Location
About the surrounding area of Baan DonTucked in the scenic province of Krabi, famous for its jagged limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and a constellation of over 100 islands, the resort is blessed with an enviable location. The most convenient point of arrival is Krabi International Airport. From there, a representative of the resort will ferry you to the resort in a private long-tail boat (35 mins) or private speed boat (20 mins). The resort also organizes pick ups from Phuket Airport, Ao Nang Beach and the neighboring islands of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach is beloved for its dewy white sand, sapphire blue waters and awe-inspiring limestone formations. It is a haven for rock-climbers with over 700 climbing sites and the annual Krabi Rock and Fire International Contest. Explore the Phranang Beach cave which contains a sacred image of Buddha. Spend a leisurely time in the many beachfront shacks and breezy restaurants located on the beach.
Sign up for an island- hopping boat tour from Krabi Town or Ao Nang. Discover other-worldly caves, mangrove jungles and ancient island paintings in the company of an expert local guide. Wildlife lovers should not miss out on Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home to the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water spring is ideal for swimming against a backdrop of cascading waterfalls. If you are lucky, you might just spot the highly endangered, bright colored Pitta Gurney bird.
A challenging, but ultimately rewarding climb of 1,237 steps will take you to the ‘Footprints of Buddha’ in the Tiger Cave Temple. The name is derived from a legend which suggests that a fearsome tiger used to live in one of the many natural caves surrounding the temple. Get a glimpse into the lives of monks who used to live and meditate inside these caves. You will see fascinating stone tools, pottery relics and bizarre pictures of cadavers, which symbolize the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory.
Flung 43 kms west of Krabi, Koh Phi Phi consists of 6 beautiful islands. Check out rock paintings of Viking ships in Koh Phi Phi Leh. Go snorkeling in Bamboo Island and witness dazzling coral reefs. For those with a daredevil spirit, plunge into the waters of Koh Phi Phi Don with a qualified guide and observe majestic black-tip and leopard sharks.
