I live here in thailand and am going to Krabi for the first time.I am looking for a good hotel that is on or near the beach in an area with restaurants,nitelife etc....Bungalow,hotel are fine...my budget is around 1500-2000 bht if possible.....I plan to explore the island but I don't want to stay in a remote area.If there are any good ideas as to how to spend my days and nites I would surely welcome the advice.

thanks,

eric

Phra nang Inn is fit

but you have to book via agencies' websites (~2000-2200 Bht )

from the map below

area 1 : you can find some cheap guesthouse around there but this area you can swim (It's for taxi boats)

area 2 : this beach is for swimming
