Wat Tham Sua is also known as Tiger Cave. Inside the cave there are what appears to be tiger paw prints in the stone. It's situated in the middle of a lush forest with enormous and ancient trees.

The surrounding area is covered with large trees most of them hundreds of years old, particularly in the Khiriwong Valley. Mountains are on all sides and there are many smaller caves. Walk straight through and take the steps to your left, opposite the white Buddha statue. The main tourist attraction in the temple complex is the 1,272 step climb up a limestone mountain to see the footprint of the Buddha. Even if you are in good shape the heat and humidity make this a difficult hike. Once you make it to the top, you are rewarded with stunning 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside and the Andaman Sea.

Wat Tham Sua is 9 km. north of Krabi Town.

The staff speak hardly any English, however they are friendly and attentive.

Right in the center of Krabi you can find a large intact mangrove forest and a canal system running through it.

Mangroves are a specious Eco-system at coastlines and rivers. Fish, crabs, snakes, kingfishers, otters and monkeys inhabit mangroves. They can grow up to 20 meters and with their roots they protect the coastlines from erosion.
