Local knowledge for Krabi

Where to stay

Krabi Town is where budget travelers get the best value: hostels cluster near Thanon Maharaj and the Chao Fah Pier, prices run 30-50% lower than Ao Nang, and you're walking distance from the night market. Ao Nang suits you better if you want beach access and don't mind paying for it.

Getting around

Buy ferry tickets to Phi Phi or Koh Lanta directly at Chao Fah Pier in Krabi Town rather than through Ao Nang tour desks. Same boats, 50-100 THB cheaper per ticket.
The longtail to Railay Beach from Ao Nang costs 100 THB per person when you wait for a shared boat. Operators will quote 600 THB for an immediate 'private' crossing on the exact same 15-minute route.
The Thanon Khong Kha walking street in Krabi Town runs Friday through Sunday evenings with cheap local food. Go there instead of the tourist restaurants on Ao Nang beach road.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest from May through October when monsoon weather keeps crowds away. December and January are the hardest months to find a bed at any price.
