No.show - DO NOT BOOK
They did not turn up or answer the phone. We think it is a scam as the hotel chased too and they could not make contact either. DO. NOT BOOK!

A fantastic and unforgettable experience!😍😍
This tour was absolutely brilliant! It was well organised and we were very well looked after by our wonderful tour guide Chan. The river and limestone cliffs and caves were simply stunning. We kayaked through the mangrove forest, saw some monkeys and paddled through some beautiful caves dodging the stalactites as we went. We also went for a walk up river and explored another cave by foot, it had some drawings that were up to 3,000 years old….amazing!! After paddling back to the landing we were served a lovely lunch and then we paddled up the river in the other direction, through yet another cave and into a beautiful lagoon. Thank you to Thrilling Thai Tours for a fantastic day that we will never forget!! Highly recommended!

Nice trip that also takes you to the ancient cave with rock paintings
Very nice and easy going Kayak trip through the mangroves and some amazing caves with Stalagmites an Stalagtites. My favourite part was the ancient cave with over 100 rock paintings that are 3000 years old, such a beautiful experience. Our tour guide Maan was superfriendly.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.
How much does Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krabi is not rushed.
Is Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krabi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krabi and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Krabi: Kayaking Tour at Ban Bor Thor Ancient Cave & Mangroves start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krabi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krabi?
+
On Outty we rank every Krabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Phi Phi Islands Tour with Lunch from Krabi, Phi Phi Early Bird & 4 Islands - Day Tour by Speedboat From Krabi, Railay and 4-Island Sunset Speedboat Cruise with Night Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krabi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krabi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
