Best Selfie & Photo Spots in Krabi
The most Instagrammable spot in Krabi is Phra Nang Cave Beach — a towering limestone karst over powder sand at the tip of Railay. The runner-up is the Tiger Cave Temple summit, where a golden Buddha overlooks a whole valley of karst peaks. Both are best photographed in the early morning.
Photographing Krabi
Krabi’s frame is the limestone karst — from a longtail boat, the sand at Phra Nang, or the top of a temple staircase. Sunrise and late afternoon give the best light on the rock.
