About Krabi and Koh Lanta
Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Koh Lanta sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.
Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.

We had a great time at The Blue Gecko. George and his team were always very caring and friendly whatever we needed for. The location is perfect and the beach is 3mins walking. We’ve explored the island with a scooter and here at Long beach is definitely the best in everything. Location, restaurants, best beach and best services. At this hotel you really have an authentic Thai experience. Highly recommended ;-)

The location is just brilliant you wake up walk couple of minutes to the the beach dip and then walk back to enjoy an amazing breakfast.
Really beautiful relaxing place, highly recommended!
Had a wonderful stay at this resort. The location is perfect — just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sun and sea every day. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Breakfast was a highlight each morning, with a good variety and fresh options. Ideal spot for a relaxing beach escape.

17/01/2026 14:25Great place to stay in Koh Lanta! Just 1min walk to Long Beach and some really good restaurants on the same street. George (the owner) along with his staff was superfriendly and gave a lot of different tips for restaurants and places to visit while on the island! Also really liked that your ordered your breakfast from a menu which meant it was always hot and fresh! They also helped us with renting scooters and transport from Koh Lanta. 10/10 both me and my girlfriend would recommend staying here to someone going to Koh Lanta.
