Chronicles of Krabi
Krabi Province, where the New Bungalow is located, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, when it was a major trading hub between the Khmer Empire and the Malay Peninsula. The city's architectural evolution is evident in its mix of ancient temples, Chinese shophouses, and modern resorts. Today, Krabi is a cultural melting pot, with a strong emphasis on traditional Thai cuisine, festivals, and handicrafts. The city is also home to the iconic Tiger Cave Temple, a 13th-century Buddhist temple perched atop a 1,237-foot-tall hill. Krabi's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its natural beauty and rich heritage, making it a unique destination for visitors.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to New Bungalow, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor (3rd or 4th floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's address in Krabi suggests it's located near a busy street. The 3-star rating and lack of specific amenities suggest a standard, no-frills setup, so a room on a higher floor may offer some respite from street noise. The hotel's lift data indicates it's a relatively small lift, so expect some waiting time, but upper floors may be less affected by lift noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance, as this area may be prone to staff chatter and occasional noise from deliveries. The hotel's location in Krabi, a bustling tourist destination, may also mean that rooms facing the street could be noisy, especially during peak hours.
Best views
Rooms facing the east (morning sun) or west (evening sunset) may offer pleasant views of the surrounding area, but this is not guaranteed due to the limited data.
