Best Places to Stay for Beaches
Railay Beach is home to some of Thailand's most beautiful scenery. Although it feels like an island, it's actually a peninsula that's only accessible by boat, within a 15-minute ride from Ao Nang. Choose a hotel near the white sands of Railay West Beach for lazy days in the sun, with a backdrop of lush jungles. A stay near Phra Nang Beach offers rock climbing and swimming beneath limestone cliffs. For a touch of luxury surrounded by gentle, blue-green waves, islets in the sea, and powder-soft sand, find a room along the shores of Tubkaek Beach.
Ao Nang
If you're spending some time in Ao Nang, Ao Nang Beach and Ao Nang Landmark Night Market are top sights worth seeing.

Where to Stay for Culture and History
Krabi Town is a great base for exploring historic sites and sampling Thai culture, both traditionally and with a glimpse of modern local life. Wat Kaew Korawaram is perched on top of a hill overlooking the town and is one of the most significant Buddhist temples in the region. Inside, beautiful frescoes highlight scenes from Buddha's life. Find a hotel near Krabi Tiger Cave Temple to allow plenty of time to hike up more than 1,000 stairs. Otherwise known as Wat Tham Sua, the temple was created from natural limestone caves. Inside are shrines, pottery remains, and sculptures, along with 360-degree views from the top.
