Wat Kaeo Korawaram, Krabi Overview

Wat Kaew Korawaram is Krabi Town's main Buddhist temple, built on a hill with a 100-step staircase leading up to a large golden Buddha statue. The blue-and-white, naga-flanked architecture and courtyard views over the town make it a worthwhile stop if you're already in Krabi Town, though it isn't worth a special trip on its own. Dress conservatively (shoulders and knees covered) to enter.

Wat Kaew Korawaram has a large courtyard, and white temple buildings housing a huge golden Buddha statue adorned in beautiful ornaments. Visitors are encouraged to be in conservative clothing when visiting the temple. In a nutshell, while the temple may not rank as a ‘must-see’ site, it is definitely worth a visit if one is in that area.
