The first cave, pronounced tham in Thai, you will visit is Tham Lod which has a spectacular tunnel through the karst that is richly adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. The entrance to the passage is overhung by a curtain of jungle vines.
The limestone cliffs surrounding the cave are richly adorned with endemic palms and cycads. Continuing from Tham Lod it is just a few minutes paddle to the Big Headed Ghost Cave Tham Pee Hua Toe where a human skull was found that was much lager than normal size, hence the name.
More extensive evidence of ancient occupation can be found in the nearly 100 pictographs adorning the cave walls and ceilings. Both real and mythological people and animals are depicted in rich ocher, yellow and black pigments. There are also vast numbers of seashells embedded within the sedimentary rock and littering the cave floor, which may have been refuse of prehistoric cave dwellers.
Some of the stalactite formations are also of special interest as they bend radically towards the light and an unspoiled view of the mangroves, limestone crags and sea that has changed little since the time this was home or a ceremonial site for ancient seafaring people.
Ao Thalane is located about midway along the coast between Than Bok Khorani and Krabi Town. This is a bay of mangrove passageways which we think are the most beautiful in all of Thailand.
Recently opened for tourism, and possibly destined to become a national park, this setting is superb for having a first-time encounter with this ecosystem rich in tropical flora and fauna that includes king fishers, little herons and crab-eating macaques. A highlight are the narrow channels cutting through two towering karst formations that are passable except at extreme low tide
Hong island stands out of the most beautiful islands of the Andaman coast. As your approach from the sea you'll be impressed by the towering limestone formations, crystal clear water & power white sand. Koh Hong comes from the Thai word Koh meaning "island" and Hong meaning "room". Within this beautiful island is a hidden lagoon used by local fisherman and also where bird nests are collected. The coral reefs here are simply amazing with their abundance of brightly colored tropical fish.

Ao Luk is known for mangrove forests and caves and is great for exploration and easy-go-adventurs. Ao Luk is approximately 40 km north of Krabi Town on the road to Phang Nga Town and has a well-preserved natural environment. This area is quite rural and contains Than Bok Khorani National park and Khao Phanom Bencha National park. Tall limestone cliffs similar to those found in Phang Nga Bay are throughout the lush landscape. Along the coast the mangrove forests and limestone cliffs present sea-kayakers an exciting tropical adventure. Ao Luk is a authentic southern Thailand town along the Krabi-Phang Nga highway.
