About Krabi and Khlong Muang
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. Khlong Muang 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.

Usually restaurants called “The Best” are actually shitty. That is NOT the case here.
No shoes on in the restaurant, which is actually kind of nice that they enforce this rule out of respect.
The food and flavors here are incredible. Simply some of the best we have eaten in Thailand. We had mango spicy salad, green curry rice, and pad Thai. Sunset at Klong Muang beach and then dinner here? You have the perfect night in Krabi without the headache and ridiculous prices of Ao Nang.
I have to say, this was hands down the best meal I’ve ever had in Thailand. Despite being incredibly simple and affordable, every bite was bursting with flavor. The dish was delicate yet satisfying, perfectly balanced, and absolutely unforgettable. Sometimes the simplest meals are the most remarkable, and this one is a perfect example. I can honestly say it’s a culinary experience I’ll never forget.
People here are super friendly, atmosphere feels local-traditional, wouldnt change a thing.
The best restaurant is worthy of its name – the food there is so excellent that the name is not just a word, but a truth.
Meals on the pic: Mango sticky rice, Pad Thai with fried egg on the top, Fried rice omelett with chicken, Mixed vegetables salad.
Not best - worst restaurant.
My first bad experience in entire Thai.
Strongly not recommend .
We placed an order, and a young waitress said it would take 15 minutes to fill it. We ended up waiting almost 40 minutes to get our first course, soup. Then they brought us seafood that was overcooked / burnt on the grill. Instead of fixing the situation, the same young waitress started being rude to people twice her age, throwing menus on the table and trying to argue something, saying, "You don't have to eat this, but you'll pay for it." A portion of burnt grilled squid cost 300 baht, which costs 100 baht at the market. The ones at the market aren't overcooked and are much tastier. Same thing with a portion of shrimp. The worst place in the entire area, both in terms of customer service and food. I strongly advise avoiding this place; there are plenty of good places nearby where the prices are lower, the food is tastier, and the staff treats customers better.
We popped here for dinner because it was super close to our hotel (Anyavee Krabi Resort) and we we're very happy with our choice. Far better than the restaurant on the resort.
The food and service was excellent. They made my Spicy Mango salad "Thai spicy" which I immediately regretted and was shocked to learn that they eat it spicier than that! Tom Yum soup and Chocolate Roti we're great. Definitely a tasty and fun place eat.
Really love this place, just a 3-minute walk from Klong Muang Beach.
We stop here for lunch every time we come to the beach.
The atmosphere is super friendly, and the place is clean and nicely set up.
We’ve tried different dishes like curry, tom yum and papaya salad, and everything has been tasty and made exactly to the spice level we asked for.
My personal favorite is the roti. It’s more expensive than street roti, but it looks great and tastes amazing.
Prices are affordable and the toilet is clean.
The only small thing for me is the shakes. Some days they feel a bit watery.
Overall, still highly recommend this place.
