Western Nopphara Thara guesthouses and hotels

On the far side of the river is the best part of Nopphara Thara Beach -- a long stretch of largely undeveloped sand -- one of Krabi's best little hideaways. You can reach it by motorbike, but the vast majority of visitors reach here by a one minute ride on the longtail. That one minute ride makes a world of difference -- there's no traffic and the only noise is the swaying trees that line the beach and maybe some distant chatter in one of the few restaurants. Haad Nopphara Thara is a lovely area - don't let the difficult name put you off! Unfortunately most of the resorts here shut down in low season.

Andaman is the closest to the river on Haad Nopphara Thara and the best value on the beach. The huts are basic but the position is good and it's reliably open year-round. They have two sets of ... Andaman Inn complete profile

Emerald Resort - Sliding downhill

This was once the flashest place on the beach, with a nice bar area, great staff and excellent bungalows. Time has taken its toll, alas, and it's now a shadow of its former self. The bungalows are ... Emerald Resort complete profile

Long Beach has very rustic bungalows with a rather odd-looking tree-house set up out front. It's a good basic spot. It appeared to be closed during our last visit during low season, but looks like it ... Long Beach complete profile

Eastern Nopphara Thara guesthouses and hotels

This is the poorer part of Nopphara Thara Beach. The beach is fine, but there is a quite busy road that runs its length and the more or less continual stream of tooting traffic and heavy trucks really takes away from the area.

This is a mid-range resort that opened late 2003, and the grounds are already starting to look a bit shabby and overgrown. The pool is of a decent size, but wedged into a courtyard with the resort ... Ao Nang Buri Resort complete profile

This is one of a handful of options right on the beach road, and it's not a bad pick if that's you're top priority. The concrete bungalows are quite well done, cool during the day, and the bathrooms ... Blue Bayou complete profile

This very quiet, low-key place is run by a Thai-Muslim family and offers clean, basic bungalows that are a good value for the money. It doesn't have the kind of atmosphere you'll get at the Laughing ... The Cashew Nut complete profile
