Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The interior was not open when I arrived. You could only look at the outside. The Temple was very quiet when I was there - in fact I think I saw only one other visitor.
Perhaps worth stopping at if you are particularly interested for religious or cultural reasons. But less for a general audience.
There are some predominantly Thai-language information boards around the perimeter.

if you like it new and colorful, you will love this temple. it's all new, with nothing of value, but with a hell of a kitschy painting inside. it is big, on the outside in reconstruction, and maybe a funny place for some pictures. that's all.

When we went here we were really shocked that it wasn't crowded. Most temples in Thailand are so packed you have to get there super early. For us it was mid day and we were the only ones there. Spent over an hour there really trying to see as much as we can. If you didn't know there is a monk school around the back of this temple so it was cool to see all the little kids and get that super local experience. Would recommend to someone traveling here.

The Wat Kaew Ko Wararam is a beautiful white temple seated above a hill in Krabi town. The temple has a few buildings attached and is opened free to the public.
The temple can be accessed by car right to the top or if you're going to Krabi Night Market, then you can walk up the stairs from the night market.

Wat Kaewkoraram in Krabi town is a very beautifully and simply decorated temple.
When you walk on the main street (Maharat Road) in Krabi Town on around the area at Vogue, one can not fail to see a beautiful white staircase that goes up to a small temple, the Wat Kaewkoraram. Go up there and see the temple is truly beautiful with a good view of the city. Behind the temple is the city's art museum, which is also worth a visit.

Wat Kaew Korawaram, also known simply as Wat Kaew, is the largest Buddhist temple within Krabi Town and one of the most prestigious in the entire region. It's Located on a hill overlooking Krabi downtown, it is accessible via an entrance plaza and a massive staircase with nāga sculptures. It is one of the largest temples in Krabi, the temple dates back to 1887, Monks who arrived first to this district, established a dwelling which would become Wat Kaew Korawaram. The centre of Wat Kaew (opposite the actual temple) is Now Krabi Contemporary Art Museum. White color, dark blue painted roofs and the vast yards are the main characteristics of the temple. Inside the main hall there's a golden sitting Buddha in Bhumisparsha Mudra position in a peaceful space. I went to the temple from Ao nang by a motorbike, it took about 40 minutes riding through an amazing & charming road. Going to the temple by motorbike is highly recommended.

We went on Jan 27th and it's currently covered in scaffolding. We looked inside but the outside doesn't look very good at the moment.
