Krabi River Hotel
( 0 7561 2321; krabiriver@hotmail.com; 73/1 Th Khong Kha; r from 1000B; )
Sure, it feels like a
flashback from the early 1980s, but rooms have newly tiled bathrooms and queen-sized
beds, and offer terrific views of the dark river and misty mangroves. Quiet, yet in town,
it's a simple place in a five-star location.
