For travellers who plan to explore the coast and islands, the town is a practical place to start, since boats leave from its piers and the airport can be reached with the hotel's transfer service.
The Krabi Weekend Night Market, 650 m away, is a place to browse in the evening, and Andaman Art Museum and Wat Kaew Korawaram, a pagoda in town, are also close by. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), 6.1 km away, is a hillside temple known for its climb and its cave shrine. Krabi International Airport is 7.9 km away, while Ao Nang Beach, 10.9 km away, is a busy resort beach and Railay Beach, 10.7 km away, is reached by boat, with limestone cliffs rising above the sand.
