Description
***PRICES ARE PER VEHICLE, FOR UP TO 10 PASSENGERS. FOR LARGER GROUPS, PLEASE BOOK AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE***
For independent sightseeing, hiring your own vehicle with a driver is the best way to travel. There is no need to look at maps, and everyone in the group can enjoy the scenery. The itineraries proposed are those we find to work best – based on years of trial and error. Krabi is a very large province (almost 9 times the size of Phuket!) and these routes are the most efficient in terms of moving from place to place with minimum time wasted. For this reason, we do not provide any customisations to the set routes; to create your own itinerary, please choose the “unlimited” option and send us your ideas. For details on timing etc. please click on the “What’s included” tab.
All prices are quoted for pick up / drop off at Ao Nang and Krabi Town hotels. For other areas, please add the supplement required.
THE ITINERARIES
1. Hot Springs and Emerald Pool (half day) – this is a 50 minute drive from Ao Nang so you will get around 1 hour in each place. Additional entry fees 290 THB per person, half price for children under 12.
2. Hot Springs and Emerald Pool with airport pick up (half day) – we can pick up from the airport and go directly to the Hot Springs and Emerald Pool before dropping you back at your hotel. Flights should arrive before 2.30pm in order to get the full service. Additional entry fees 290 THB per person, half price for children under 12.
3. Hot Springs, Emerald Pool & Tiger Cave Temple (full day) – this can be done in any order, though we recommend Tiger Cave first and the other two in the afternoon as this will avoid the crowds. A stop will be made for lunch at your request; this can be at a local restaurant, or in the Tesco Lotus mall if you also wish to do some shopping (this will be counted in your overall time). Additional entry fees 290 THB per person, half price for children under 12.
4. Tiger Cave Temple (3 – 4 hours) – this is a 20 minute drive from Ao Nang; 2 – 3 hours will give you enough time to explore the grounds and make the trek to the mountaintop shrine.

Paul S –
Driver arranged was on time and courteous. Made the trip simple.
Rick –
The driver was very punctual to pick us up and the car was immaculate with the air conditioner on. Although it was not actually Mr. Deng who picked us up; it was his brother who spoke limited English. But got us to the destination quickly and waited for us why we climbed up to the temple.
The restaurant was the best food we had in Thailand!! And after being so sick the days leading up to we were very hesitant to eat anything. We were convinced to give it a go due to how clean it was and the general vibe of the place. Very impressed.
winnie –
we went to Emerald pool and Hot Steam (half day). Service is extremely good and driver is friendly and safe. We asked him to stop at one restaurant for lunch and it was Authentic Thai food and amazing. Prices were cheap too!
