2 Best Hotels in Phuket and the Andaman Coast, Thailand

This popular budget property is one of the largest (and oldest) hotels in Krabi---rooms in the new wing are more modern. Look for the rooms labeled "new style." Both buildings are near the night market and the river.

It's pretty basic, but the Krabi River Hotel, on the banks of Khlong Krabi Yai, is a good budget option with pleasant views. The decor is nothing special but it's clean and comfortable, and it's a short stroll to some riverside eateries.
