Khlong Thom is a rural area of Krabi province, inland from the coast of southern Thailand, where forest runs up to hot springs and waterfalls. The setting is quiet and green, and the hotel's gardens and hot spring bath are a good reason to stay put for a day or two rather than heading straight for the beaches.

The Khlong Thom hot spring waterfall is 700 m from the hotel, and Krabi Hot Springs lie a little further on. Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot) is 6.5 km away, a forest pool with clear turquoise water, and the Khao Pra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary protects forested hills in the wider area. Krabi International Airport is 31.5 km away, and a car is the easiest way to reach the sights further afield.

Railay Beach, reached by longtail boat from Ao Nang, is 42 km away and is known for its limestone cliffs and clear water. A good day from here combines the hot spring waterfall and the Emerald Pool with a visit to Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), a hillside temple reached by a long staircase, which is also worth the trip. Because the hot springs and waterfalls are close together, the hotel works well as a base for a few quiet days in Khlong Thom before moving on to the coast.
