From Ao Luk towards the
Krabi coast are several
prehistoric limestone caves
in the jungle hills and
mangrove forest.
The immense surrealistic
formed limestone
outcrops can be seen and
limestone is where Krabi and
Thailand caves in general
are formed. Southern
Thailand is one of the best
places for visiting and
caving. The climate and
weather in southern Thailand
is excellent, its a tropical
environment with scattered
rain and thunderstorms
during the rainy season. The
limestone caves are some of
the real
Thailand attractions.
Everyone doing a trip to
Thailand and do some
holidays in Thailand should
explore the limestone caves.
The scenery has still its
natural beauty and is
one of the
places worth to visit in
Thailand,
only
some tourists are kayaking
around. Usually well
built roads makes it easy to
access the area, after
everyone has to use the
boat.
The area around Ao Luk is
still not overcrowded
since not many people know
about the whole, its still
almost free of traffic, the
right place for
vacation in Thailand
People paddle through the
prehistoric cave and
sometimes one of the
longtail boat glides through
the cave river.
Of the dozens of caves
that pock the jungle and
mangrove hills the best and
most informative is the Tham
Lod cave. No need for
waterproof suits, helmets
and lamps since natural
light comes in.
Only to see the

The caves are 10 – 30
meters wide and have
several chambers on each
side.
A couple of slippery descents are to be mastered but
there is no need for experience in climbing just reach out
for the cracks in the limestone when you get a
uncontrollable move.
Smooth curtains of cream and white colored flowstone
coating the walls, fat pale needles of stalactites
dripping from the roof.
