Krabi Heritage Hotel, Krabi

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, good food
Disadvantages: Can be wet in the wet season

...exciting to see how that would turn out. After a few days in Bangkok we went to Krabi: Going to Krabi On Monday 16th we went to Krabi. We had already booked tickets at home and the price is about 70 € per person one-way. Travelling from one place to another in the middle of the day automatically reduces your day to basically nothing. So I prefer going early in the morning or late at night. Our flight was about 4 p.m. Anyway; we had three options of going to the airport. 1: Hotel “limousine” was 700 bath which is too expensive. 2 option was a fixed price taxi and that was 350 baht including the express way charges. And the 3rd option was a meter-taxi. We chose the latter and the price in the end was 230 baht (160 for the taxi and 70 for the toll station). The flight to Krabi was nice and short (just over an hour) and the airport here... Read review

Advantages: Near perfection!
Disadvantages: Sanitation can be basic!

...I don't know why I'm telling everyone about this idyllic location because it's presently the 8th wonder of the world and could be spoilt. However, Krabi, or more specifically, Rai Lay Beach is what dreams are made of! This is a place which can only be reached by longtail boat from Krabi Town or if arriving from Phi Phi via boat from Ao Nang. The accomodation can either be at top end (Dusit Rayavadee Resort), Mid-range (Langka Deng - but no walk-ins) or budget end (various bungalow options). All are within 5 mins. from the beach as you can walk from one side of the island to the other, at this point, in about 10 mins.. There are various bars and restaurants with their feet in the sand. The sea is crystal clear and you can take a longtail boat, very cheaply, to various outlying islands with Chicken Island definately worth a visit, though... Read review

Advantages: Good food, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: It rained a lot when we were there!

...Krabi is a lovely little town often used as a stopover on the way to the islands of Ko Phi Phi. However, it has more than enough going for it to keep you hanging around for more than a short while. We arrived by boat from Phi Phi in a torrential thunderstorm but were able to find a delicious bowl of steaming hot Tom Yam soup - accomodation too was easy to find, good quality and inexpensive. Don't miss the night market - the food is fantastic and there are loads of sights and smells. All in all well worth stopping for a while. The beaches and cliff formations around this area are also spectacular.... Read review
