Bor Thor Kayaking: Lod Cave, the Paintings and the Four Tours
Bor Thor kayaking in Ao Luek, an hour from Ao Nang: Lod Cave's tunnel, the cave paintings at Pee Hua Toh, half or full day, and the four GetYourGuide tours with their prices and reviews. Checked November 2026.
Bor Thor is a village in Ao Luek District, about an hour’s drive from Ao Nang, where kayak tours paddle through the mangroves to two caves: Lod Cave, a tunnel under the cliffs with stalactites, and Pee Hua Toh, whose walls carry prehistoric paintings. Fewer operators sell it than Ao Thalane, and each listing has only a few reviews. If the caves are why you are going, book Koh Tour’s Krabi: Historic Bor Thor Caves Kayaking Tour with Lunch, from US$58 a person (checked November 2026): pickup, the two caves and an inner lagoon, lunch by the river, a swim at Tha Pom, and the entrance fees.
The prices below are from-prices; the calendar shows the price for your date.
What you paddle to
Lod Cave is a natural tunnel through the limestone that you paddle into, with stalactites and stalagmites overhead. Pee Hua Toh Cave (also written Pee Hua Too or Phi Hua To, the “big-headed ghost” cave) has rock paintings estimated at around 3,000 years old, in a cave believed to have been a burial place. Koh Tour’s day also goes into the inner lagoon of Tham Khao Wong, surrounded by cliffs.
The caves need care: keep the noise down, do not touch the walls or the paintings, and follow the guide.

The review counts are small, so a single bad day would move these ratings a long way. Pick by what you want from the day: the caves and a swim (Koh Tour), the caves in half a day (Oh-Hoo), or the caves plus a big walk-through cave and a temple (Anda Krabi Seatour; covered shoulders and long trousers or skirts for the temple).

Bor Thor or Ao Thalane?
Choose Bor Thor for the caves and the paintings, and for a longer day out of the beach towns. Choose Ao Thalane for the mangrove channels and the canyons, a shorter day, three sessions to match the tide, and many more reviews to judge by: mangrove kayaking in Krabi covers it. Bor Thor costs more, from about US$50 against US$32 to US$40 for an Ao Thalane half day on the dates we read, but the Bor Thor days include lunch.
