Khao Khanap Nam
เขาขนาบน้ำ
Two limestone hills standing face to face on either side of the Krabi River mouth, a landmark of Krabi Town. Visitors can take a longtail boat to explore the stalactite caves inside.
Khao Khanap Nam is a pair of limestone peaks around 100 metres high, rising on either bank of the Krabi River. They are considered a symbol of Krabi Town. Visitors hire a longtail boat from Chao Fah Pier in town (about 20 minutes), passing through mangroves on the way. After landing, you can explore the stalactite caves inside the hills. Human remains were once found in the caves, and legend says they belonged to villagers who sheltered from floods there long ago. Charter boat fares for the return trip are about 300 to 500 baht, and the route can be combined with a look at the mangrove ecosystem. The caves are dark, so bring a torch.
