Monkey Trail, Krabi
One of the funniest things to do in Thailand is to watch the wild monkeys play. So we naturally had to hike the infamous Monkey Trail during our visit to Ao Nang in Krabi.
You can find the Monkey Trail at the Southern end of Ao Nang Beach. You won’t find any official signs. Just go to the very end of the beach, where you’ll see a small temple and a wooden bridge. This marks the beginning of the trail.
The Monkey Trail in Ao Nang is less than 1 kilometer long. It’s more likely around 600 – 800 meters. So it’s really not a big hike, it’s more like a little walk.
Going from the beginning of the trail at Ao Nang Beach to the end of the trail at Pai Plong Beach will not take you longer than 20 minutes. Therefore, it’s an easy, small trail which most people can do. Just beware that you are walking over a small hill, which naturally entails a lot of stairs. You will be walking through the jungle, which means that you’ll need to wear mosquito repellent. Plus, it’s generally a good idea to cover up if you want to keep the mosquitoes off your body.
