, and boat building. Every corner of this island reflects a way of life that has remained unchanged for generations.
Your cycling adventure in Krabi begins with a hotel pickup between 08:00–08:30, followed by a scenic longtail boat ride across the river. As the engine hums and the morning breeze brushes your face, you’ll see the bustling Krabi town fade away behind you, replaced by tranquil waters, mangrove forests, and wooden stilt houses standing above the tide.
A Journey Through Local Life and Culture
As you pedal through the island, your English-speaking tour guide will share fascinating insights into the history, traditions, and daily lives of the local community. You’ll pass by mosques, schools, and small workshops, giving you an intimate look at how people live in harmony with nature.
One of the highlights of this tour is visiting a farmer’s community, where you can see small industries like chicken farms, rice fields, and local handicraft production. Depending on the day, you might see people weaving mats, making batik fabric, or building small wooden boats. You’ll also get the chance to spot coastal birds and other wildlife along the mangrove-lined waterways, an essential part of the island’s ecosystem.
Throughout the journey, there are plenty of stops to rest, take photos, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Your guide will also show you some hidden spots and scenic viewpoints, making this a truly personalized Krabi cycling experience.
Taste the Flavors of Local Life
After exploring the village, you’ll stop at a small local restaurant for a refreshing break. Enjoy seasonal fruits, Thai snacks, and cold drinks while taking in the views of the surrounding countryside. This relaxing pause is a great opportunity to chat with your guide, exchange travel stories, and learn even more about Krabi’s local culture.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
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.
