Booking for February 2009
Posted: Mon November 17, 2008 10:56 PM UTC

Hi, can anyone tell me:

1. Is it necessary to book accommodation in Krabi Town and surrounding resorts at the beginning of February?
2. If so, can you recommend a hotel to stay in Krabi town for a couple of nights? Not too expensive $30 -$40 a night. Maybe I am being unrealistic about prices?
3. And a nice resort or Island? Want to be able to have a late drink and a chat, meeting other people, but nothing hectic. We intend to do sea Kayaking and snorkling.

I am only in the are for around 10 days, and don't really want to book 1 place, I want to keep my options open.

I'd be grateful for any ideas.

Thanks =)

I once did a walk-in at The City Hotel in Krabi Town, paid around 350 baht/night, less than $10/night. It was clean, and right across the street is a great night market. They had a sister-hotel, the Riverside, about 1/2 mile away along the waterfront away from downtown near a large gas/petrol station.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out. You think I need to book ahead my whole stay in Krabi and resorts for Feb?

It depends on how you like to travel. Flexibility really helps in Thailand. It's still high season in February so it will be fairly crowded. Take that into account.

A friend of mine who lives in Hat Yai recommended some of the smaller islands to me, one of them being Koh Jum (he still says he prefers going to Penang for a holiday, but he's a cranky "grass is always greener" guy). I read all the info I could find on it and booked a hotel there. It's a ferry ride out of Krabi on the way to Lanta. I haven't arrived yet, so I can't offer any reviews, but it looks promising.

The Srisuksant Resort Krabi is very clean, our shower did not work very good, sometimes hot water or sometimes cold water, but for thailand this is very good, don´t expect much with the water supply, good food in hotel restaurant, you are given beach towels which we was surprised as not many hotels give you these, location is pretty good, near to shops & boats which will take you to railie beach, phi phi & other islands
