Fodor's Expert Review The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort

This intimate resort is on a calm, lovely beach and the rooms have spectacular views of the Hong Islands. The elegant wooden buildings here resemble a kor lae, a traditional southern Thai fishing boat. All superior and deluxe rooms are a few steps from the free-form swimming pool, while the sea view villas are only steps from the beach. A cozy library and bar has books and games for rainy days and relaxing evenings, while Arundina Restaurant serves southern Thai specialities curated by celebrity chef David Thompson.
