Khlong Hrud, Krabi Province

If you love natural attractions with fewer crowds, we recommend kayaking at "Khlong Hrud." The water is crystal clear, allowing you to see the fish swimming below. If you're not confident in your paddling skills, don't worry—you can hire locals to paddle for you. We hired a paddler for 150 baht per boat, and the boat rental costs 300 baht per boat, which accommodates two people. The round trip takes about an hour, and you can stop at various points along the way. There are spots where you can swim as well! We suggest hiring a paddler because underwater obstacles like tree stumps, aquatic plants, and high rocks can easily hit the bottom of the boat, potentially causing it to capsize. However, if you're skilled at paddling, feel free to go solo. Hiring a paddler allows you to fully enjoy the scenery and take photos without worry. Experienced paddlers know the directions well, ensuring the underwater ecosystem remains undisturbed. They can also recommend the best photo spots and share interesting knowledge about the area. Hiring a paddler is like getting a guide included! Support the local community by hiring them—everyone here is incredibly friendly!
