General Information about Krabi
Krabi is the gateway to the islands of Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi or Railay but the city and its area have much to offer. Going to Krabi without taking time to take a long tail tour on the river among mangroves and limestone mountains or without visiting the cave temples is a great pity. have dinner at the night market near the pier of Tha Khong Ka. The food is tasty and very cheap. Here you are really in typical Thailand atmosphere. Budget accommodation there are numerous (especially near the pier).And for those who love relaxing on the beach, go to Ao Nang, 16 km away. There is a beautiful beach with amazing sunsets. The accommodation prices are higher.
Accommodations in Krabi
When we speak of Krabi, it is important to distinguish the town itself where small accommodation and very cheap guesthouses offering dorm beds are very numerous near Chao Fah Pier and Ao Nang beach about twenty kilometers from the town. In general, travelers go sleep at Ao Nang beach and its beautiful sunsets. Rooms rates are significantly higher than in Krabi Town and it is very difficult to find a room for less than 1000 baht but there are some cheaper options. Book in advance as they rarely have rooms available in high season.Find accommodation in Krabi

How to get around in Krabi ?
in Krabi, no taximeter, just motorcycle taxis and songtahews used for the local buses lines. The most important for tourists is probably the white songthaew 8399 that goes from Krabi Bus Terminal, go through Krabi town, including Kong Fa Pier (from where boats depart for the islands and Railay and where most cheap guesthouses are located) and continues on Ao Nang before ending his trip at Shell Cemetery. Service between 7 am and 7 pm. So from the city, you can reach the bus terminal located 4 km from Krabi by taking the white or the red songthaews (price THB 20-30). Other songthaew can also take you elsewhere, ask your hotel or guesthouses or watch their inscriptions (sometimes only in Thai).There is also an hourly white bus shuttle from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang (route 8415) from 7 am to 6.30 pm. You can also use GRAB app (similar to UBER but UBER does not operate in Southestern Asia any more) to order a transportation.
