Does anyone have a favourite hotel in Krabi they would recommend for our family. The Rayavadee is way over our budget, but we would prefer to be on a beautiful beach in bungalow style accommodation, without being too cramped. <BR> <BR>Thanks <BR> <BR> <BR>Sue

Try Railei Beach Club which is next to the Rayavadee on Railei Beach. You can email them for info at [email protected] .. I haven't stayed there but we had a look around when we were at the Rayavadee and they have about 30 individual bungalows of varying size and facilities and it looked very well-maintained.

I stayed at Sandsea Resort Bungalows(Raylay Bay). Well situated and a cheap beach-front restaurant. I will go back there as soon as I can!!!. Hope this help.

Thanks for the recommendations. <BR> <BR>However, as normally 4 star travellers & never having done the "backpacking" style holiday, how do you think these places will suit us? We do not usually use all the 4star facilities, and we are not snobs, but I really like it to be quiet at night, clean, a good bathroom, comfy bed & not worrying about insects/rats/etc. Will these places still be appropriate. <BR> <BR>I would really appreciate comments. <BR> <BR>Regards, <BR> <BR>Sue
