The grooviest
hostel on the Andaman coast and ranked as one of Asia's three best, this converted
school house (Krabi's first) features several uber-hip polished-cement 8- and 10-bed
dorms, all co-ed and named for school subjects. The big wooden bunks are built into the
wall; each is equipped with a personal locker.
There's only two double rooms, constructed in the same style. All rooms share
massive, modern bathrooms with hot water. There are two on-site bars (one with nightly
live music) and a young, fun-loving vibe. Consider it your Real World Spring Break wak-
ing dream. You may never leave.
