Krabi's Nong Thale

Great photography and story about this place.

The views from several spots on the peak of Khao Ngon Nak are some of the most spectacular that Krabi has to offer. Few photographs can do justice to the real thing, certainly not any that I took. The main picture, which was shot from a north-facing outcrop, shows the lush forest cover that extends from the mountain to the lowland, karst formations, the bay of Tha Len, Chamuk Khwai Cape and nearby islands like Koh Khot and Koh Sire. Here, you can see the Andaman on your left but as you climb higher up, the sea will shift to your right instead because at that part, you’ll be looking southeast towards Ao Nang and the mountains of Railay Beach. The smaller image, which was taken by a friendly hiker from a boulder a few metres away depicts the area where almost everybody who makes it to the top of Khao Ngon Nak would have a picture of themselves taken. Near the top left corner of the photo, you can see part of a rocky ledge where in the recent past daredevils would go and pose. Now the spot is declared off-limits for obvious safety reasons.
