About Krabi and Ao Nang
Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Ao Nang sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.
Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.

Tucked away on the east north side of Railay beach, this cave is very fun to visit. What I appreciated the most was that it has a raised pathway and it’s quite easy to visit (no need to crawl at all!!). I also loved the beauty of the interior and to actually be able to look at the sleeping bats hanging from the ceiling!!!!
But don’t forget to bring your money; it’s a national park and they maintain the site so it has a cost to it.
Great cave. There are bats inside, which was a highlight. The cave itself has some beautiful formations and the paths are well maintained. It felt worth the 200 bhat entrance fee for us, but I’m sure that value depends on how much you enjoy caves.
27/12/2025 21:59This was a beautiful surprise to find bats inside the cave which I wasn’t expecting. But I saw some review videos that showed people shining flashlights at the bats resting at the top. Please don’t do be that person. Respect the animals, bats are so sensitive to light. And it can damage their eyes. I get you want to see them flying around. But do some research before being a dumb tourist that does whatever they want.
29/10/2025 23:45The cave itself was really cool. I absolutely love bats and to look around so we were about 15-20 minutes inside. The only remark I have is the price. I think 200 baht is way too much. If you don’t mind the price and really love caves, I’d say do it! If you’re just a tourist looking for something new, don’t do this cave. There are plenty of free caves on the Island.
19/09/2025 15:44The main concern of other reviews is value for money. For me personally, the cave was very exciting, although it is small. Where else but on a tropical island would you slow down, have a nice fruit shake, and take a stroll inside a cave filled with bats? Highly recommended.
