Thai temples are as far removed from typical western places of worship as possible. Instead of the sombre sandstone and granite of many churches and cathedrals, many Thais locate their temples in caves and they are colourful affairs, more often than not 'guarded' by brightly painted animals and images.
Expect a multichrome experience with many twists and turns. Krabi is no exception and its Wat Tham Seua (Tiger Cave Temple) affords superb views from the summit of a nearby hill. Do not, however, expect to see tigers! For a classic reclining Buddha, head to Ao Nang.

In the Klong Thom district, east of Krabi Town and about 1 km from the District Headquarters, this temple museum hosts a collection of ancient stones, bronze tools, coins, pottery, decorations and beads which are reputedly to be more than 500 years old.
Not far from Ao Nang on the side of the main road. Wat Sai Thai doesn't have a real temple but there is a reclining Buddha under a cliff and some small golden sitting Buddhas that make it worth a stop.
The setting with a giant tree in front of the cliff is a nice view from the road.
