Brown Andaman Krabi stands on Phetkasem Road in Huai Nam Khao, Krabi, set inland rather than on the coast. The surroundings are hilly and green, with forest, hot springs and waterfalls around the Khlong Thom area, so this is a quieter base than the beach towns on the Andaman coast. Phetkasem Road runs past the property, and the hotel's own car park makes arriving by car straightforward. Nature is the main draw here rather than the beach strip.

The Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot), a forest pool of green water, lies 13.1 km away, and the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) is a hilltop temple reached by a long flight of steps. Krabi International Airport is 33 km away. For the coast, Ao Nang Beach is 41.5 km away, and Railay Beach, 39.6 km away, is reached by longtail boat from Ao Nang, with its limestone cliffs rising above the sand.

A good day could begin with the hot springs or the Emerald Pool, then move on to the Klongtom Museum and Wat Klongtom, both close by. Hot spring pools, waterfalls and forest walks make the area a good choice for a slower day, and the Wareerak Hot Spring Spa is an easy option for an afternoon.
