Wat Kaew Korawaram

Wat Kaew Korawaram is the largest and most prominent Buddhist temple in Krabi Town, located on a hilltop in Pak Nam, Mueang Krabi District. Recognizable by its striking white ubosot, the temple overlooks the town and Krabi River. Originally founded in 1887 and later moved to its current elevated site, it serves as the city's principal religious center and offers visitors religious architecture, Buddha images, murals, and panoramic town views.

Visitors can expect a hilltop temple complex accessed by a long staircase flanked by naga balustrades. The central white ubosot houses a large seated Buddha image and interior murals. The grounds include smaller shrines, Buddha statues, and open terraces with views over Krabi Town, the Krabi River and surrounding limestone hills. The setting is calm and active for worship, with monks present and areas for walking, photography and observing architecture.

Founded in 1887 as Wat Kaew at Ban Pak Nam, later relocated to its present hilltop site to serve the growing town. It was developed as the principal temple of Krabi Town and later elevated to royal temple status (Phra Aram Luang). The current white ubosot and hilltop layout reflect 20th-century renovations that established it as the administrative and ceremonial center for Buddhism in Mueang Krabi.

Serves as the main Buddhist religious center for Krabi Town and Mueang Krabi District, hosting daily worship, merit-making, and major Buddhist festivals. Revered for its principal Buddha images and as a community gathering place, it represents the town's religious identity and is a focal point for local ceremonies and cultural observance.
