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.

You don't need to buy tickets in advance. Take plenty of water with yourself - no chance to get some on the way up (neither on the top). 1260 stairs is a bit challenging but totally worth it!
28/02/2026 21:33Definitely do not need to pre purchase tickets for this activity but be ware that it is definitely not for everyone unless you don't mind taking a lot of breaks while climbing to the top of 1260 steps if your fitness is not the best.
The temple also provides free water at the bottom and top of the climb to the viewpoint so stock up before attempting to do it.
The climb is steep and the hill side is exposed to the sun which can make the railings very hot to the touch. There are several sections shaded the trees though.
Views at the top are amazing with huge plains on one end Vs mountais on the other. To the north you can see Khao Phanom Bencha.
The highest mountain in Krabi Province (about 1,397 meters / 4,583 ft) and looks stunning when top is hidden in the clouds.
If you're planning on doing the caves as well I'd recommend doing them first since they are a separate trail with only 150 steps and after doing the whole 1260 up and down we were pretty drained and did not enjoy them as much as we should have.
Tiger Cave Temple is absolutely worth it. The climb consists of 1,260 steps, and some sections are quite steep, so it can feel challenging at times, but it’s still very doable for most people. The ascent is shorter than it sounds, I reached the top in about 25 minutes.
The entrance fee is fair, and the views from the top are beautiful and rewarding. The best advice is to go before sunrise or at sunrise. At that time it’s cooler, there are far fewer people, and the whole experience feels much more peaceful and enjoyable.
If you go early, the light, the temperature, and the atmosphere make it an especially lovely experience. Highly recommended.
You must visit this temple if you come to Krabi. I also recommend coming in the morning (8-9 AM) because after this hour it gets hot and crowder. This is important because the road up is not easy. The stairs are narrow and high, making the climb a bit difficult. You have free water at the bottom and on the top of the climb. Also you need to pay attention at the monkeys, because they will try to steal things from you :). The dogs are good boys.
18/11/2025 16:46Climbed the famous Tiger Cave Temple in Krabi and it was definitely a challenge — over 1,200 steep steps to reach the top! But every step was worth it. At the summit, a huge golden Buddha overlooks the most incredible 360° views of Krabi’s limestone mountains, jungle, and the Andaman Sea. 
The temple itself is peaceful and surrounded by caves and forest where monks meditate, giving the whole place a very spiritual atmosphere. 
Sweaty climb, shaky legs, but one of the most rewarding viewpoints in Thailand. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Krabi. ⛰️✨
