Air Asia Krabi accommodations

[echo1actual]

Recent post advises that their are now Air Asia low cost flights available to Krabi from Chiang Mai, and would any of the members have a recommendation for accommodations in Krabi or the vicinity?

Depends on what you want. Agoda has lot's.

You are aware that Krabi is not on the ocean it is about 11 miles inland give or take.

Not sure of the name of the community on the ocean. Look in Agoda for Krabi and you will find it.

You can also try directrooms.com

found 267 hotels listed in and around Krabi with some great deals.

I know you can dig around on sites like these and booking.com, but it's always better in my view to get a personal recommendation from someone who has stayed somewhere they really liked.

Hellodolly,

Krabi is on the sea at the mouth of a river, not 11 miles inland. It is the Provincial capital and not much of a holiday town (has no beaches) Ao Nang is 14km away and is a holiday town with beaches, bars etc.

Use Agoda, Trip Advisor, Expedia etc. to find where you want to stay then contact the hotel direct (in Thai if you can). The season is slow getting started this year, whatever TAT says, you can often get a cheaper rate than the booking companies as the hotel saves the 20% + fee. Don't shout about it as their contract with these booking companies precludes them doing this.

I like the town of Krabi itself, not the tourist centre of Ao Nang. I have stayed at the Dee Andaman Hotel a few times.

I get their Superior DeLux Room with 15% discount for ฿1530 per night including breakfast for two. It is a good walk into town if you don't have a car but the hotel is really good and the staff are the best.

Thanks for that. I thought I'd grab a few days at the beach for achange and take advantage of the new AirAsia deal so I will head to Ao Nang and risk it being touristy-just need to sort the hotel...
