We are embarking on a month long trip to Thailand in January and are basing ourselves around Krabi, Phang Nga and Takua Pa. Leg two of the trip sees us visiting Krabi and I can’t wait. We briefly stopped at Railay Beach West several years ago on a Phang Nga Bay Tour and saw the incredible lime stone cliffs. However it was over too quickly and now I have a whole list of the top sights to see in Krabi when we return.

Where to Stay In Krabi?
With so many beach hotel options available it was beginning to be a little overwhelming. Then Mr C stumbled upon something slightly different but still in the main area. A hotel which not only has an infinity pool with the dramatic limestone cliffs as the backdrop, but wooden cottages built around a lagoon! Where is this? Ban Sainai Resort just up the hill from Ao Nang Beach. I cannot wait to stay here and will write a review of our experience staying in one of the lagoon bungalows.

We are here for five nights in total and as long as we can hire a scooter reasonably quickly I am confident we can get to see most of the top sights to see in Krabi.
