Krabitown: This is where you should stay in Krabi
When a vast majority of people come to Krabi they all head to the beach and I am here to tell you why you should not do this.
Krabi isn't just a beach area. Many people presume that it is just one place but it actually a province (one of 76 i think) and there are actually many places to stay in it.
Whilst visiting Ao nang, Phi-Phi, Nopparat-Thara, Khao Lak, Klong Muang, Tub Kaek, or a wide variety of other places you are still actually visiting Krabi..... and there is one place most people bypass and they really shouldn't.
most popular statue in all of Krabi-town
The reason why people should at least consider staying in Krabi-town is because it is real Thailand. When i say "real" Thailand i mean that that goes on there would continue to go on with or without tourism. The morning markets, the night markets, and the festivals that take place have little to do with whether or not people happen to be visiting from abroad.
Therefore, if someone is booking their holiday / vacation to try to experience something different I would say that this is very unlikely to happen if they are visiting a popular tourist beach.
The other reason that someone should consider staying in Krabi-town is because the prices for accommodation are going to be considerably lower than staying at tourist beaches. There is a reason why a vast majority of the customers in Krabi-town happen to be Thais: They know about the inflated tarrifs charged at the beaches and we, as travelers do not.
All of Krabi-town is on the river and there is a wonderful walking street that takes you past this and many places that have been intentionally set up to have art and displays available to anyone who is visiting.
If someone is concerned about missing out on "ocean stuff" while visiting you need to keep in mind that the popular beach areas, especially Ao Nang, are not necessarily closer to the things that are featured in advertisements. You are also MUCH more likely to be charged more for these things if staying at the beaches as opposed to staying in the town, which is in many cases closer and more convenient to reach the island trips than staying at the beach.
You can expect to pay as low as $8 a night if staying in K-town (that is what we call it.) There is no chance you will pay this little at the beach areas.
I am just trying to save you some money.

Hello sir @gooddream it's been a long time, I was busy with my university exams. It seems I have a lot to catch up with.
The crab town looks beautiful and interesting. The Krab statue and other stuffs are really awesome.
I really appreciate your efforts of telling people about different places and interesting places like the crab town. I also like traveling, but have not travelled outside my country yet, but will do soon.
Keep up the good work. I will be around to see more.
I want to go just to see the giant crab statue
Thank you so much for this article and also thank you for try to save our some money...
many of my friends tell me about Thailand .
it's really a beautiful country
Many people probably do not know these things, so thanks for the recommendations. At some point in my life I would like to travel to know many places with great tourist demand and it is always very useful to have this information that is not easily obtained. By the way good photos were fascinating that causes to go to that place.
@gooddream Now it's official. You finally have been able to convince me to get a Thailand Visa, maybe I will try dual-citizenship. I really love the pictures and the places. They are so colourful and beautiful. This is not the Thailand I see in movies here in m country. Thanks patroitic citizen. You should be awarded with a degree in Culture and Tourism, haha.
Look really an amazing city, i hope to visite Thailand one day.😊
