Raya Hotel Krabi is in Pak Nam, in Mueang Krabi District, the district that includes the provincial capital. Travellers who want to explore the town and the coast by day, rather than staying on a beach strip, will find it a practical base. The surroundings mix town streets, markets and temples, with the beaches and islands reached by road and boat.

Tiger Cave Temple, known locally as Wat Tham Suea, is a hilltop temple about 5 km away, reached by a long flight of steps. The Krabi Weekend Night Market, 2.6 km from the hotel, is the place for street food and local goods at the weekend, and it makes a good evening outing. Ao Nang Beach is 10.6 km away, and Railay Beach, reached only by longtail boat, is 10.7 km away. Car hire is available at the hotel for trips to the beaches.

A good day could start at the Ban Talat Kao fresh market, then continue along the Mangrove Boardwalk, a walkway through the mangrove forest on the coast. In the afternoon, head to Tiger Cave Temple, and keep the evening for the Krabi Weekend Night Market if you are there at the weekend. Railay is best treated as a separate day, since the only way there is by longtail boat, and Poda and Tup islands are also reached by boat.
