[Wat
Tum
Sua
Location]

Traveling up the main road away from Krabi Town and the pier you'll come to a red light. Make a right. You'll see the mountain top Buddha and Chedi on your left. Go approximately 3 km and make a left at the signs for Wat Tum Sua.  Go another 1.5km and make a left at the sign.  Stock up on cold water at the stores before you get in to the temple area or pay a little higher price inside the temple complex at the convenience store there. Bring a snack too since your round trip if you climb to the top might take 3 hours since you'll want to stay at the top for a while.
