Here’s a fresh version with more details, keeping the expert-friend tone you want—no robotic AI nonsense.
Right in the heart of Krabi Town, you’ll find Wat Kaew Korawaram, a striking white temple perched on a small hill, just across from Vogue Mall on Maharat Road (Thanon Maharat).
If you’re near the caveman stoplights, just keep heading toward the big motorbike dealer—you’ll see a long staircase leading up to the temple.
This temple isn’t as ancient as others in Thailand—it was built about six years ago—but it has its own charm. The white exterior gives it a unique, almost surreal look, especially in the late afternoon light. Step inside (after taking off your shoes) and check out the detailed murals covering the walls, a mix of traditional Buddhist art and modern Thai influences.
It used to be home to three peacocks wandering the grounds, adding a bit of extra magic to the place. They’re no longer around, but the peaceful vibe remains. It’s never crowded, making it a great place to take a break from the heat, snap some photos, or just soak in the atmosphere.
Things to Know Before You Go
- Open until sunset—best time to visit is late afternoon when it’s cooler.
- Respectful dress—no bikini tops, short shorts, or anything revealing. A sarong or scarf can help cover up if needed.
- No entry fee—but donations are always welcome.
- Easy access—right in town, no long drives needed.
If you’re already in Krabi Town, this is an easy stop that’s worth a quick visit.

No need to take a tour to see it, just stop by when you’re in Krabi Town. Good for photos!
