The Experience
Before You Go
Dress for temples
Bring a lightweight scarf or shirt to cover shoulders and a sarong or long shorts to cover knees when visiting Wat Tham Sua and the Reclining Buddha.
Hydrate and snack
Carry 1–2 liters of water and a light snack; the climb has few vendors and heat can spike quickly.

Wear shoes with good grip; concrete steps and forest trails can be slippery after rain.
Cash for markets
Small stalls in Krabi Town and near the park take cash only—bring small bills for souvenirs and snacks.
