You can also spend your holiday in Krabi actively. A great half-day trip is to climb Dragon Ridge Mountain, from which you can enjoy the most beautiful views of the limestone formations and Phang Nga Bay. The trail also winds through the jungles of the national park, so you can enjoy the dense tropical vegetation and the unique life among its branches.
