Susaan Hoi is an archaic petrified shell cemetery located about 18 kilometres from Krabi town centre on a 200 metre stretch along Ban Laem Pho. This shell cemetery is considered by recent scientific experts to date back 40-25 million years, although local folklore claims it’s even older at 75 million years. The cemetery came into being after the limestone deposits in the water covered and fossilised shellfish, snails and a variety of other sea creatures creating slabs of intricate geological relics. This is great place to visit if you’re interested in geology or historical artefacts and is claimed to be one of only three such shell cemetery sites in the world. There are also mangrove forests worth exploring close by. Be warned that the fossil stones at full daylight may not be looking particularly spectacular, since they visually resemble large concrete blocks. It is highly recommended, though, to experience the beauty of the surroundings in the morning.
