The Property — The treasure bar
The Treasure Bar is a straightforward, budget-friendly 3-star hotel set in Krabi Town, not on the beach. Its lobby has a casual, slightly scruffy bar-and-reception combo, with a few stools and a shelf of spirits. The USP is location: close to the night market and ferry piers, making it a practical base for travellers who plan to spend days on the islands rather than at the hotel. It suits backpackers and independent travellers who value convenience over comfort.
Chronicles of Krabi
Krabi Town grew from a small fishing village into the administrative capital of Krabi Province, with a history stretching back to prehistoric times — cave paintings in nearby cliffs show early human habitation. Its modern development accelerated in the 1970s and 80s when tourism discovered the karst islands and limestone cliffs. Architecturally, the town retains a mix of old shop-houses and newer concrete buildings, with little of the polished gloss of Phuket. Contemporary Krabi is a gateway to Railay Beach, Koh Phi Phi and other islands, with a laid-back, unpretentious character.
Best Time to Visit
Full Krabi guide →Best months
December to February: dry, sunny days with lower humidity and reliable sea conditions; crowds are moderate, and prices are still reasonable compared to peak high season.
Peak / festival surge
December and January are the busiest, driven by European winter holidays and ideal weather; hotel prices can double. The Krabi Naga Festival (typically in November) and Loy Krathong in November also spike demand locally.
Budget shoulder season
March and April offer discounts of 20-30% compared to peak, with mostly hot but dry conditions and fewer tourists. May and June are cheaper still, but bring the start of the monsoon.
Weather & packing
Krabi’s climate has a short dry season (Dec-Feb) but can still see sudden tropical downpours even then. Pack a lightweight, packable rain jacket and quick-dry clothes; leave the umbrella at home.
Live City Briefing — Krabi
- The Krabi International Airport has added more direct flights from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore since early 2025, reducing transit times for regional visitors.
- The Krabi Riverfront Night Market recently expanded with additional food stalls and a designated seating area; it opens daily from 5pm until late.
- Several longtail boat services to Railay Beach have increased fares by around 50 baht since June 2025, due to rising fuel costs — check prices before booking.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The treasure bar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the pool or central courtyard (away from the street). These are high enough to reduce ground-level noise but still within easy reach via the single lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor or those directly above the bar/lobby area (likely room numbers 101–110 or similar). These get foot traffic, bar chatter, and engine noise from street-facing units.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing the pool or the garden side offer a quiet, green outlook. Street-facing rooms see Krabi town traffic and are less desirable.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (and possibly 5 if it exists) — further from the lobby, bar, and street-level activity.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a main road in Krabi town — motorbikes, songthaews, and tuk-tuks are common from early morning until late evening. The ground-floor bar can have music until around 11pm. The single lift can be loud if your room is adjacent to the shaft.
Insider tips
1. Check in early to request a pool-facing room — these are limited and often taken by repeat guests. 2. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room on the 4th floor away from the lift; it's quieter and gets better cross-breeze.
- 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
