Best Hotels & Resorts in Krabi
50 places found in Krabi
Krabi offers Thailand's most dramatic hotel backdrops — limestone karsts rising from emerald seas, with some properties literally built into cliff faces. Ao Nang is the main tourist hub with the widest hotel selection, from budget 500 THB guesthouses to cliffside resorts. Railay Beach, accessible only by longtail boat, is the iconic choice — waking up to those towering karsts never gets old.
For families and longer stays, Klong Muang and Tubkaek beaches north of Ao Nang offer quieter, more spacious resort properties with lower rates. Krabi Town itself has the cheapest accommodation and a more authentic experience — great night markets, riverside dining, and easy access to island-hopping boats.
Krabi Cha-Da Resort

KOKO Hostel
Budget-friendly hostel in Ao Nang, Krabi, ideal for backpackers seeking a social base near beaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I stay in Ao Nang or Railay Beach?

November to March offers the best weather and calmest seas. April is hot but still dry. May to October is rainy season — hotel rates drop 30-40%, and while rain comes most afternoons, mornings are often clear. Some Railay properties close in low season.
