The Property — Red Ginger Resort
Red Ginger Resort is a clean, no-fuss three-star property in central Ao Nang, a short walk from the beach and main strip. The lobby is cool, tiled and functional, with a small reception desk and a rack of leaflets for day trips. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a reliable bed and basic amenities, not atmosphere or frills.
Chronicles of Krabi
Krabi town began as a small fishing and trading settlement at the mouth of the Krabi River, gaining municipal status in the late 19th century under King Rama V. The province’s limestone karst coastline drew international backpackers in the 1980s, sparking a boom that transformed Ao Nang from a quiet farming village into Thailand’s third-busiest beach hub. Today Krabi still retains a working Thai character, with longtail boats, wet markets and temples alongside the resort strip.
Best Time to Visit
Full Krabi guide →Best months
November to February: low humidity, clear skies, calm sea; peak European season but manageable if you book ahead.
Peak / festival surge
Late December to mid-January (Christmas/New Year) and around Chinese New Year (late Jan–early Feb). Hotel rates double or triple; Ao Nang beach is packed with international and Chinese tourists.
Budget shoulder season
March and October: still decent weather (March hot, October end of monsoon), lower prices, fewer crowds especially in early March before Songkran.
Weather & packing
July is deep wet season: heavy downpours usually arrive in short afternoon bursts. Pack a light rain jacket, waterproof phone pouch, and quick-dry sandals – not a poncho, which is useless in a tropical cloudburst.
Live City Briefing — Krabi
- Ao Nang beachfront walkway was renovated in early 2026 with new lighting and seating; completion expected by June, should be ready for your stay.
- Direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Krabi have resumed on AirAsia twice daily since March 2026, easing connection times from Malaysia.
- The Andaman sea remains warm year-round, but July’s heavy rain can cause jellyfish blooms near shore; check local signage before swimming.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Red Ginger Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the pool or garden, away from the main road. These mid-floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but low enough for quick stair access if lifts are slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or main entrance, as they catch foot traffic and street noise from Krabi's busy roads. Also avoid rooms directly above the bar or restaurant area if the resort has a live music schedule.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms with a pool or partial garden view offer the best balance of privacy and scenery. Avoid front-facing rooms overlooking the street – you'll see local shops and traffic.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 are the quietest at this 3-storey property: far from the street and reception, with minimal lift use disturbance.
🔊 Noise notes
Krabi's main roads carry motorbike and songthaew noise from early morning until late evening. The resort's own bar/restaurant may have evening music until 10pm. Poolside rooms can hear chatter and splashing during the day.
Insider tips
If you're arriving by taxi or car, ask for a room at the back of the property (pool side) – it's noticeably quieter. Check-in early (before 2pm) to have a better choice of room position; otherwise, call ahead two days before to request a high floor.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Thai Baht, THB
Exchange money at SuperRich or similar shops in town for decent rates; avoid the airport kiosks and tourist-bureau desks where rates are 5-10% worse.
Visa/Mastercard accepted at mid-range hotels, larger restaurants and tour shops; street stalls, local buses and small cafes are cash-only; contactless is still rare outside big chains.
Not expected but appreciated: round up the bill in local restaurants, leave 20-50 baht for hotel cleaners, and tipping taxi drivers isn't standard unless they help with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Iced coffee from a street vendor or 7-Eleven – around 25-40 baht.
Pad Thai or rice dish from a local food stall – about 50-70 baht.
Simple stir-fried or curried main at a streetside restaurant – roughly 80-120 baht.
Krabi Town night market (walkable from centre) and Ao Nang's main strip have plenty of stalls selling satay, som tam and grilled fish.
7-Eleven is prolific for basics; bigger shops like Makro or Lotus's for bulk groceries in Krabi Town.
Krabi Town walking street market for cheap T-shirts, shorts and beachwear; haggling expected.
Songthaew (shared pickup truck) in town – 10-20 baht per ride; from Krabi Airport take the airport bus (150 baht) or share a minivan with others (about 200 baht per person).
Eat at local food stalls rather than tourist-facing restaurants; negotiate prices on long-tail boat tours; buy water and snacks at 7-Eleven instead of the beach kiosks.
