The Fong Krabi Resort
Compare prices
Tucked along Thanon Vatchara in the Pak Nam neighbourhood of Krabi, The Fong Krabi Resort stands out less for grand facilities and more for the genuine warmth of the people running it. Owner Tony is consistently praised by guests for his attentiveness, generosity, and ability to make visitors feel personally looked after — a quality that is increasingly rare in resort accommodation at any price point. Staff members such as Wannipa have also drawn specific recognition for going beyond standard service expectations.
The resort strikes a balance between simplicity and comfort, offering a clean, quiet environment that suits travellers who want to unwind rather than navigate a sprawling property. Its location near Pak Nam provides easy access to Krabi's most popular day-trip destinations, including the Phi Phi Islands and Railay Beach, with boat tours and water activities readily arrangeable in the area. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, making it a natural fit for couples, solo travellers, and anyone seeking a relaxed base for coastal exploration.

I am giving this resort 5 stars for Tony the restaurant owner who stole our hearts!!! We will not forget the generosity and gratitude that he consistently showed us throughout our stay. The housekeeping team, restaurant staff and Nicki all made our stay easy and pleasant. The room itself was not luxurious but has the most basic amenities like AC, soap, general shampoo, coffee and a daily bottle of water, aside from that the resort is beautiful. I have attached some photos for reference. + a bonus is the resort’s puppy Temi blessing us with her presence every morning.
Quiet, beautifully run, and exactly the kind of place you hope to find in Krabi but rarely do. The Fong is calm, clean and perfectly balanced between comfort and simplicity. Tony is an exceptional host, warm, attentive, passionate and his cooking is absolutely amazing. The whole team is genuinely kind and welcoming. And Tammi, the best doggo ever, greets you every morning and night. A true hidden gem. I cannot wait to be back!
Toni is the absolute kindest, warmest person I have ever met with a heart of gold. The Hospatality and kindness he has shown through my stay at the Fong I will never forget. The atmosphere, rooms and food is amazing, feels like home. I can’t wait to come back in the future. Toni is the best in the business.
