Argh! Completely at a loss at where to stay!

Will be arriving at Krabi airport in afternoon on 23 November and departing for Bangkok on 30 Nov/1 December.

I am very keen to stay for a couple of days in Krabi somewhere, then move on to Koh Phi Phi Don and then possibly to Ko Lanta. Is this too much?

Would like to stay in relatively luxurious accommodations but the problem seems to be that, in all three places, the better accommodation appears to further away from the area where there would be a good choice of beach restaurants/bars etc. I don%26#39;t wish to be in the thick of bars and clubs etc i.e. right in Ao Nang in Krabi or Ton Sai in Phi Phi but to stay somewhere like the Sheraton in Krabi or the Zeavola in Phi Phi seems to limit you to eating and drinking in resort.

Anyone able to advise on suitable places?

Many thanks.

Ao Nang has several eating establishments.

For only a couple days, have you considered staying at West railay? The scenery is GORGEOUS with limestone cliffs surrounding the area, fine white sand soft beaches and beautiful water. Most of the restaurants are on the resorts, but not the way you might think. They all sit right in front of the beach and are open air. There is a menu usually in front of each of them so you can look them over before you decide if you want to eat there. You can just walk along the beach and choose a restaurant. There is one restaurant/bar not associated to a resort on west railay. Not sure how many on the east side, which is only a 5 min walk from the west. But there are more restaurants/bars on the east end. You can eat /drink at any of them.

We stayed at Railay Village and loved it! 2 gorgeously landscaped swimming pools. Large spacious immaculately clean rooms with large bathrooms with seperate shower and tub.

Railay Bay also gets good reviews, and has rooms ranging from your basic room up to villas.

Railay is about a 10-15 min longtail boat away from Ao Nang and it%26#39;s cheap and easy to get back and forth.. except after dark, it gets more expensive and more difficult.

Anyway, highly recommend West Railay for your Krabi portion.

Whilst I would highly recommend the Amari Vogue Resort located on the amazing Tub Kaek beach, there are no other restaurants apart from that offered at The Tubkaak Resort within walking distance.

There are a handfull of local restaurants and an Irish pub located within walking distance of the Sheraton, Nakamanda and just within reach of the Sofitel.

In any case, most of the resorts offer a free shuttle service into Ao Nanag, although you will need to catch a taxi back...
