Krabi Caves

Cave climbing is mainly up the very slippery limestone rocks to have a look for the ancient wall and ceiling painting.

The karst caves are full of stalactites and stalagmites as you can see in the pictures and in the video.

Some kayaking activities are offered but its less of a kayaking adventures since the streams in the  Krabi and Ao Luk mangrove forests have no speed and no rapids. If you are searching for some real kayaking adventures have a look here.

Since the water level inside the caves is not more than maybe up to 2 meter above ground no cave dive is possible.

But in any case if you do a  Krabi cave trip or a southern Thailand cave exploration in general be very careful in the rainy season, it happens every year that tourist are dying because of a flash flood erupting out of a sudden

thunderstorm. Don't push your guide if he try to tell you we better don't do this and that. The latest accident was in 2007 in the Khao Sok National Park where a sudden flash flood killed 3 tourists. Khao Sok is also a very interesting destination

Everything is in motion. The spectacular mangrove forests an limestone wilderness of Ao Luk in Krabi province Thailand attracts paddlers from all over the world. Paddling into limestone caves with ancient cave paintings. Its great water sports with the kayak and life jackets.

Gliding in dark green water through the cave, no water flow in the cave. Mangrove forest-fringed limestone cliffs which popped out of the Phang Nga Bay water millions of years ago. There are no rapids, everything is very calm and we dip the paddle back into the clear emerald green water with plenty of fishes following us in the hope to get some feed. Some ducks in between and a fisherman who throw the circular net to catch something for dinner.

further north in Surat Thani province. Khao Sok is part of a bigger wildlife sanctuary with a interesting wildlife population.

The Khao Sok National Park is within the largest contiguous wildlife reserve in southern Thailand with a huge artificial lake created by the Cheo Lan Dam and several scenic waterfalls. More than 100 small islands still emerge from the reservoir and caving tours are for real caving adventures.

The reservoir is about 165 sqkm large and has some spectacular limestone cliffs emerging out from the water. They say there are about 25 mammal species, 170 bird species, this includes 5 hornbill variants and storks. A small wild elephant population and some tiger still roam the jungle.

The Khang Khaw Cave is the biggest and there are some more caving adventure waiting

elsewhere in the National Park. There is no possibility for scuba cave in the underwater cave, that means no sublevel caving at  Krabi or Surat caving.
