Trail up to Kuan Nom Saow viewpoint

The reward here isn't just the view, it's the food. Get to the top of this hill in Khao Thong and there's a small restaurant serving Thai dishes at prices that seem like a mistake. People rave about the massaman with tofu and the green curry, and a Thai tea while you look out over jungle-covered hills is about as good as a mid-trip breather gets in Krabi. There's a garden to wander round afterwards, which is more than most viewpoints bother with.

The way up is the catch. The trail is steep and uneven, with sandy patches where a scooter's back wheel can slide out from under you. Confident riders treat it as part of the fun. If you're not one, park lower down and walk the last stretch. Nobody will think less of you. The restaurant fills at busy times and a ten-minute wait for a table isn't unusual, so go early if you'd rather not wait in line in the heat.
