Location & what to see
Chanchalay Hip Hostel is in Krabi Town, the provincial capital on Thailand's Andaman coast, on Utarakit Road in T. Paknum. It is a small, relaxed town, with lanes of shops and a night market close by, and it works well for travellers who want to be in the town rather than in a resort.
Several sights are a few kilometres away. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), a hilltop temple reached by a long flight of stairs, is 7 km away. Railay Beach, which is reached by longtail boat and is known for its limestone cliffs, is 10.4 km away, and Krabi International Airport is 8.1 km away.
A good day could start at Tiger Cave Temple and end at Krabi Walking Street, where the stalls open in the evening. For a day on the water, boat trips to Poda Island and Tup Island offer swimming and snorkelling, and Ao Nang Beach is another stop on the coast. Evenings in town are the easiest part of the day to fill, with the night markets and the street stalls within a few hundred metres of the hostel, so the walk back from dinner is short and easy for anyone staying at the hostel.
What guests say
Travellers rate the cleanliness (9.3) highest, with the service, location and value for money also scoring 9.1, so the stay is well rated across the board.
