We started the long drive north by driving to Krabi. We called in on a show cave enroute called Tham Khao Kop. The cave is entered on a small boat paddled by two staff. Part of the trip (disconcertingly) involves laying flat out in the boat whilst being boated through a very, very low section for about two hundred metres – this is not a trip for ones with a wide girth!

After the show cave we went in search of another temple cave. The cave, Tham Khao Pina is a multi-layered cave in a cliff. There are concrete steps up to each level with many Budda statues. At the top is a large chamber.

On reaching Krabi, we found a hotel and then went down to the port area. We took a longtail boat out for a two hour trip in the mangroves. Part of the tour included visiting a cave on one of the islands close to Krabi.
