財産 — The Old Times
The Old Times feels like a time capsule from the 1990s: dark-wood reception, a faded map of Krabi on the wall, and a ceiling fan that actually does the work. It's a 3-star guesthouse with clean, no-fuss rooms off the main drag of Ao Nang, aimed squarely at budget travellers who'd rather spend on longtail boat trips than on hotel frills. The USP is its location — walk to the beach in under ten minutes without the noise of the seafront bars. Standing in the lobby, you catch the faint smell of jasmine and hear the rumble of a tuk-tuk pulling up outside.
Krabiの歴史
Krabi town began as a small fishing village on the banks of the Krabi River, growing slowly until the 1980s when tourism discovered its limestone karsts and hidden coves. The province's name comes from 'Krabi' meaning 'sword', a reference to an ancient legend of a sword discovered in the area. Architecturally, Krabi has little of Phuket's Sino-Portuguese charm; instead, it's a low-rise sprawl of concrete shophouses, Buddhist temples and busy pier facilities. Today, the city functions as the transport and business hub for the province, while travellers base themselves in resorts along Ao Nang beach. Its cultural identity remains distinctly southern Thai, with a mix of Muslim and Buddhist communities, and a local cuisine that leans heavily on turmeric, coconut and fresh seafood.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Krabi完全ガイド →最高の月
December through February: near-zero rain, temperatures dip to a comfortable 28°C daytime, and the sea is calm for island-hopping without the Christmas crush. March and April are hotter but still dry.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
January is the absolute peak: European winter escapees, dry weather, and Ao Nang's main street is bumper-to-bumper scooters. Hotel prices can double from low-season rates. Chinese New Year (late January/early February) adds another spike with mainland tour groups.
予算肩の季節
May and June are the best budget bets: hotels drop prices 40-50%, rain comes in short afternoon bursts, and you'll share Railay Beach with a dozen people instead of a hundred. September is even cheaper but sees more persistent rain.
天気&パッケージ
Krabi's climate is a classic tropical monsoon: even in the 'dry' season, a random squall can dump rain for an hour. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof sandals — umbrellas are useless against the sideways gusts of a Krabi downpour.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Krabi
- The new Krabi International Airport terminal expansion completed in late 2025 has reduced immigration queues, but roadworks on Route 4034 still cause 20-minute delays between airport and Ao Nang.
- Railay Beach's walking street has a new ban on single-use plastics from January 2026 — visitors must carry reusable water bottles or buy from shops charging a deposit.
- Several longtail boat operators in Ao Nang have raised prices by 30 baht per trip since March 2026 due to higher diesel costs; negotiate group rates in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Old Times, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (floor 4-5 if a low-rise, or higher in the block) facing away from the main road. The Old Times sits on a busy Krabi street, so upper floors minimise traffic rumble and offer a quieter sleep.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-2, especially those facing the street or near the lift shaft. Ground-floor rooms catch street noise and early-morning motorbikes; near-lift rooms get clatter from other guests.
Best views
If facing the back of the building, you get a calm view of Krabi town's rooftops and maybe a sliver of the river; street-side views are of shopfronts and traffic. No sea or mountain vista worth writing home about.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above (if the building has 5+ floors) are generally quietest. The lift stops less frequently at the top, and the distance cuts road noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Krabi's main road is a constant hum of songthaews, motorbikes, and pickups from early morning until late evening. Weekend nights can be louder. The hotel's own bar or cafe could also add buzz until 10pm.
Insider tips
1) Check-in early (after 2pm) to secure a high-floor room; if you arrive late, ask politely to be moved next morning. 2) If street noise is a problem, request a room with double-glazing (common in newer 3-star hotels here) or bring earplugs.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
