Krabi
Guesthouses, hotels and resorts
Chao Fa Pier Area
The area around Chao Fa pier has enough to satisfy most travellers. Traffic noise on Uttarakit Rd can be a real problem, so for peace and quiet, get a place well off the road or head somewhere else in town. Hotels in and around the town centre are more convenient to the shops and markets.

Fossil Shell Beach
Fossil Shell Beach is a handy getaway both from Krabi and the hordes of tourists you get throughout the province. There are only two places to stay here, that we know of -- if you find some more, let us know. A luxury development is under construction, but for now, it's a laidback sleepy part of Krabi province, with the occasional passing long-tail being about as exciting as it gets. Bring a good book.
