Soft Blue Home sits in Krabi Town, the provincial capital on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand, a compact town of markets, temples and shophouses. It works well for those who want a base in town rather than on a beach, with the sea and the limestone cliffs a short trip away. Its streets are lined with shophouses, and the pace is slower than the resort beaches further along the coast.

The Krabi Walking Street and the Krabi Weekend Night Market are both within 1 km, and Wat Kaew Korawaram, a pagoda, is 650 m away. Krabi International Airport lies 9 km from the guesthouse, and Ao Nang Beach, the main beach area of the coast, is 9.8 km away. Getting around the town on foot is simple for the markets and temples.

A good day could begin at Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), 7.3 km away, where a long flight of steps climbs to a cave shrine. In the afternoon, head to Ao Nang, from where longtail boats reach Railay Beach and its limestone cliffs. Boats to the islands leave from the piers in town, including Chaofa Pier, and the Krabi Walking Street makes a lively end to the day once the sun goes down.
