About Krabi and Krabi province
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. Krabi province 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.

Arrive at 6 to watch 1000s of bats emerging from the cave. Truly spectacular.
27/02/2026 20:01This was a surprise with steps that lead up into a large cave. It was said this was the props left over from the film Around the World in 80 Days with Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan. Great boat ride to reach the cave very enjoyable but beware of the monkeys who will steal food or anything else. Highly recommended first class.

04/04/2025 16:00Once you arrive from a boat (we took the small boat crossing from the Mangrove walkway for 100 baht per person, haggled down from 300baht) it's a short walk to the bat cave, if you have a head torch. It's very small, and as you can imagine, stinks of sulfur. I wouldn't suggest touching anything beyond the rock to climb into the Cave, and sanitise afterwards.
The bats mainly crowd around the far corner at the back, but after a certain point it's clear where you shouldn't go further in.
There are hundred of bats in here, really worth having a look if you are interested!
Amazing cave, easy hike & nice Staglacite formations
