Krabi town is the main travel hub of the area with an international airport 20 minutes from the centre of town. From Krabi you can get to the beautiful beaches of Ao Nang and Klong Muang by road, either by yourself on a moped or on one of the many Saong-Tau's that run through town. There's also excellent connections on to Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, and Koh Jum as well as Phuket town by ferry. The nearest train station is in Tran, which is just a 2-hour minibus ride south.
The town itself is quite pleasant and is often overlooked as a destination itself. In our opinion if is a good base to start from.

The roof-garden really sells this one. There's adequate bathroom facilities for those rooms that don't have en-suite. The rooms are basic but that works. Good quality mattresses, good pillows and a small table with cushions in each room. En-suite is generally about 100B more for the room. What more can you want? Patrick told us that in the next few months they'll be upgrading their garden area to make it even more appealing for that sun-set beer!
Cha Guesthouse
Address: 15-25 Fah Road

With a chilled out area downstairs it's not a bad choice. The rooms do have a feel of a log-cabin though. Most come with a small balcony and the rooms are good and clean.

Travel Guides
Over 1,000 downloads of "A travellers Guide to Myanmar".
We've had over 27,000 hits in just 7 months! For some, that's nothing, for the charities we support, approx. 2% of our visitors visit on.Which means all of our hard work is worth it.
Looks like we'll be publishing an update to "A Travellers Guide to Myanmar" in September ready for the new season. And already we have Peter and Anne from Balmain, Sydney Australia on board to give us updates for their pending trip in October.
So we have "Fish out of Water" and "Powered by Noodles" and now "Cool for Cats" set to update us in Myanmar. Can you get any more up-to-date?
