Location & what to see
The Tara River sits on Khongkha Road in Krabi Town, the provincial capital on Thailand's Andaman coast in the south of the country. The town has a relaxed, everyday feel, with shophouses, street stalls and temples, and it makes a quieter base than the beach resorts of Ao Nang, which lie a drive away.
The City Pillar Shrine is 250 m from the hotel, while the Wat Kaew Korawaram pagoda, the Krabi Weekend Night Market and the Krabi Walking Street are all within the town. The Andaman Art Museum is a little farther, and the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) is 7.3 km away. Krabi International Airport (KBV) is 8.1 km away. Railay Beach has no road access and is reached by longtail boat, so a boat trip there is a separate outing from the town itself.
A good day could begin at the Tiger Cave Temple and continue with an afternoon at Ao Nang Beach, 10.9 km away, or a boat trip to Railay Beach from there. Back in town, the Krabi Walking Street and the night market are a simple place to finish the day, and the City Pillar Shrine is only 250 m from the hotel.
