Krabi Thailand Trip Day 3 - Kayaking Through Crocodile Canyon, Emerald Pool (Sra Morakot) & Hot Springs Waterfall (Bang Kram)
On the third day it was up early again, a quick breakfast in the hotel and out for some kayaking in the Crocodile Canyon, sounds fun eh? It certainly was.
Although very hot, make sure you've packed a hat and some sun screen or sun block if you are liable to get burnt (as I am being a pale whitey).
The sea kayaks used are the surf-ski models, as opposed to the whitewater craft which are watertight/covered (making them more dangerous for beginners). This makes them more stable - although you are likely to get wet, so dress appropriately.
They do provide you with watertight bags to keep your valuables/camera so they won't get wet in case you do fall in or just get splashed.
The price per canoe was around 900baht including a guide, each kayak can sit two people comfortably, there are some 3-seater models but they aren't so common. The tour would generally last about an hour or 1.5 hours.
The weather was stunning as we set out.

The scenery was quite breathtaking there, especially inside the Canyon almost gorge like reminsicent of Gulin, China - it was splendidly hot though...
After a reasonable paddling session we reached the Canyon (known as Crocodile Canyon if I heard correctly)
