About this audio guide
This guide to Khao Khanab Nam in Krabi visits the twin limestone cliffs guarding the mouth of the Krabi River, reached by longtail boat and a stairway cut into the rock. You'll hear about the archaeological dig here in the early 1970s that turned up human remains, and how one find grew, retelling by retelling, into local legend of a giant. The real bones, meanwhile, sit in a museum across town, far from the cave you are standing in.
