A provincial Buddhist centre
The Provincial Office of Buddhism identifies the temple as a third-class royal monastery and Krabi's provincial temple. It has served as a centre for Buddhist study and religious activity in the province since 1912.
Wat Kaew Korawaram
Wat Kaew Korawaram is Krabi's provincial temple in the centre of town. Its large white ubosot rises above a naga-lined stairway, making this a useful cultural stop away from the beaches.
The white ubosot
The present religious architecture is modern, with a white ordination hall on raised ground, three stair sections and naga decoration. Inside, murals depict episodes from Buddhist tradition. Dress for an active temple and check local arrangements before visiting.
