Krabi Phetpailin Hotel
Krabi Phetpailin Hotel is a simple hotel in Krabi Town. It can suit travellers who want a cheaper base for transport, food, tours and getting around Krabi without paying Ao Nang beach prices.
This is better as a practical town stay than a beach holiday hotel. If you are planning to spend most of your time exploring, it may be worth checking.
Location: Krabi Town
Baan Andaman Bed & Breakfast Hotel
Baan Andaman Bed & Breakfast Hotel is a small budget-friendly place in Krabi Town. It can work well if you want a simple stay before heading to Ao Nang, Railay, Koh Phi Phi or the islands.
This is not a beach resort, but Krabi Town can be handy for markets, food, transport and boat connections. Check the location suits your plans before booking.
Location: Krabi Town
Green House Hotel
Green House Hotel is another affordable Krabi Town option. It is useful if you want a central town stay close to local food, markets and transport, rather than paying for a beach location.
This is a practical choice for travellers using Krabi Town as a base. If you want to walk straight onto Ao Nang Beach, choose one of the Ao Nang hotels instead.
Location: Krabi Town
Sunda Resort
Sunda Resort is in the Nopparat Thara / Ao Nang area. It can suit travellers who want a quieter resort-style stay while still being close enough to Ao Nang and the beach areas.
This is a better option if you want a bit more space and greenery than a simple town hotel. Check the map carefully, as it is not right on Ao Nang Beach.
Location: Nopparat Thara / Ao Nang, Krabi
Tonsai Bay Resort
Tonsai Bay Resort is on Tonsai Beach, near Railay. It is a good one to check if you want the limestone cliff scenery, beach access and the laid-back climbing area feel.
Tonsai is not as polished as Ao Nang or Railay West, and that is part of the appeal. It is better for travellers who want a more relaxed, slightly rough-around-the-edges beach stay.
Location: Tonsai Beach, Krabi
Krabi Heritage Hotel
Krabi Heritage Hotel is in Ao Nang and is a useful affordable-to-mid option if you want to stay close to the main tourist area without going too high-end.
Ao Nang is the easiest Krabi base for many visitors, with restaurants, shops, tour desks and longtail boat trips nearby. Handy, if not exactly untouched wilderness.
Location: Ao Nang, Krabi
Areetara Resort
Areetara Resort is in the Ao Nang / Nopparat Thara area and is worth checking if you want an affordable resort-style hotel with a pool and easy access to the main beach areas.
This area can work well if you want to be near Ao Nang but not right in the middle of the busiest section. Check the map to see whether the walking distance suits you.
Location: Ao Nang / Nopparat Thara, Krabi
Apasari Krabi Hotel
Apasari Krabi Hotel is near Nopparat Thara and Ao Nang, giving you access to the beach areas without always paying the main beach-road rates.
It is a good one to check if you want a straightforward hotel with a pool and a location that works for both Ao Nang and Nopparat Thara.
Location: Ao Nang / Nopparat Thara, Krabi
Haleeva Sunshine Hotel
Haleeva Sunshine Hotel is in Ao Nang and can suit travellers looking for a simple, affordable hotel close to the main town area.
This is more of a practical base than a beach resort. If you plan to spend your days on boat trips, beaches and tours, that may be all you need.
Location: Ao Nang, Krabi
The Verandah Hotel
The Verandah Hotel is an Ao Nang hotel in a handy position for restaurants, shops and getting around the main tourist area. It is worth checking if location matters more than resort space.
This is a practical stay for people who want to be close to the action and do not need a large resort. Ao Nang is built for convenience, for better or worse.
Location: Ao Nang, Krabi
The Palace Aonang Resort
The Palace Aonang Resort is another Ao Nang option to check if you want a central location and easy access to shops, restaurants, tour desks and the beach area.
This is best treated as a convenient base. Check current room photos and recent comments before booking, as older central hotels can vary a fair bit.
Location: Ao Nang, Krabi
Ao Nang Beach Resort
Ao Nang Beach Resort is a central Ao Nang option and is useful if you want to stay close to the main beach area, restaurants and longtail boat departures.
The location is the main reason to keep this one on the list. If you want simple and central, it is worth checking against current prices and reviews.
Location: Ao Nang Beach, Krabi
Sand Sea Resort
Sand Sea Resort is on Railay, one of Krabi’s most scenic beach areas. It may not always be the cheapest option, but it is a useful one to include because Railay accommodation is limited and often books quickly.
Railay is only reached by boat, so it feels different from staying in Ao Nang. Great scenery, limestone cliffs and beach access — just remember you are not driving up to the front door.
