Mangrove kayak route through tidal gorges and limestone cliffs alive with crabs and macaques.

About this audio guide
This guide to Ao Thalane, a mangrove bay east of Krabi Town, follows a low-tide paddle through channels where crab-eating macaques climb down limestone cliffs to hunt mud crabs and mudskippers alongside kingfishers and herons. You'll hear about the narrow gorge where guides decide, tide by tide, whether a hidden lagoon beyond it is reachable at all. Listen for what happens to the same crabs after the paddle ends, at a plain terrace restaurant near the pier.
