Why go, and how to do it well
The climb is the point here. This hillside shrine to Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, gives up its views in stages, so by the time you reach the main buildings you've already earned a few decent looks at the limestone karsts and the coast beyond. On a clear day the Andaman stretches out past Ao Nang and it's about as good an elevated view as Krabi hands out.
It's still a working place of worship, which matters. People come to pray, not just to photograph, and the mood on the grounds is quiet and unhurried in a way that Krabi's beachfront rarely is. Go at 7am if you can. It's cooler, the light is better, and you'll have the steps largely to yourself. Late afternoon works too, though you're climbing in whatever heat the day has left.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
Go Early Morning
Big-name temples are dramatically less crowded in the first hour after opening. You'll also avoid the worst of the midday heat and get softer light for photos.
