Wat Kaew Korawaram
วัดแก้วโกรวาราม
A white Buddhist temple in the centre of Krabi Town. A long staircase flanked by naga railings leads up to a gleaming white main hall with beautiful murals inside.
Wat Kaew Korawaram sits on Maharaj Road in the centre of Krabi Town and is the town's most important Buddhist temple. A white staircase lined with naga (serpent deity) balustrades leads up the hillside to the main hall. The hall is entirely white, with blue-trimmed eaves, and its interior walls are painted with murals depicting the Jataka tales of the Buddha's previous lives. Entry is free. Remove your shoes before entering the hall and dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered. The temple pairs well with a half-day walk around the town, including Krabi Town's walking street and the giant crab sculpture at Chao Fah Pier.
