11. Krabi Coastal Fisheries Research and Development Center
This is a research and breeding center for various marine animals, including ornamental fish, sea turtles, and starfish.
Among the most notable species is the clownfish, which can breed up to 13 different varieties.
The first of its kind in Thailand, and importantly, free to visit.
This is a large open-air clay pit, designed as a circular walking bridge.
Strolling around the pond, admiring the fish, enjoying the cool breeze, and feeling refreshed to the max.
The indoor space is designed to showcase various fish species.
This section will showcase clownfish, coral, and other marine life.
The facility prioritizes functionality over aesthetics, as it is primarily designed for fish breeding.

12. Tha Len Bay Fishing Port
A stunning kayaking destination for ecotourism enthusiasts, rivaling any other in Thailand.
A bay surrounded by lush mangrove forests.

✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦
13. Wooden bridge before reaching Ao Tha Len Bay
This is not a tourist attraction, but simply a wooden bridge located on the side of the road before reaching Ao Tha Len Bay.
We parked our car by the side of the road and walked in to take pictures of the atmosphere.
Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that the bridge is situated on the same side as the sea. Who would have thought that an ordinary wooden bridge could be so strategically positioned?
This allows the captured images to convey meaning.
The view is breathtaking.
If we had come here in the morning, the seawater would have filled this entire area.
At the end of the path, there is a wooden chair where you can sit and enjoy the cool breeze. It's so cool that you might even fall asleep.
Turning back, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking view of the mountains in the background. This angle is just as stunning as the previous one.
14. Pom Pier, Khlong Song Nam
A natural wonder where swamp forests, rainforests, and mangrove forests coexist in harmony.
The area exhibits significant natural diversity, making it an ideal location for ecological research.
The entrance fee is only 20 baht per person.
When the tide rises, seawater flows into the canal, making the canal brackish and salty.
The influx of seawater during high tide brings marine life into the canal for feeding, and they retreat as the tide recedes. This tidal exchange creates a unique environment in Tha Pom, where freshwater and saltwater mix, resulting in a dynamic ecosystem.
Therefore, the origin of the name "Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam" is…
The nature trail is easy to walk, the place is clean, and it is still very natural.
This is a popular spot at Tha Pom, Khlong Song Nam. It features lush greenery on both sides of the path, with green aquatic plants growing beneath the water's surface.
Note: To see the clear water of Pom Khlong Song Nam, visit after 1 pm when the tide is low.
Previously, you could swim in Tha Pom, Khlong Song Nam, and kayak.
However, it caused damage, namely the roots of the trees were damaged, and many trees died.
As a result, swimming and boating are currently prohibited, allowing Pom Pier to gradually regain its beauty and become more densely forested.
However, there is only one spot where we can still play.
Nature lovers should not miss Tha Pom Khlong Song Nam, another must-visit destination in Krabi.

Spicy and intense in the southern style. In front of the shop, there is grilled pork for sale, which is also delicious. Only 10 baht per stick.
It pairs well with rice noodles instead of fried chicken. You'll regret it if you miss it!

16. Ao Nang Beach
A renowned beach in Krabi province, renowned for its restaurants and entertainment venues.
Small-scale resorts and souvenir shops.
Located on the beachfront road, it is a long stretch of sandy beach with mountains separating it from the beach.
The surrounding scenery is uniquely beautiful.
This is a boat launch point for tour companies offering one-day excursions.
This can also take us to the islands and beaches of Krabi.
✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦
17. Railay Bay / Phra Nang Cave
Railay Beach, also known as Railay, is located within the boundaries of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park.
Known as the second Phi Phi Island of Krabi province, it is a beautiful beach with towering cliffs.
Venturing deep into the beach, you will encounter the Phra Nang Cave, a sacred abode of the revered Phra Nang. Seafarers in the region pay homage to the deity before embarking on their voyages, seeking blessings for good fortune and the fulfillment of their desires. Offerings are typically made at the shrine, consisting of food, flowers, incense, and candles. However, according to local beliefs, the spirit of the goddess particularly favors a unique offering: wooden phalluses.
Renowned as a renowned rock climbing destination, attracting both Thai and international tourists.
Many people are interested in trying this challenging experience.
✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦
18. Poda Island
A stunning island in Krabi, this privately owned gem retains its natural beauty and serves as a highlight of any seaside adventure.
The beach is surrounded on three sides, except for the west side, which faces the waves.
This side is a steep cliff, with a steep slope leading to a white sand beach in front of the island. The seawater is clear.
Although located close to the shore, tourists often visit the island for walks and relaxation.
And playing in the water more than coming to dive and see the coral reefs.
Although this island is privately owned, the kind owners do not charge a landing fee.
Therefore, tourists who visit should help maintain cleanliness.
✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦
19. Chicken Island
Chicken Island is one of the three islands that form the sandbar known as "Talay Waek" (The Separated Sea).
Tour companies often bring tourists to snorkel and admire the coral reefs while waiting for the time when the sea parts.
The only nearby diving spot in this area is located behind Chicken Island.
After finishing the diving activity, the boat had to go around the "Hin Khao Kai" rock to reach the "Talay Waek" area.
Therefore, visiting Koh Kai is often a spontaneous addition to a trip, rather than a planned destination.
The name "Chicken Island" comes from the sharp, pointed rocks at the southern tip of the island, which resemble a chicken's neck when viewed from above.
✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦ ✧✦
20. Separated Sea
Another unseen tourist destination in Krabi with stunningly beautiful spots.
The white sand is so fine that we can walk from one island to another when the tide is low.
The sandbar is formed by the connection of three islands: Ko Kai, Ko Mo, and Ko Thap.
The convergence of sand carried by waves at this point has formed a sandbar, connecting the three islands.
This sandbar will be submerged when the tide rises. When the tide recedes, the sandbar will gradually emerge.
It appears as if the sea has been divided into three sections, with sandbars emerging during periods of low tide.
Although the sandbar is not exposed, we can still walk on the beach. The sand of this sea is clean and white, making it a great place to swim.

Amity: A Concept of Friendship and Harmony
The phrase "สื่อถึงความเป็น Amity มากที่สุด" translates to "conveying the concept of Amity to the greatest extent."
Amity itself is a multifaceted concept encompassing friendship, goodwill, and harmony. It implies a state of mutual understanding, respect, and cooperation between individuals or groups.
To effectively convey this concept, consider the following aspects:
- Emphasize shared values and goals: Highlight common ground and areas of agreement, fostering a sense of unity and purpose.
- Promote open communication and dialogue: Encourage active listening and respectful exchange of ideas, fostering understanding and empathy.
- Celebrate diversity and inclusivity: Embrace individual differences and perspectives, creating a welcoming and supportive environment.
- Demonstrate acts of kindness and compassion: Extend support and assistance to others, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
- Resolve conflicts peacefully and constructively: Seek solutions that address underlying concerns and maintain positive relationships.
By incorporating these elements, you can effectively convey the essence of Amity, fostering a climate of friendship, harmony, and mutual respect.
To access the guest rooms, you will need to climb additional stairs. This may be a bit of a climb, but consider it a chance to get some exercise.
Accommodation options include double rooms, quadruple rooms, and shared dormitory-style rooms for backpackers.
The interior is beautifully decorated and stylish, offering ample living space and all the comforts you could desire.
The double room features a private balcony with an outdoor seating area.
The bed and blankets were soft and comfortable. There was a TV, a safe, and air conditioning that kept the room cool. There was even a ceiling fan to dry my hair. I loved it!
The bathroom is spacious enough to do somersaults in.
In my opinion, it was very good value for money, as we booked the package at the TAT event.
Package includes: Diving tour + 2 breakfasts + 4 islands and 4 cities in 3 days and 2 nights
Highly recommended for saving money!
