We visited here on the way back to penang from KL. It was RM60 per boat for 4 people but they let us have 5 people cuz we're a family. It was nice and cold but scary even tho nothing bad happened. I wouldn't recommend for kids and senior but maybe calm adults. The fireflies were kinda small because it just rained that time. They let u on a boat, go to a bush about 500m away to see the fireflies in the water. The boat was paddling boat not engine. They provide you life jackets incase of emergency. It was scary at first but it became ok Scary cuz it was only available at night and the water was dark. Luckily it was a moon night , butthe boat driver say moon night worse cuz harder to see the fireflies

The best place in town to see fireflies! An incredible experience! They take you quietly down the river in a small boat (maximum four people) which makes the experience much more environmentally friendly. We recommend it and would definitely repeat! Much better than any other crowded tour!

Good experience for the family members to watch the fireflies. Very enjoyable sampan cruise along the river. The staff are friendly and courteous to the visitors. Safety jackets are compulsory to be worn during the cruise.

I love this unique experience, so quite so peace rolling the boat on the stream while witnessing the firefly, river, mangrove, night sky and trees. Highly recommend to you that looking for unique experiences. My boy love it too!

I loved this special experience—the night sky, the gentle breeze, and the twinkling fireflies. It was so quiet and peaceful, with only the faint sound of the oars in the water.

Magical experience. The whole process was dark and quite, it's where serenity comes in. - Counter opens at 7.30pm - 10.30pm - 1 sampan could fit 4 persons and costs RM 60 - Can walk-in, no pre-book needed - Payment by cash at the counter or Visa MasterCard at the kiosk - Lifejacket provided

Took 'sampan' for a short tour to see fire flies. Max. 4 pax per boat. Very good tour guide to explain about the type of Fireflies, history, etc. But really nearby the jetty only. Unfortunately, not many Fireflies. A bit disappointed.

best to come around late May, dry and harvest season and recommended to come around 3pm, as 5pm things can get crowded and hazardous when there’s many cars and motorcyclist drive safely as there’s no proper sign and small roads

Large parcels of green paddy field on the opposite side of the beach....definitely worthwhile to spend time to take in the views and enjoy a drink at one of the many homestays or hotels....every soothing to the eyes and body.

Sekinchan, located in the Sabak Bernam district of Selangor, is a charming coastal town famous for its vast paddy fields, fresh seafood, and peaceful village atmosphere. Known as one of Malaysia’s main rice-producing areas, Sekinchan offers a picturesque countryside experience with golden rice fields stretching to the horizon, especially beautiful during the harvest season. Visitors can explore the Paddy Gallery, enjoy local seafood at fishing village restaurants, and visit the popular Wishing Tree by the Redang Beach. Combining natural beauty, agriculture, and coastal culture, Sekinchan is an ideal weekend getaway for those seeking tranquility and authentic rural Malaysian charm.

I went there to join an running event for the first time. their scenery is nice and have plenty of place we can stopped by to take very nice picture

A popular place to visit if you're around Kuala selangor where you're surrounded by the famous paddy field in gold colours when it's about to harvest. Be sure to come with umbrella or sunglasses , weather maybe too harsh or rains. Be careful with the harvesting truck as well . Good place for photography and visits.

Enjoyed a hot day trip!! Good sea food and drinks available. Shopped a lot of rice for gifting and self. There are coconut and guava farm around. Worth a visit

Sekinchan is definitely worth the visit. It is a small beach side fishing village with golden paddy fields if you come during the right season 🌾 It is best to visit early in the morning to avoid heat or during dusk the golden hour for beautiful shots 💚💛

Absolutely stunning! Loved every minute of our family's 2 hours at Bharat.. the views, the walk... and the tea of course! (Ginger was my favourite!) I would absolutely recommend walking up the hill to the giant letters, but then continuing along the smaller path around the back that takes you to a quieter area of the plantation. It was idyllic. That is, apart from the ATV quad bikes that tear along the route every so often.. what a shame the plantation feels it needs to invest in such an environmentally terrible form of entertainment for guests 😞 (The 5 star review remains though despite this let down!)

Visit on first November Mind blowing atmosphere and view. Greenery everywhere . Beautiful place to visit with family. Small cafes for tea , coffee and snacks. Benches placed so if you’re tired can sit and rest , park for kids , squad bikes , buggy rides Peace full place . Nice place for photography . Tickets 4 RM for adults (by walk) 20 RM for adults (buggy) Free tea pack for each ticket.

Entrance fee is RM4 per adult (walk-in), and RM20 if you opt for the buggy ride. The café isn’t as polished as the Boh Tea Centre, but it still offers decent options, a variety of teas, pau, cakes, ice cream, and puffs. The walking path is fairly steep, though there are plenty of benches to rest along the way. Parking on weekends can be tricky; you should leave your car along the roadside.

Such a great place with soothing vibe and serene environment located at Cameron Highland in the district Pahang.You may visit this beautiful place with your friends and family.You may purchase different tea pack from here. Recommended to visit this place.

Bharat Tea Plantation is a wonderful place where you can enjoy a real view of the lush tea plantations right from the window with a cup of masala tea on the table, of course! Haha, truly a great place to relax and take in the beauty of nature.

Mmm nothing special. Too many flies. To me, quite expensive to get in and buggy ride if you choose walking ok but u will be very tired. I think just taking photos outside the parking road is enough.

Weekdays are better to visit Cameron Highland. Weekends will be jam-packed with people & vehicles. For RM4 (on foot) it was worth it to explore the tea plantation

Beautiful place and fun experience for all ages! Big Red Strawberry Farm is one of the best attractions in Cameron Highlands — clean, well-maintained, and filled with fresh strawberries you can pick yourself. The strawberries are sweet and juicy, and the café serves delicious strawberry desserts, waffles, and drinks. The hydroponic vegetable gardens and flower displays are lovely too! Staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. A must-stop for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and fresh strawberries! 🍓🌼☕

Great strawberry and flower plantation for the tourist attraction. Their snacks were cheap and delicious. You can ask for fresh strawberry juice and pancake. Definitely worth to visit. I found the greenies lettuce in the farm too, looked so delicious. Oh, a great place to take many pictures with your family and friends. Recommend to visit there. 👍

Pluck your own strawberries themed farm where you can pluck your strawberries directly. Upon purchasing the tickets, you will be given a scissor and a box in which you can pluck upto 1kg of strawberries. Located on a mountains, it takes alot if energy to reach here😂. After plucking they have a minimart where you can purchase strawberries, souvenirs. Good for families and children. Worth trying

Pretty relaxing and enjoyable experience of plucking strawberries. The farm was not too crowded when we visited. There are many pretty flowers in the farm too. Would recommend for a family trip.

It’s a great place to explore for those who love nature. It’s not that cold, you can use shorts and short sleeves. Best to wear shoes as there’s uphill walking.

The road is steep so make sure your car brakes are working well and you know how to handle steep climbs. I have visited other farms previously. But this one was far more organised and well kept than many. Strawberries were luscious and tasty too.

Came here the second time recently and it was just as nice as the first. Love the flowers and the farm setup with the strawberry and lettuce picking spots as well. Also the strawberries from here were extremely sweet (in a good way!) even without the dipping honey/chocolate. If you come to Cameron you must come to Big Red. It's a rite of passage.

Parking is free but limited. The entrance fee is RM10 for Malaysian, and RM30 for foreigners. The trail is an easy walk with a wooden staircase and walkway, and the view from the top is beautiful. We went without a guide, so we didn't get to learn about the history of forest and plants. Be prepared for the cold temperatures and note that there are no toilets available.

-Trail lasted about 15 to 30 minutes -Its a Forest so there is lots of nature around and especially lots of moss trees, when we reached the viewing tower view was breathtaking I've attached a picture of the view -I thoroughly enjoyed the nature walk; it was a pleasant experience and is highly recommended. Please note we went when it was not raining and early morning so if you go when it's raining the steps may be slippery so be careful also I wore shorts I was cold initially but when start walking it's okay 👍 Also you need to buy tickets online

Lovely place! No need for a sunny weather, being inside the clouds makes it even more magical :) No mosquito but a bit chilly so take a jacket or sweater. Entrance fee is 30RM/person, trail is very easy, around 30min. You need a 4WD to go up there and down (30-45min each way) so I recommend to book your transport in advance (private driver or book a tour) because you probably won’t find a Grab to take you and walking there is not really possible (road with no sidewalk on several km).

Well, if this place happens to be on your hiking or walking trail, then yes, do visit it. ​The idea of driving to this place, especially after four hours in traffic, is baffling. It is perhaps 100 meters of crowded boardwalk, and while the moss is there, it is not overwhelming. I saw comparable moss on my hiking trails (10, 6, 12).

Compare to sunny weather and raining foggy weather, I prefer the rainy one. You’re literally in the cloud, everything looks so magical. I’m so obsessed with the view. Even though you can’t see anything far away, the view surrounds you and it’s already made you amazed. I hope heaven looks like this. If you think it’s about to rain, you better bring your own raincoat, but if you don’t, you need to pay RM5 for their disposable raincoat.

Had been wanting to come here ever since I saw a poster many years back. Except I had wanted to hike here- I was quite surprised to find out that the trail is a bunch of wooden steps. Had fun walking about and clicking pics at every corner. The ticket price is rather high though - 30rm per person for foreigners regardless of whether you have an iKad or not.

Stunning view on the top and the trail n.1 which brings you here It's gonna leave you breathless. Just pay attention to the tickets, if you reach the top of the mossy forest with a rented scooter few guys in the parking lot will take pictures of your plate and instantly send that to the policeman nearby. Just leave the scooter at the bottom of the main road or at the beginning of the trail.

Had an absolutely awesome time here. We only did the dry walk yet it was totally worth the trip. You don't need to book in advance. The entire walk way to platform 5 was well posted with cement. There are quite a lot of stairway so if you are not so for then not advisable to take tour 2. The toilets are well equipped with shower facilities and i must say it is one of cleanest public toilets I've seen.

Visiting Gua Tempurung was such an adventurous and memorable experience. The cave is huge and beautifully maintained, with impressive limestone formations that make every step inside feel like a discovery. The tour was well organized and safe, with clear paths and knowledgeable guides who explained the history and geology in an engaging way. It’s both educational and exciting, especially if you enjoy nature and exploring unique places. We booked a Grab to get here, and the fee was around 50 SGD including 3 hours of waiting time, which was very convenient and worth it. Walking inside the cave gave me a mix of wonder and awe — a truly unforgettable highlight of the trip!

Had a really good time. You need to pay an entrance fee, but it’s worth it. The cave has 5 tracks to choose from – 2 are casual and good for an easy walk, while the other 3 are extreme tracks where you need to wear special gear. I tried it out and it was exciting. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of adventure.

Definitely worth to visit.It's amazing!The place surrounding,environment very clean ,the vibe is there,quite chill relax.The price ticket is cheap &reasonable.Gua Tempurung is the hidden germ place should come here to explore more. We just went there during weekend & bought ticket for dry path.This place full of staircase and senior might need to be aware as well as the dry path take around 1hour +（as we're taking some photo）.Please wear sport shoes ,hand towel or extra clothes as I really sweat a lot during tat day drip.💯😊😁🎀

Took Tour 1, which was the (supposedly) easy route. Unique experience. Enjoyed the views of the nature sculptured beauty of the cave. More signages to provide more information would be great.

Beautiful caves. That blinking colourful led light is kinda unnecessary and it would be much better if it was the yellowish light. Eh, if you wanna visit, don't la go and conteng the cave wall like uncivilised caveman. Noone cares whether if your whole family went there or you love your girlfriend or not...

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ The free public toilet at Gua Tempurung can be a tad confusing. When you approach the toilet complex you will see signage indicating the ladies is on the left and gent is on the right. BUT!!! Be aware that the both left and right side on the front of the toilet complex are for ladies. The gent sign on the right is indicating that the PATH to the gent toilet is on the right side of the complex. You need to walk around the building on the right side of the toilet complex, circling to the back to reach the gent's toilet. Obviously I made this warning because I (a man) walked right into the ladies... 😅😅😅 Anyway, This is a nice place. Have multiple level of difficulties. 5 stages in total. Stage 1 is very manageable for older children, poor fitness adults and very fit elderly. Stage 2 suitable for youths and fit adults. Stage 3,4 and 5 need protective gears and involves crawling and wading in water. I only managed stage 1. Already out of breath by the end of that stage. Involves quite a few up and down flights of stairs. Stage 1 ends where stage 2 begins. I shudder at the steepness of the stairs. The latter stages loops back to the entrance following the waterway below the stage 1 walkway. If want to tackle the latter stages, comes with proper attire and be prepared to get wet and dirty.

Good choice for those who wants to go to the theme park and hot springs. The room is spacious and all the amenities are good. The wifi is quite weak, sometimes no connection. Friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast is quite basic. More varieties would be better. The toilet should be improved. In the evening the water flow is very weak. Especially the water heater. Either too cold or too hot cannot make it in the middle. Please kindly fix this.

Stayed at the Sunway Lost World Hotel for a night for SGD102 with access to the night park at Lost World of Tambun and breakfast provide as well which was a great deal. The Lost World of Tambun was supposed to enjoy their hot spring la but hor I see already I scare sia. Like many people nvm looks very eeeeee 🫣 I feel kids will like it so much more loh. But for the price we paid it's alright la. Got animal to see, we anyhow walk walk see see also spent nearly 2hrs inside 😅 Hotel room Aircon is power, toothbrush soft and good. Shampoo not good will make hair like grass but their hairdryer strong so ended up not too bad. But got like those drain flies la 🫣 Overall a decent stay I would say.

Stay one night in exotic triple room, room size just good for 3 persons. For me, everything in the room is ok. Room comes with 3 tickets for Lost World Night Park. If compare to 9 years ago, i think there is an improvement in the park overall. The petting zoo is beyond my expectation, an animal paradise for kids. There are more food stall compared to years before. One needs to pay for the food at a cashier counter first, then go to the food kiosk and show them your receipt. A good place to spend a night, soaking in the hot pool, walking thru the park in dark etc. But but, the breakfast selection is quite limited, hope the management may consider to offer more variety of food such as local kuih or maybe more hot meal like fried rice, especially on Sundays.

Visited the Night Park during the holidays and unfortunately, it was quite underwhelming. The place was too crowded, making it hard to enjoy the attractions peacefully. The hot springs were not hot as expected - more like warm pools, which was disappointing since we came mainly for the relaxation. Crowd management could be improved, especially during peak seasons. Overall, the atmosphere was lively but the experience didn't meet expectations. Might be better to visit on a weekday if you prefer a more relaxing outing.

Total of 3 floors, with many rooms. The room we got was clean and spacious. One thing I like is that they give refill glass bottle in the room. Usually we get like only 2 500ml bottles. This they gave us 2 big glass bottle and unlimited refilled. The place is very near to the water theme park. We got to enjoy the park in the night with heated water pool.

It was the worst. Only cold water came out of the shower. I was told to wait 10 minutes, then 20 minutes, and in the end, only cold water came out all night. They said they couldn't change rooms because they were fully booked, so they just left it at that. Every time I contacted them, they were vague and hesitant. The next day, the manager came out, but he just smirked and didn't respond properly. He said he'd email me later, but I still haven't heard from him. I'll never go there again.

The hotel is already old and tired! The corridor is very narrow . The room not so bad, well equipped. But there are no place in lobby , this is my first experience of hotel where is the lobby and waiting zone so tiny and small! About the breakfast it’s average for 3 star hotel!

Very nice place. Xtahu pun Kene ada appointment for visit this place. But the in charge person very nice and we can visit this place. The guide explain about this mining museum very pleasantly. 3 floor building u have claim stairs for 2n 3 floor.

My first time to this place as an Ipohite. My family members have been multiple times bringing visitors here whenever they pop by. Reservation is required and can be done online. The tour is conducted in English and done professionally with some humor thrown in. Tour lasts exactly one hour and is not too draggy and boring. The museum is pretty well manicured considering it is a private initiative. Kudos and keep it up!!!

Need to book online through their website ipohworld, even if no entrance fee (donation possible). The visit is systematically with a guide who prints out the list of guests. His explanations are clear with a nice sense of humor. Pet Soo means mansion in Hakka dialect, so this place is a club for rich Hakka men in tin business founded in 1893. The notes, photos and maps are good quality. Only the wall drawings (tin exploitation system, tin dredger and so on) and the wax figures are low quality. As it’s a guided tour, need to follow the pace of the guide and cannot take your freedom to go back to a specific area of the 3 levels of the mansion.

Terrific place, a must go to understand local history and cultural heritage. The guided tour is fantastic, and I love the speaker’s patience as he tells the story of Ipoh. Definitely five stars for the guide for being so professional. Just wanted to say that I think one of the introductions on F2 seems to in wrong, see picture, about the Hakka people, the map and EN version seems to be accurate, saying that they originated from Shanxi山西，but the Chinese version mistakenly wrote Shaanxi 陕西, which is another province. Hope there’s somebody that can correct this

History of ipoh through tin mining period. Great guide tour. Need to book it online. It's free, but a donation of 10MYR suggested and is very reasonable. Very informative guide and good exhibition of life during the mining periods. Recommend.

Impressive place to learn about the history of Ipoh and hakka gang during the early time. Guided tour very comprehensive, display items inside very nice n well maintained. We did not do any booking, were passby n allow to join the tour in 10mins.

interesting, remember to make online reservation to secure the place.

It's station. It's whity, clean and modern. It looks very nice. The park in front of the station is very spacy and nice, but the sunshine was too strong, so not so many people were there Lol. Over all, it's very good. Actually the ticket counter's service was also really good.

Breathtaking architecture. A unique blend of Islamic motifs and British colonial design. This railway station is also steeped in history. There are informative posters and signs found throughout the entire station. I would recommend coming a day earlier than your intended departure to purchase your KTM or ETS tickets. That was what I did for my short trip to Taiping.

It was a smooth and quiet ride and the seats (platinum) were fairly comfortable. It doesn't indicate on the ticket itself which platform's train to board so do ask the staff if you aren't sure. The system is somewhat primitive but it works - while QR is used for passengers to enter through the gates, staff would place a physical printed card (with the next train's scheduled arrival time) near the entrance to indicate that it's time for passengers to line up for the train. There would also be a short announcement through the loudspeakers. There is no need to be there too early like in the airports as the process is fairly simple (just don't miss the train!). From my observation, the trains come and leave on time. While I liked the heritage feel of this old building, some parts looked like they needed maintenance. At the front of the building is a park with what seemed like an old, dysfunctional water fountain in the middle of it. You'd also have to pay 30 sen to enter the toilets in the building, so it's best to use the ones in the ETS trains if you're traveling.

It is a grand looking station. The landscaping outside is well maintained and there is a small World War Two memorial in one corner to commemorate the war death. The station itself looks crammed when there are passengers waiting to board. There is even a hotel next to it which I am not sure if it is in operation. Nice place to walk around for while to imagine what it must be like in the past.

The architecture of this building is very unique for a railway station. Never thought it as one at first. One of the landmarks of Ipoh. Located at the center of the town so it's easy for people to find. Very beautiful place especially at night.

Historical railway station. Always nice and clean. Quite spacious and easy to get a seat. Organized area for pick up and drop off. Always nice traveling through Ipoh Railway Station. Always nice to be back in Ipoh after 2 years. Nothing has changed other than the new fancy turn styles that scan your ticket QR code. Washrooms are still reasonably clean and all COVID protocols and best practices were being observed. Never gets old to come back home to Ipoh! Nothing ever changes much at the train station but it is still well maintained and free washrooms today! Bonus! Feels great to be back!

Great to be back here again after away for so many years...thanks to COVID. A very smooth train ride from KL. Always a busy train station and credit to KTM for the very clean coaches and station. Love the heritage look & feel of the station. Glad to see Ipoh so green, lush and well taken care off by the Ipoh council. Keep up the good work.....a sure bet that will boost state tourism.

Taiping Lake Gardens, located in the town of Taiping in Perak, Malaysia, is a historical and serene retreat that dates back to 1880, making it one of the oldest public gardens in Malaysia. Spanning approximately 64 hectares, this lush park was originally a tin mining site, which was later transformed into a beautifully landscaped garden. The gardens feature scenic lakes, winding pathways, and a rich variety of tropical flora, making it a perfect spot for leisurely walks, jogging, or simply relaxing amidst nature. Its historical charm is enhanced by the colonial-era structures and well-maintained gardens, offering visitors a glimpse into Malaysia's botanical and cultural heritage. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the scenic beauty of the lakes and gardens, makes Taiping Lake Gardens a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Best park in town (and probably in the entire Perak state!). The park has lush green hills in the backdrop with ponds and lakes everywhere your eyes can see. If you come at the right season, there are plenty of blooming lotuses too. If you're lucky, you might get to see a few colourful birds (but beware of the monkeys!). There are bikes for hire, boating activities, and a heritage trail you can follow. Highly recommend for morning walks and evening strolls.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful parks I’ve ever visited in Malaysia. Taman Tasik Taiping is truly a gem — surrounded by lush greenery, giant rain trees, and a scenic lake that reflects the sky like a mirror. Perfect place for morning walks, jogging, cycling, or just sitting under a tree and soaking in nature. The air is fresh, the atmosphere calm, and the whole area is very well maintained. It’s also a great spot for photography — especially during sunrise or just after rain when the mist lingers over the water. There are also swan boats for rent, a children’s playground, and it’s conveniently located near the Taiping Zoo and the Taiping Lake Gardens. Family-friendly and relaxing — a must-visit if you’re in Taiping!

Nature’s Masterpiece – A Morning at Taiping Lake Gardens Taiping Lake Gardens never fails to impress. With its towering rain trees lining the lakes, gently arching branches sweeping over the road like nature’s own cathedral, this place is nothing short of magical. I visited in the morning, and the crisp air, soft mist, and the mirror-like lakes reflecting the sky made for a picture-perfect start to the day. The park is well-maintained, with wide walkways for joggers and cyclists, and benches that invite you to sit a while and just take it all in. Families strolled by, kids laughed near the playground, and couples snapped photos beneath the hanging roots of century-old trees—each corner here feels like a quiet postcard. Taiping has many charms, but the Lake Gardens is its heart. It’s not just a park; it’s a space where time slows down, where history and nature meet in graceful harmony. Whether you're from near or far, it’s a place that welcomes you with open arms—and leaves you refreshed in soul and spirit. Appreciate you stopping by! For more travel tales, hidden spots, and behind-the-scenes bites from places like this, hop over to my profile — the journey continues there.

Enjoy the scenery which you may not find elsewhere, Aunthetic picture of Lake Gardern Taiping was captured by me this evening , this beautiful view caught after rain, You will not regret visiting this place for your healing, excersise or picnic with family

“Finally visited Taiping Lake Gardens and it was beautiful. We went at night, so cycling was already closed, but walking around the park was lovely. The nature, the surroundings, and the peaceful vibes made it such a nice experience.”

Gorgeous park! Absolutely stunning views. The 2 coloured lake on each side of a little pathway after the bigger bridge was absolutely serene , tingling your senses! We even rented a bike to ride! Good price too. So pretty!!!

To compare my previous visit in 2021, presently the zoo has not been well maintained with many cages/enclosures are empty and facilities not in good condition. The animals look gloomy, few are skinny and few are obviously can be seen having external injury. Very pity to see their conditions. The trams are all look like new / refurbished, but really hope the welfare/facilities of the animals also heavily taken into account as well. Hopefully the management can do their best to overcome all these issues.

The zoo is beautiful and incredibly spacious, set on a massive 36-acre site with a natural lake and streams running through it. Instead of feeling like concrete enclosures, the animal exhibits are designed to mimic their natural habitats, nestled within lush rainforests and greenery. It feels more like a walk through a beautiful nature park where you just happen to encounter amazing wildlife. We saw a various array of animals, from the majestic Malayan tigers and powerful African lions to graceful giraffes and playful orangutans. The "Elephants of the Perak River" exhibit was a particular highlight! The sheer variety of both local and international wildlife is impressive. But the absolute must-do is the Night Safari! It was a magical experience to see nocturnal animals like hyenas and owls become so active under the special "moonlight" lighting. The sounds of the jungle at night were unforgettable. A word of advice: the place is big, so make use of the free tram service or rent a buggy. We spent a full day here and loved every minute. Highly recommended for families, couples, and anyone who appreciates nature and wildlife in a beautiful, well-maintained setting!

Zoo was interesting, simple place. Please bring umbrellas or use caps is you plan to walk around. Tram service were prompt and those who wish to just see the animal for a glance can take the ride. Animal was not found in the present heat condition, most of them were in their shades. Liked the guide who was driving the tram. He was good at giving information. He interact with our kids nicely and jokes with them. As for the place, they could have improved it more and made it even more beautiful. Do not expect to see lots of animals.

The entrance fee is RM16, and RM20 for the Night Safari. At the start, there’s a car that takes you around the zoo, but it drives quite fast, so you don’t really get to see much. After that, you can walk around on your own. There are a lot of monkeys, so do be careful. Maintenance wise, it’s not very good — some dirty water, mosquitoes, and quite a few areas are closed off, maybe due to lack of zookeepers. Still, there are quite a lot of animals to see, like giraffes, elephants, swans, orangutans, cassowary (the “killer bird”), and even capybara! Overall, it’s still quite fun to hang out here with friends, family, or your partner. Just don’t expect it to be very well maintained.

Interesting Experience, but Limited Interaction Overall a good experience! You can’t really touch or get close to the animals since everything’s behind cages. I recommend visiting during the day to see more animals.

The zoo is relatively clean, and the animals look healthy and well cared for. It was a bit too dark to explore on our own. Therefore we joined the complimentary tram tour - it was informative and engaging — definitely worth it.

Out of my expectation, the zoo and animals are well-managed. The animals' coat fur are beautiful implying they have been taken care well. When you go you will first ride a toured safari train. Saw tiger, lions, varieties of birds, zebra, giraffe, tapir, sunbear, orangutan, hippo, rhino etc. Very satisfied.

Big beach stretch for miles.. Unfortunately not so clean. Lots of halal foods for the Muslims, not a problem to be here. Cleanliness would be an issue, difficult to find trash bins too.. Maybe to get the people to bring back the trashes but it doesn't really help.

Beautiful landmark on Samila Beach and a must-see when visiting Songkhla. The Golden Mermaid Statue is iconic and perfect for photos — go in the late afternoon or at sunset for the best light and cooler weather. The beach is relaxing with stalls nearby for snacks and souvenirs. It can get crowded on weekends, so be patient if you want a clear photo.A quick but memorable stop — great for enjoying the sea breeze, snapping a few pictures, and soaking in local legend.

Visited the Golden Mermaid Statue during my trip to Songkhla and it was a truly memorable experience. This statue is one of the most iconic landmarks of Songkhla, and seeing it in person felt very special. Located right on the beautiful Samila Beach, the statue offers a great spot to take photos and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The environment around the statue is very well maintained. The beach is clean, the sand is soft, and the area feels calm and relaxing. It is a lovely place to spend some time just sitting down and enjoying the sea breeze. The view of the ocean is beautiful, especially in the morning or late afternoon when the lighting makes the scenery even more picturesque. The Golden Mermaid itself is quite stunning. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and it has a unique charm that draws both locals and tourists. There’s something magical about its story as well — the mermaid is said to be part of a local legend, which makes visiting the statue feel more meaningful. Many visitors, including myself, took time to take photos here, and it’s almost like a must-do activity when you are in Songkhla. Even though this is a popular tourist spot, it doesn’t feel too crowded most of the time, and the atmosphere is peaceful. There are some vendors nearby selling drinks, snacks, and souvenirs, which adds to the convenience if you want to spend more time there. Overall, I would give the Golden Mermaid Statue 4 out of 5. It’s a beautiful spot to appreciate both the culture and the natural beauty of Songkhla. Whether you’re here for photography, sightseeing, or simply to relax by the beach, this place is definitely worth including in your itinerary.

The landmark of the songkhla city beach. The bronze statue of mermaid symbol of this place. It have his own history, can read at the board here.

Beautiful beach and breath taking. A good place to unwind and enjoy 🩵

An exotic place to visit. There's a mermaid statue and a cat and mouse statue. The beach area is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The view of the island across the street is also Instagrammable.

This statue looks nice considering it was placed there since 1966. Worth a visit if you're coming to the beach anyway!

Lanta Old Town is an incredibly charming and peaceful place where you can experience the true spirit of Thailand from years gone by. Wooden houses on stilts, colorful shops, local cafes, and restaurants overlooking the sea create a unique, intimate atmosphere. It's the perfect place to stroll, shop for handicrafts, and savor delicious food overlooking the bay. The locals are friendly, and the pace of life here is slower, allowing for complete relaxation. Lanta Old Town is a must-see for anyone wanting to see the authentic, tranquil side of Koh Lanta. 🌊🌺🛶

This was a fun visit to roam around a bit. There are many souvenir shops and the area definitely has a charm to it. The souvenir options are mostly the same in all of the shops, but sometimes you can find something unique and handmade as well. Most restaurants/bars have an outside area out to the water which has a great vibe. We went in the evening so it wasn’t too hot.

The town is beautifully quiet, with peaceful atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at ease. Small, locally owned shops line the small street, each offering something unique. The architecture is a mix of old wooden houses on stilts and is a must visit on the island. Easy to rent a bike for the day and your off exploring 😊

Charming little old town. A great place to buy souvenirs and crafts. We especially enjoyed Grandma's House, which offers delicious desserts and coffee, including options with oat milk or coconut milk.

lovely old town with genuine people. nice shops that are tourist related, yet locally owned. Worth a trip and we stayed overnight while maintaining our place on Khlong Klong beach.

A quaint old town of rows of wooden houses selling souvenirs for tourist. Clean and charming. Its a must visit to an otherwise quite a boring Ko Lanta. Those seeking quietness and tranquility would appreciate Ko Lanta. The beaches are numerous and endless. The downside of coming here during the off peak period is that most hotels and resorts are closed. Price of everything is above average ,maybe due to its touristic reasons. Well , been here , done that and thats it.

Very low key. They have a few souvenir shops and restaurants and you could probably walk across the whole thing in ten minutes. You can sit in a cafe and have lunch or coffee for hours and they won’t kick you out. It’s very laid back. Just find a spot to lounge and enjoy the sea view.

incredible visit at Lanta Animal Welfare centre. the work done here is incredibly important, and you can tell everyone who works here from the hosts to the volunteers are passionate about what they do, and rehabilitate animals in need aswell as providing much needed vaccinations and sterilisations to other animals all across thailand. the tour itself was super informative and interesting, going into the history of the center aswell as the logistics of caring for so many animals. a must visit if you love animals and want to support an amazing charity. Marika was the best host!

The Lanta Animal Welfare Visitor Centre is an amazing Organisation which is doing an amazing job at rehabilitating cats and dogs. They also have programs to sterilise and vaccinate the freeroaming animals on Koh Lanta. During the tour you get to see the cats, the dogs, learn about the history and even get a look into the intensive care unit. Afterwards you can continue to play with the cats and buy merch. All the profits go to keeping the centre open. Definitely worth a visit.

Great and important place to visit in Lanta! This organisation does really amazing things and the tour gives you a lot of information about what they do in detail. If you are thinking about adopting a dog there are options to rescue these beautiful pups too!

I came here twice, once in the morning to visit the refuge and the next day for the cooking class, everything was great!! I wanted to thank in particular the two guides, Noi and… unfortunately, I've forgotten the first name of the guide at the refuge (a tall, dark-haired man from UK :)) Thank you for all your explanations, your kindness, and above all, your passion. And of course thanks to the whole team for working in such a helpful place for animals, and thank for putting such wonderful things in place :) I don't know if I'll ever return to Koh Lanta, but if I do, I'll come back to visit the animals a third time!

Such an amazing experience , The team are incredible and so lovely. The tour itself is very informative and really interesting to learn about what the welfare sanctuary do both in koh lanta and in mobile units .As well as obviously getting the opportunity to meet super cute animals. I highly recommend for such a cheap price as a lovely morning experience. If I had the time to do the cooking class I definitely would as they put all the money you pay back into the welfare centre. What the team do here is amazing, a definite visit in koh lanta.

We did the cooking class with cocktails in the evening. It was a wonderful experience with Noi and the whole team. It wasn‘t just cooking. It was a whole journey within the thai kitchen and there features underlined with lots of laughing and Jokes. Thanks for your work and this awesome evening!

Very nice animal wellfare center with good Tour, small Shop and coffee Shop. Make sure to book IN ADVANCE ONLINE! Tour and Tour Guide was super chil and the 1h Tour flew by. Amazing place.

Pra-Ae Beach/Long Beach can be a beautiful beach that is wonderful for swimming....BUT you have to be in the right part of this beach.......good waves to play in and float...gets deep very fast but not any strong rip currents or any rocks ...at least that was me experience staying at Lanta Sand Resort for a couple weeks.......This was by far the most enjoyable water I have experienced in Thailand...which includes Ao Nang, Railay and Phi Phi so far. The resort does a great job of keeping their significant area of beach very clean which is not the case as you walk further south....Long Beach gets extremely dirty in spots and can get very rocky too.

Nice beach for walking, running and sunset🧡

This is a nice beach with a long stretch of beautiful sand. These photographs were taken in the early morning, so it's empty, and the place is all for you. It gets busy during the day, especially during sunset, where there are a lot of bars to sit from, and it enjoy the view. The demographic is mixed with young and old and families with kids. During the night, the beach is literally empty and quiet. There are massage places on the beach which is nice. It's a nice beach in my opinion to chill out.

One of the best beaches in Koh Lanta in terms of location and facilities around. It is a very long strip of yellow grayish sand with pine trees. The trees provide shadow and create relaxing ambience. Water is clean and pleasant, there are no rocks underwater like on other beaches, the entrance to the sea is deep enough even during low tides. Not so many people as on khlong dao beach, which makes it more private and peaceful. However beware of many jellyfish! I counted more than 7 in a few meters distance. My Thai friends told me these jellyfish are dangerous. But I also saw them on other Koh Lanta beaches. I guess, it depends on a season, or they were just brought by a storm.

My favorite beach on Koh Lanta. Long stretch of sand walkable for several kilometers. Great restaurants along the way (Lyms has excellent Pad Thai and Cashew chicken). Perfect sun sets as well. A must see beach if you are visiting the island. This type of place makes you never want to leave!

Sailboats, sunsets, volleyball, music, and good snorkeling at the north end makes this an ideal holiday beach.

Nice public beach. Really beautiful in the morning. The water is so clear

Maya Bay is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The sheer beauty of this iconic beach exceeded all my expectations, and it’s easy to see why it became so famous after being featured in The Beach. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I’d stepped into a postcard-perfect paradise. The first thing you notice is the dramatic limestone cliffs that surround the bay, creating a sense of secluded serenity. The turquoise water is so clear you can see the sandy bottom even from the boat. The sand is soft, powdery, and incredibly white—perfect for walking barefoot. The lush green landscape adds to the dreamlike vibe of the place. To help preserve its natural beauty, access to Maya Bay is now limited and boats aren’t allowed to dock directly on the beach. This system is a fantastic way to protect the ecosystem, but it also means you’ll need to swim or wade a short distance from the boat. Honestly, it’s worth the effort. I really appreciated the environmental efforts in place. There are signs everywhere reminding visitors not to litter or disturb wildlife, and some areas are roped off to protect the coral reefs. Our guide shared a lot about the bay’s history and its ecological importance, which made me feel like I was contributing to preserving this beautiful spot for the future. That said, the beach can get pretty crowded even with visitor limits. It’s best to go early in the morning to avoid the rush. You’ll also want to book your tour in advance since spots fill up quickly. If you enjoy snorkeling, you’ll love the waters around the bay. They’re full of marine life. It was both peaceful and exciting at the same time. it’s an experience. The stunning scenery, the crystal-clear water and the feeling of being surrounded by nature make it unforgettable. Even though it’s popular and can get crowded, it’s a must-visit if you’re in Phuket. A quick tip , bring a waterproof bag for your things, wear reef-safe sunscreen and don’t forget your camera. Trust me, you’ll want to remember every moment here.

This beach is absolutely stunning! The scenery is breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters, soft golden sand, and beautiful surroundings that make it feel like paradise. The atmosphere is vibrant, with plenty of activities and people enjoying the sun and sea. However, it can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours, making it a bit difficult to find a quiet spot. Despite the crowds, the beach’s natural beauty makes it well worth the visit. Just be prepared for a bustling environment, and if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, try to visit early in the morning or later in the evening.

Extremely popular and iconic beach, The sand is so soft, at the moment you are not permitted to swim in the bay in an effort to conserve the sharks. An inteseting walk from the docking area to the actual beach. Well worth a visit.

It’s an extremely beautiful beach, unfortunately destroyed by mass tourism. We departed for Maya Bay at 9:30 and arrived around 10:30, which turned out to be already way too late. Just hordes of tourists, you had to “wait in line” for your turn to take a picture/selfie of this superb beach. Sharks are there, too, so don’t go in too deep. In order to get the vibe of this beach, you need to arrive like at 8am or earlier, I guess.

Incredibly beautiful and very well-maintained. Although the place gets extremely crowded and everyone seems to be in a rush, it still remains neat, clean, and truly worth visiting.

This bay is absolutely breathtaking!! The water is so blue and the scenery around is beautiful! I was also lucky enough to see a black tip reef shark! Only problem is the crowds. I even went at 6am and there were still crowds. I would recommend just going in the afternoon so you can really get the full electric blue water experience. The crowds are the same no matter what.

Maya Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches and islands I've ever seen in my life. We were lucky enough to take a tour before sunrise, leaving at 5:30 AM, and arriving just as the island opened, so we had it all to ourselves. The beach is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water and dramatic cliffs surrounding it. While swimming is not allowed to protect the environment, it's the perfect place to enjoy the surroundings and admire the breathtaking landscape in peace. If you have the chance to visit, going early in the morning is highly recommended for a tranquil experience.

Beautiful Maya Bay Beach surrounded by a lagoon. When I visited here a few years ago, I was not allowed to land on the island due to environmental conservation reasons, so I am very happy to be able to return to this place and land on the island again. There are baby sharks on Maya Bay Beach, although I was not able to see them.

Stunning, amazing, unforgettable. With Maya beach, viking cave, pileh lagoon and amazing spot for snorkeling makes a perfect place to visit. I would highly recommend it

We experienced the Phi Phi Island Tour by AM Travel and Tour on 29th September with our family (2 adults and 2 kids). We booked it through PROUD Travel and the package cost us 5,200 THB, including an Indian buffet lunch. The trip started from the pier in Phuket, and after about a 45-minute speedboat ride, we reached Monkey Beach, where we spent around 40 minutes. The beach was clean, and it was fun watching the monkeys up close (though it’s best to keep some distance). Our next stop was Viking Cave, where we learned about its history and the famous bird’s nest collection — the boat stops close enough to take photos and enjoy the view. We then moved to Loh Samah Bay for about 45 minutes, followed by Pileh Cove, which was one of the highlights of the trip. The speedboat anchored in still turquoise waters near the cliffs, giving travelers the chance to swim and soak in the surroundings — truly beautiful and peaceful. The last stop was Khai Island, where we spent around 1.5 hours relaxing on the beach and enjoying some snacks and drinks. Unfortunately, we couldn’t visit Maya Bay due to bad weather conditions. The return journey was quite rough because of choppy waves, and those 40 minutes on the speedboat were honestly quite scary, especially with kids. Overall, it was a unique and memorable experience, offering a mix of scenic beauty and adventure. The crew was friendly and helpful throughout the trip. However, I’d advise travelers to check weather conditions before booking, as the sea can get rough and may affect both safety and comfort.

Phi Phi Leh is the smaller island in this region and home to the Pi leg lagoon and the Maya bay and beach. Stunning island and beaches. We were allowed to swim in the bay and lagoon area. The water here is more emerald than blue.

One of the top most tourist sites in Thailand.Ko Phi Phi Le is a stunning island in Thailand, known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and breathtaking limestone cliffs. It gained fame after being featured in the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The island is part of the Phi Phi Islands archipelago and is famous for its pristine beaches and snorkeling spots.

Ko Phi Phi Lee is a breathtaking paradise! The clear turquoise waters, stunning limestone cliffs, and vibrant marine life make it a must-visit. Snorkeling and exploring the hidden coves were unforgettable experiences. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers!

Wow, wow , Wow ....GO early (7-8 am) to avoid mid day crowds and heat, but......GO GO GO. This is a dramatic , beautiful, stunningly gorgeous island located about 30 minutes by boat from Koh Phi Phi Don ( the main Koh Phi Phi island) . You can go with a group ( usually less expensive) or you can rent a private boat taxi service ( my choice . ( I paid 2000 Thb , about $60.00 USD for 4 hours)) . I wanted the flexibility with snorkeling as my priority. I did not want to go to the over-crowded Maya Bay stop . I still saw it from the boat but didn't walk on the beach.... I also avoided the 400 Thb fee to disembark at Maya Bay.😁😁🤟🤟 Snorkeling recommended....see turtles, shark, giant clams, all manner of corals and fish. Even if you don't want to snorkel, this island should be visited. USE RESTROOMS 🚻 BEFORE YOU GO!!!!!!!! Handicap is doable with caution ⚠️. ...entering and exiting the boats to get there requires a certain amount of mobility Final Take. Strongly recommended for anyone wanting to be dazzled by this stunning location. Bring a phone and / or a camera 📷....photo ops EVERYWHERE 🤔!!!!!!!

Long hike up the hill. Well worth it when you get there. Spectacular views of koh phi phi. Nice café at top to rest,refresh and take advantage of such great vistas. Café very reasonable prices,nice to see not taking advantage of tourists in anyway. Will not disappoint doing the walk up there.

A lookout point situated high up from where you can see phi phi don, maya bay, krabi in the distance. The view point opens at 5:30 am and last entry is somewhere around 6:30 pm. It has an entry fee of 50 baht. The climb is really steep rapidly gaining altitude. It’s a mix of stairs and slopes and at the end you have a viewing deck. You can expect a lot of crowd during the sunset time. There is also a cafe at the view point. There is photography service available at the top but it’s only during the day. Sunset from here is very picturesque. Sun sets behind the hills of phi phi and the sea changes it’s colours from turquoise to deep blue to Orange and then deep red within a few minutes.

If you’re looking for the ultimate panoramic view of Koh Phi Phi, you absolutely must push past Viewpoint 2 and make the final, rewarding climb to Viewpoint 3. While Viewpoint 1 is the most popular, this highest point offers an unparalleled perspective that few visitors bother to see, making it a more intimate and spectacular experience. The trail from Viewpoint 2 is slightly more rugged, requiring proper shoes and plenty of water, but every bead of sweat is worth the effort. Reaching the summit feels like a true accomplishment. The view is not just stunning; it's a breathtaking, full 360-degree vista where you can clearly see the distinct separation between Tonsai Bay and Loh Dalum. This famous 'hourglass' shape of the island is never more dramatic than from here, with the turquoise waters lapping at the narrow strip of land below. It's the perfect place to soak in the island's unique geography and enjoy a peaceful moment away from the crowds. Time your visit for sunrise or sunset for truly unforgettable colors. Forget the crowds at the lower spots—Viewpoint 3 is the ultimate destination for the adventurous traveler.

Being the highest and hardest to get viewpoint of the three, this hidden gem doesn’t get the same numbers of visitors but offers by far the most stunning and beautiful view. I definitely recommend taking the hike and going for it.

Spectacular views from this view point. We took the long way starting at 3 and working our way down. Definitely worth the hike.

Beautiful overview on the island and its particular shape, the stair to climb is worth a subscription to a sport club !

Comparing to Viewpoint 1 and 2 it’s nothing special. The way to the viewpoint is dirty with rubbish. But you can see a bit of Thai village on the other hand. In my opinion, not worth climbing there if you are already on viewpoint 2 which is the best. To enter viewpoint 3 you need to pay 30 baht person and remove your shoes.

Monkey Beach is a truly beautiful slice of Phi Phi, featuring the perfect combination of powdery white sand, dramatic limestone cliffs, and crystal-clear turquoise water. It’s an idyllic spot for swimming and snorkeling, with abundant marine life visible just offshore. The primary attraction, of course, is the resident troop of wild long-tailed macaque monkeys, which are a fascinating sight to observe in their natural habitat. However, a serious note of caution is essential for any visitor. While the monkeys are the highlight, they are wild animals and should be treated with utmost respect and distance. Never, under any circumstances, should you feed the monkeys. Human food is harmful to them and directly leads to aggressive behavior and potential bites, which require immediate medical attention and rabies shots. Furthermore, please be vigilant with all personal belongings. These monkeys are notorious thieves and will snatch anything shiny, loose, or resembling a food container—including water bottles, sunglasses, and bags. Keep everything zipped and secured, preferably in a dry bag, and maintain at least a three-meter distance at all times. Visit early to beat the crowds, observe quietly, and help keep this incredible natural area pristine. The beauty here is undeniable, provided you prioritize safety and respect the wildlife's space.

This was a really cool thing to see- the monkeys come out when they know there’s food. I did however want to throw some people in the water that think it’s okay to 1) touch the monkeys or try and pull their tails or 2) splashing water on them. Like leave them alone if you can’t be nice. Some tourists should not be allowed to be tourists. It was a really beautiful area too.

picturesquely beautiful like other beaches in the region ! beach is very small with the cliffs starting almost immediately you land. No shops or people other than tourists, but it can get pretty crowded. And yeah you will see a lot of monkeys playing around !

This is one of the most famous Monkey Beaches, a picturesque cove on the southwestern side of Phi Phi Don Island. It features white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and is home to a population of wild macaque monkeys. Visitors often reach it by long-tail boat or rented kayak from Tonsai Bay and enjoy swimming and snorkeling there.

Spotlighting the white sands, clear waters and ofcourse it’s monkeys. Monkey beach is comparitavely small, secluded stretch of sand fringed by limestone cliffs. But the monkeys can be aggressive and unpredictable and feeding them is not allowed risk of theft or bites one have to be careful. Monkey Beach is undeniably a highlight of Phi Phi Don- a beautiful and exotic spot where playful macaques bring a wild energy to paradise.

Okay, the beach is beautiful, white sands and nice cliffs. However, the monkeys will steal anything you have. We took a canoe and I got my dry bag and my friend her backpack, but my grocery bag was still in the canoe with of course no food. They tore it open anyway (just to find sandals). We stood in the water too terrified to do anything. Also another monkey took a water bottle from another canoe and opened it. To conclude: monkey Beach is nice from a distance or without bag!!

Monkey Beach in Phi Phi is a unique and delightful experience! The beach is beautiful, with soft white sand and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The highlight, of course, is the playful monkeys that inhabit the area. Watching them in their natural habitat is fascinating and entertaining. Just remember to respect their space and not feed them. The scenery is stunning, and the atmosphere is lively yet relaxing. Monkey Beach is a must-visit for a fun and memorable adventure in the Phi Phi Islands! ♥️

Beautiful beach but you should come early in the morning if you want quiet time and swim. To many longtails and tourists makes you not enjoying this beach. 300 bath for tickets and 200 bath for the national park.

Soft white sand beaches, clearest water I've even seen, stunning views and amazing vibe. Would love to go back here again! Definitely go here when in Ao Nang or Krabi!

It was amazing experience, I recently visited with friends. We were travel through speed boat. Would suggest you maintain the cleaness. Please check weather before you travel. Overall experience was good. Beach was clean and enjoyed a lot.

The Poda Island, also known as Koh Poda is a beautiful island in South Thailand. It is found just off the coast of Krabi. It’s the largest of four islets in the Poday Group of Islands. What makes it easy to explore is that its near major holiday spots like Ao Nang, Railay Beach and Klong Muang. So you only need a day or half a day tour for you to cover this holiday destination. This islet is heavenly… from the smooth sandy beaches to the clear turquoise sea water that just invites you to jump in, the reefs which are perfect for snorkeling a magnificent backdrop with rock formations, this is a place worth visiting… It’s dreamy I tell you. If you are looking for a place to unwind, then this is the perfect spot.

We went there in our day trip pachage of 7 island tour from krabi. And ko poda was one of most beautiful beach among them. We saw the sunset from here. Did lunch here by the sea. Water was also very clear.

Another stunning island in Krabi! The water here was crystal clear with that dreamy turquoise shade & the beach felt so peaceful compared to the busier spots. The white sand was silky smooth, perfect for just relaxing by the shore and soaking in the view. Definitely one of my favourites from the island tour!

Ko Poda is a hidden gem in Thailand . crystal clear water, soft white sand, and a peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect escape from the crowds. The view of the limestone cliffs is absolutely breathtaking. A must-visit for anyone exploring Krabi .🏝️

✨ Phra Nang Cave Shrine – Where the sea meets the spirit 🌊 Hidden at the edge of Railay Beach in Krabi, this sacred cave tells a story older than time. Locals believe it’s home to Phra Nang, the princess goddess who protects fishermen and grants blessings to those who visit with faith. Colorful offerings, wooden carvings, and the sound of waves create a magical calm inside the limestone cliffs. 🪷 Every corner feels alive with legends and prayers carried by the sea breeze. Here, nature and belief blend into something truly peaceful — a reminder that beauty isn’t just seen, it’s felt. 💫

Kayaked here from railay beach, in about 20mins! Beautiful and secluded, blazed a huge J under some beautifully positioned palm trees etc for some well needed shade. The water was beautiful, clear and warm and definitely worth the kayak trip to this beach! Also possible to explore both the caves at either end of this beach so well worth spending a day here if coming from Ao Nang.

It takes 40 minutes to walk from Railway beach. It is much nicer than Railway beach. Along the way, you get to see some interesting rock formations and there is a rope you can climb (need appropriate footwear, as it is muddy and slippery) but there is a nice viewpoint and a lagoon at the top. Once you arrive at the beach, you can see monkeys and some lizards. People rock climb there too which is interesting to watch

Beautiful beach accessible from Railay East. Caves , rock wall climbing and chilling on Beautiful Phra Nang beach are key attractions. Go early or face massive crowds when securing a spot on the beach. No restrooms Handicap possible. Final take ..RECOMMENDED BUT AGAIN GO EARLY.

Awesome beach. Beautiful fine sand and lovely water. Sheltered in a bay so no big waves really to be concerned about and a great place to either sunbathe or swim. Sunsets are beautiful. Well worth the visit.

Tucked beneath the cliffs of Phra Nang Beach, Krabi, lies one of Thailand’s most mysterious and sacred spots — the Phra Nang Cave Shrine, also known as Princess Cave. Legend says an Indian princess was once shipwrecked here, her spirit now guarding the cave and granting blessings to those who come with faith. Inside, you’ll find hundreds of wooden lingams — offerings symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and safe voyages. The mix of ancient belief, sea breeze, and divine mystery gives this cave an energy you can feel in your bones. 🌊✨ #PhraNangCave #PrincessCave #KrabiThailand #ThaiMythology #SpiritualThailand #FertilityShrine #WondersOfThailand #TravelLegends #KrabiDiaries #ThailandCulture

A quiet beach of your own with few tourists making it a can’t-miss spot in Krabi. This pristine beach stretches afar from famous Pranang Spirit Cave till the end of the beach with high limestone cliffs. Beautiful Soft sand and clear sea water with multicolor green to blue sea will make your day the most relaxing one. Be sure to spend a lot of time lingering leisurely. During low tide you can simply walk to Happy Island just across the shore.

We booked a ferry from Krabi to Railey Beach. There is a little booth near the docks that sell the tickets and tell you the hours that the ferries run. Once a wooden dragon boat is full it heads out. The boat ride was awesome. Open air and smooth. It was one of my favorite parts island hopping during our trip. When we arrived we wondered until we found a hotel that served breakfast. There was a reasonably priced buffet and we ate there. We spent a few hours at the beach, swimming and enjoying the sun. We saw the rain coming and decided to head to bar and grab a drink. Overall it was a great day, and I highly recommend.

We took long tail boat from Ao Nang at 8:30. We were there before 8:00 but if a group came, they had priority. It was a bit chaotic how the boatmen were organizing the boats. After 30 min we could board. It took 15min and cost 100bhat per person. We were 12 on the boat. When coming back there was 1 more couple waiting. Each of us paid 200 baht and we could go immediately back. West Railay beach is nice with stunning views. Inside the “village” it’s already a bit messy. To go there for 1-day trip ok but I wouldn’t stay there for longer. For cat lovers just check the pictures 😻

Really gorgeous beaches, yummy food, wildlife, and almost everything you need. Cool hippie vibes by the west side. I enjoyed the place and was only there for a few hours. Would love to come back and stay on this side of Krabi for a few days.

Beautiful spot. The swim area towards the cliff has a quite rocky bottom and is shallow at low tide. Further towards the boats the bottom has far more sand and is a nicer walk out to swim.

Railay beach is so beautiful. Especially during the sunset days. They have beautiful long tail boats and the scenery looks wonderful. You can get the long tail boats from Ao Nang to Railay Beach at 200 return. Last boat is at 6.30 PM. Get a boat so you will catch the sunset.

Gorgeous beach but recommend carrying beach shoes to avoid getting hit by rocks especially when going for a swim. The water is nice and warm and sandy patches are good on the beach.

The beach is really relaxing with magnificent views. Has lots of stuff to do, do not stay there for 1 day, stay for more. There is so much to do and see. The first priority place that I'll recommend to you if you will go to Krabi. You can only get there by boat. Its a piece of land surrounded by mountains and cliffs. You will need to pay if hotel doesn't provide a free boat to your destination.

Lovely 😍 The beach is great to walk, or sit and relax. It's clean thanks to the Trash Hero volunteers! Quite active with the little tour and fishing boats! Great views 👍

Well the place gets busy by the night and graceful by the morning but always has a vibe there’s always a good view of islands but sometimes due to high tide you have to skip beach days.

Ao Nang Beach is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The water is calm, the sand is clean, and the views make it even more stunning. I loved walking along the beach, especially during sunset — the sky looks magical. The area is also very convenient with lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby. Local people are friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. A perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the true beauty of Krabi. Highly recommended!

The town is quite peaceful. The beach is located across the town drive. Clean stretch of beach with beautiful shell and the beach is landmark. Loved the location and the scenic beauty. My personal advise is to stay in a hotel closer to beach and night market. You are always in the heart of all activities.

Lots of tourists and touristy stalls; the beach itself wasn’t very nice. The Monkey Trail was good, though, and the sunset view from the beach was nice. Ideal for a one-hour visit during sunset, but nothing more.

Super clean Beach. Minimal tourist at morning time. The road near the beach offers variety of shopping at reasonable prices. The prices are better than Ao Nang night Market. Best time to visit is before 8 am . Amazing views at the beach.

Ao Nang Beach in Krabi offers an absolutely fantastic experience that makes it a must-visit location. It truly is a beach for all hours, combining stunning daytime relaxation with vibrant evening excitement. ​During the day, the beach is perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the clear waters. The conditions are excellent for swimming, offering a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. ​As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms into something magical. I highly recommend taking a long night walk along the sand, where the air is relaxed and the view is spectacular. The highlight of the evening is definitely the mesmerizing fire show performances that light up the beach—it’s a great way to truly feel the vibrant Thai atmosphere. ​Beyond the beach itself, the proximity to the bustling night market is a major draw. You can easily transition from the beach to enjoying delicious street food and browsing local goods. ​Overall, Ao Nang Beach provides a great, comprehensive experience, and spending time here, day or night, is highly recommended.

Spacious parking and toilet available at the entrance. Entry costs 50 TBT per person. The temple looks amazing, those colours, symmetries, fascinating. The stairs are tough, 309 meters up in 600 meters, very steep with tall stairs. There is toilet along the way as well. The view from the top is amazing, definitely worth the effort. There is free water waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs, courtesy of the temple.

Keep in mind that the sun goes down by 6:15pm. We got to the bottom at 6:30pm and they had locked it. Even though there were still people up top. It’s not impossible to jump over the side fence, but if you are going to take awhile to get down because of your fitness level, consider that you will have to jump the fence a bit if you’re locked in. Worth the steps. My husband and I did it in 16-17 mins. We are both fit and were still breathing hard. It’s only hard because the steps are steep and some are taller than others. We went on a rainy day too so the heat didn’t ruin it. Beautiful view, very peaceful. Went on a Wednesday in October We saw a lot of water bottles left around at the top and we dumped them and recycled them. There is a bucket for them. Please don’t be those people that bring garbage and leave garbage up there. There were no staff when we were up top.

Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple) Review: Great View After a Hard Climb ​Wat Tham Suea is a temple visit where you must climb a mountain. To get to the top, you walk up 1,260 stairs (309 meters). ​The stairs are not all the same. Some parts are easy, some are medium, and some parts are very hard and steep. It is a real challenge for your legs! ​But when you finish the climb and reach the top, it is truly worth it. You will see a very large, beautiful golden Buddha statue. The view of the green jungle and big rock mountains (KRABI) is amazing. This feeling of seeing the idol and the beautiful scene makes the hard climb worthwhile.

The trek has very steep steps all the way to the top, so I wouldn’t recommend it for elders or young kids. There are over 1200 steps, and completing the climb and returning can be challenging if you’re on a tight schedule of a tour package. However, we managed to finish the round trip in about 1.5 hours. Overall, a rewarding experience but definitely demanding—plan accordingly!

It’s an amazing place located at the top of a mountain. You need to climb over 1,260 steps to reach it . quite tough, but definitely worth it for the experience. You’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Krabi mountains. It’s highly recommended for those who love peace, nature, and spiritual vibes. The temple provides free drinking water. So, carry a bottle with you . you can refill it before and after the climb. It’s a must-visit spot, not far from the Krabi bus terminal.

The views from the top are fantastic! That is, if you can reach the very top of the observation deck with the large Buddha statue. You'll have to climb 1,256 steps. If you're not in good shape, the climb will be very challenging. At times, the steps are very steep, almost vertical, and the height can reach up to 40 cm. But if you can climb all 1,256 steps, the stunning views will be worth it! The descent is also challenging!

Views are amazing at the top, even in wet weather. The stairs are no joke though, so wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Took us about 30 mins to get to the top. The temple at the bottom is quite impressive as well.

I loved the place. We are two pensioners but our inner child came to life. It was so nice to take pictures. The lady came to assist us and she took the pictures. We really appreciated it. She even made some suggestions. Thanks for their kindness. The entrance fee for adults was 500 Baht.

It's way cheaper if you buy your ticket on Agoda- we got 50% off for a non refundable ticket. We spend a good 3 hours taking photos. Took 1 stars off because my mom slipped as the floor was too slippery and hurt her back. Floor is too slippery, and wearing no socks doesn't help. Bring non-slip socks to wear as wearing shoes were not allowed. Another star off because there weren't any seating areas. Staff don't speak English, making communication difficult. It's fun to do with family & kids. I don't recommend elderlies unless they are fit. No elevators, you must be able to stand & walk.

We ended up going during a quiet time of the day and so we didn’t have any interference from other people at the museum which was good. We had our own personal guide throughout our journey in the museum, she showed us how to pose and where to stand, she took a picture of us at each artwork! The artworks are funny and great, and it’s a nice place for kids and adults. One downside is that there is not aircon inside, only fans, so you can get very hot very fast. Other than that, I think the entrance price of $15 is excellent, as we had our own guide who literally took all our pictures and I thought it was very worth it. I highly recommend to all travellers!

Great for $15 per person 1500 THB per person. There were a alot of awesome things on display here. The artwork is really cool and interesting/ interactive. If you get a chance you should visit. You can also pay by card and they have free parking right out front of the Museum. Definitely worth stopping by and a great great place for kids. I can't stress that enough. Had fun today! Thanks!

This was such a fun experience. It was very exhausting taking all of the photos, but such a great opportunity for people of all ages. The guide remained with us and took all our photos.

If you are in to clicking creative pictures, and love creativity, this is a must visit place. It is a small place, but one can easily spend 3 hours. A place loved by kids, to the fullest. Tip: book the ticket one day in advance, online to get some great deals.

A very calm place with lots of cool pictures and shades but the only problem is the fare 500 baht per person. If they would make their price as low as 100 baht people would be more attracted towards the museum.

This spot is a public walkable uphill trail of about 2 kilometers, ending with a beautiful Phuket view at the top. If you enjoy being surrounded by nature, and don’t mind a few friendly monkeys and dogs along the way, you’ll absolutely love it here. Just keep in mind that the walk uphill can be a bit challenging for some, but golf cart rides are available if you prefer to skip the climb.

Monkey Hill is a nice viewpoint in Phuket with great views over the city. It’s free to visit and there’s free parking at the base — you just need to walk about 1 km uphill to reach the top. Be careful with the monkeys; they can be aggressive, so don’t feed them and keep your belongings secure. A good spot for a short walk and scenic photos!

Good short hike with nice view on the city. A bit steep for some ppl but it was okey. We went during the rain but it was okey. Monkeys were good and polite. Ofc if u have bottle outside of your bag they will charge and try to steal it. Umbrella or thick stick is good protector against them. It is worth to go and see on your own. Follow the rules and everything will be okey.

My son and I love to go hiking at monkey hill alongside the local people. Just unhappy when I see tourists not respecting the rules and getting the monkeys excited and upset which can create drama. So please don't bring water with you cause the monkey ends up eating the plastic and fighting for it... Don't feed them their is staff mandated to feed them every day and this will again avoid an incident. walk near them stay quiet no big movement no food no water and it will be nice for everyone. You can get water at the top near the viewpoint. Or on the way back down coconut and fruits juice are available at the parking lot.

me and my bf went there pretty late and we were happy that there would be no tourists to torment the monkeys. apparently they dont need anyone to torment them as one of them crawled on my bf from behind for no reason🥲 leave the monkeys alone not worth visiting cause u may end up having to pay 200€ at a hospital for rabies shots like us✨

Nice and quite easy trail, the monkeys are everywhere and some of them will come after you if you are holding water or if you have food. Be careful since there is no security or anything. I recommend carrying a stick with you.

The panoramic view over Phuket Town from Monkey Hill is undeniably stunning, especially during sunset. It’s a peaceful spot for nature lovers and a popular place for walking or cycling. However, safety is a serious concern. The trail has no security presence, and the monkeys—although they seem friendly—can become aggressive, territorial, and even dangerous, especially if you’re carrying food or shiny items. Several monkeys jumped toward people, and some felt threatened. There should definitely be better safety measures and security staff along the path to protect visitors. Until then, this place is not ideal for children, solo travelers, or anyone seeking a secure environment. ⚠️ Beautiful spot, but visit with caution.

The 360° Viewpoint at Koh Hong offers impressive panoramic views once you reach the top — the surrounding islands, turquoise waters, and dramatic cliffs are a photographer’s dream. That said, the climb is quite steep and involves a lot of stairs — definitely not for everyone, especially in the heat. There’s no shade along the way, and the steps can be slippery if it’s rained, so proper footwear is a must. While the view is rewarding, the effort required might not feel entirely worth it for some, especially when the island below already offers plenty of scenic spots. A decent experience overall, but manage your expectations and come prepared.

A short 15-minute climb takes you to the top, where you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful 360-degree panoramic view — absolutely worth the effort. It’s also home to the only clean beach in the area that’s truly suitable for swimming and playing. A perfect spot for both a light adventure and a relaxing beach day!

Gorgeous views to the Andaman See. The stairs are quite steep but if you climbed already to the Tiger Cave, to reach this viewpoint won’t be difficult.

It's a hard, sweaty climb. You need good functional knees and a lot of sunscreen. Drink water and take it slow. At least the stairs are modern and equal. The view is fantastic! It takes about 20-25 minutes at a moderate pace to reach the top. After you go down, i recommend the nearby beach

Best Place to visit and have photo shoot. Our travel guide was See Sea Andaman Travel and had a great experience with them.

Absolute beautiful spot. A great reward after climbing almost 500 step ladder. Take a deep breath and enjoy a beautiful panoramic

Beautiful view and good way to get some exercise and sweat alot.

I absolutely loved my four nights here and wish I could have stayed longer! I was travelling on my own, had never been to a yoga retreat before, and was coming during low/rainy season, so was concerned that the place would be empty and that the weather would be limiting, however, I had nothing to worry about! There were about 15 guests at the retreat during my stay, which was perfect as it felt really calm and cozy and we all became close, with myself and some of the guests continuing to meet up later in our travels after we left the island! The weather was also perfect during my stay, and I really enjoyed cycling around beautiful Koh Yao Noi using the free bicycles provided, and going on a fantastic island hopping trip organised by the team. Even if there had been rain, the atmosphere at Island Yoga is so great that I think I’d have been content reading in my hammock or chilling in the cafe. My AC bungalow was cute and comfy, and the location of the retreat was brilliant - a minute walk to the beach, and just 5-10 minutes from plenty more nature, cafes, and shops. The evening yoga classes and the free Thai massage were deeply relaxing, and the morning classes were energising and the right level of challenging for me, and I was really proud to see my yoga skills develop during my time here. I really enjoyed the morning meditation and chanting, and it was fun trying out tai chi for the first time. The breakfast buffet was truly incredible - so much variety and completely different menu every morning. When I had to leave early on my last day the kitchen team kindly gave me a container to package up some food to take with me - so thoughtful, and I was so thankful as the food was some of the best I’d eaten on my five weeks of travel, so I’d have been so sad to miss out! All of the staff were brilliant, friendly, and helpful, especially Moo, who has the most amazing energy/vibe! If I’m lucky enough to return to Thailand one day then I’d definitely come back here 💚 also - if you’re a cat fan, you’re in luck - so many little cuties all around the island/at the retreat

Island Yoga was OUTSTANDING! Beautiful location, really excellent, kind staff that went out of their way to make you feel warm and welcome. The whole vibe and energy of the place was really exceptional. The yoga teaching staff were very knowledgeable, attentive and committed, I learned so much, improved so much and Ive been doing yoga for 20+ years. And if all that weren't enough, the Tai Chi and Qigong on the beach was transcendent. David and Wisa are exceptional and inspiring teachers, in a jaw-droppingly beautiful setting. I will go back again and again as many do. Don't hesitate, just go! Thank you all Island yoga🙏

Really great experience! Rather on the pricy side, especially when booking a budget room. But the staff is so lovely, they make you feel very warm and welcome and the overall energy was very relaxed and open. Will definitely come again! Food is amazing. Yoga classes were sometimes bit chaotic for my taste, best were the ashtanga style ones by Marina.

I really enjoyed this fantastic, otherworldly place! The energy, teachers and staff are truly unique. I was positively surprised by the quality and level of the classes. The program around the classes fits perfectly. If you want to deepen your practice and meet amazing like-minded people from all over the world, this is the place to be. For me it was a place to come back to myself. I kept extending my stay on the island because of the great atmosphere. In the end I stayed there for 7 weeks in total and I joined the yoga teacher training (YTT). If you’re still hesitating, don’t. Just book and find out for yourself. ✨

We did a yoga training here, and the location was a perfect location for this. Beautiful relaxed island lifestyle, amazing food, very friendly helpful staff, great shala for yoga trainings, lush environment and wildlife, great massages at island yoga and on the beach!

An incredible team of yogis who I hope will always be in my life. An amazing kitchen and coffee shop who served delicious healthy food and wonderful coffee. The resort staff too rocked. I hope to see everyone again.

I have just spent the most incredible 6 days in that place that I now call home. I for sure will come back at some point. The yoga classes and Thai chi on the beach with sunrise were very special. The bungalows with view on the pool are incredible - clean, relaxing, and very cosy. The food was delicious, the breakfast buffet as well as the Thai kitchen and the Sabaidee cafe. The staff were so sweet and welcoming. The yoga teachers were amazing; insightful, helpful and empowering. Plus I met beautiful souls there. I am so grateful for that place which will always have a dear place in my heart. Namaste & Kopunkah 🙌🏼
