Ao Thalane: Thailand’s Best Kayaking?

40 mins northwest of Krabi town, nature has carved out an incredible kayaking trail for us to follow. With gigantic limestone cliffs on one side, emerald blue ocean on the other, and sprawling mangroves in between, Ao Thalane transports you into another world. This 8km loop takes around 2-3 hours to complete, but make sure to savour your time and explore the hidden beaches and caves along the way. Use the mangroves as shade from the blistering sun. A 3 hour kayak hire cost me 500 baht for 1 pax.
