the globe. The uninitiated needn't be afraid, local companies
are happy to teach and climbs have been mapped out for every level
of expertise. The beaches of Rai Ley and Nam Mao have many such
companies.

Sights you'll never forget are around the next bush in Khao Nor
Chuchi, which is criss-crossed by easy trails; other interesting
trails are found in Khao Panom Benjah National Park
Bird-Watching
Bird-watching is especially good from January till
April in the mangrove forests surrounding Kanab Nam Hill near
Krabi Town. Many rare birds are to be seen there : gurneys, Finfoots,
Big Winged Brown Kingfishers, Egrets, Bittems, Herons and more.
Another excellent bird-watching sight is Khao Nor

Tom district, a low-land forest populated by the nearly extinct
and only recently re-discovered black-breasted Pitta Gurhey.
