Krabi after dark
Evenings here are beach bars, not clubs. Ao Nang's Center Point and the Soi RCA strip carry the fire shows and buckets, generally winding down between one and two. Railay is quieter still, a few reggae bars along the East side mudflat. Krabi Town, where local life actually happens, is close to silent by eleven. The real parties are over on Ko Phi Phi.
What things cost in Krabi
A plate at Krabi Town's night market costs 50 to 80 baht, while an Ao Nang beachfront main runs 200 to 350. The Ao Nang to Railay longtail is 100 baht each way and the songthaew into Krabi Town about 60. A four-island longtail tour with lunch is 800 to 1,200 baht. Chang beer runs 70 to 120 depending where you sit.
What to eat in Krabi
Krabi Town's Walking Street, Friday to Sunday evenings around Maharaj Soi 8, is where southern Thai food is cheapest and best: gaeng tai pla, khao yam rice salad, roti from the Muslim stalls. Ao Nang's beachfront is priced for tourists rather than cooks. Southern curries run hotter than Bangkok's, and seafood at the night market is bought by weight before it is cooked.
What's actually worth your time in Krabi
Only a longtail reaches Railay, 100 baht from Ao Nang and fifteen minutes across, and its limestone walls, Phra Nang cave beach and climbing routes are the reason to come to Krabi at all. Tiger Cave Temple is free and roughly 1,260 steps straight up, so go before eight. The Four Islands and Hong Island boat days are the standard alternatives.
Krabi's museums, and which one to pick
Krabi has almost nothing museum-shaped, and the honest answer is that the geology is the exhibit. Wat Tham Suea's complex keeps a small collection of monastic relics and a cave shrine. Krabi Town's Contemporary Art Museum is modest and usually empty. For anything substantial you drive to the Thai Hua Museum in Phuket Town, roughly two and a half hours away.
