Beach selection
The most popular part of the coast among tourists is not far from Krabi town. This is a line of beaches stretching from east to west from Aonammao to Klong Muang. Actually, in the same place and the entire infrastructure of the resort is concentrated, as well as a poor choice houses and villas. Speech about the village of Ao Nang.
There are no private houses on the coast, they are all located in 2-4 kilometers from the sea. Therefore, when choosing a house on Longstay, opportunities, do not get attached to the distance from the beach, because this there will be either not foot availability, or conditionally foot. Still 20 minutes in the heat on foot, not everyone will do. In general, if you are still If you want to walk, then you need to look for houses in the area of the mosque, there all major complexes are concentrated. Your beach in this case – Ao Nang Beach.
Season in Krabi
From May to October monsoon rains are watered, then a couple of months you can see cloudy and more or less stable weather, although the rain has not been canceled. January to April is golden a time when vacationers overflow the province.
If you are going to Longsteak, then most likely snapping your departure will not be to the monsoon, but to the weather in Russia and double tourist visa. To return back to relatively warm time of year, you need to start as late as possible, ideally November. You will be able to rent a house upon arrival this month, but it will be hut on the outskirts of civilization or a simple but very expensive house. The same house, only three months earlier, will cost two times cheaper, many winterkeepers understand this, so the peak of booking starts in August.
What types of housing are there in Krabi
Unlike Samui, where they offer any type of housing, Krabi is still in the stage of coarse customization for the client. The main orientation of the infrastructure and housing base of the resort – on short-term tourist. Hotels, many guesthouses and very small selection of private houses and resorts for those who had chose Krabi for wintering. For example, my home base in Krabi covers about 80% of all housing.
A common problem for homes in Krabi is the lack of a normal kitchen. it maybe either an extension to the house or an extra sink and a small plot in the house so that you can cut yourself sandwiches or warm up the food in the microwave. New, recently built houses already have a full room for the kitchen with furniture and equipment, but their price tag may be higher.
Of apartments in Ao Nang count fingers: in the center of Ao Nang, yes on Klong Muang.
You have only 2 options, how to rent a house / apartment in Thailand: through a realtor or independently on the spot. Last thing very much to the amateur. Believe, combing the streets for several days in a row in 30-degree heat, not for everyone, you can rest are driving.
I recommend to book accommodation in advance through a realtor. You avoid unnecessary trouble in an unfamiliar country. Than before refer, the better option will get. Send me a request, I have her I will send to a proven person whom I trust myself. And then in The last time scam has become a lot.

The cost of houses in Krabi
I will not take into account the very simple conditions that not acceptable to everyone. The average price of Krabi for a house with a kitchen is in the range of 15,000-200,000 baht. For a house without a kitchen will be asked to average 10-12 thousand baht. You can search for budget accommodation for less 10 thousand, but there are few such houses in Krabi, and these are options for single or carefree.
The lower price limit I met is 5,000 baht per studio room without air conditioning in the Thai apartment, long a building divided into sections, like garages in Russia. And something else It seems to have looked like a normal house, but it has 3 rooms and each rent for a single family. The upper limit that I came across in the search process – 65,000 per month, a luxury villa, the price hung on ad.
Prestigious and not very districts
Due to housing shortages in Krabi, there is no clear division into districts. more or less prestigious. It is clear that next to the gravel as a career, the houses are less attractive from the point of view of the tenant, but how Oddly enough, such a neighborhood has little effect on the cost. rent. Hotels, in most cases, put on the coast; expensive Villas are initially built away from uncomfortable objects, but from everything else has to be chosen on the basis of personal priorities. Proximity to the sea, to shops, to a good beach, away from people or from the road.
Water
Oddly enough, but the geographical location and opportunity getting water from the hefty Krabi river does not always guarantee central water supply. The mass of buildings in Krabi is equipped plastic containers and electric pumps that provide water to the house. They, and another pickup truck, which have to be called regularly. So, immediately find out from how do you get water in the house and how much does it cost it’s a pleasure.
Infrastructure
The sea is always close, if you are by car. Like any ordinary the resort, the entire infrastructure of the Krabi beaches is located in close proximity to the sea. As I said in the very first paragraph – you will not find a private house in a minute walk from the sea. All houses are further, and in conjunction with the fact that There are no hypermarkets in Ao Nang, then you will need a car (as rent a car) or a scooter for rent (rent a bike in Krabi). BUT if so – then the distance to the sea for you will always be no more than 5-10 minutes away.
In Ao Nang there is only one medium sized Tesco and he is within walking distance if you live in the village itself. In most cases, it will be enough for you, and if not, you will need drive to Krabi town in Bigcy, big Tesco or Macro. Also there is moving markets (each day of the week is different) markets, but they will not always be within walking distance.
Transport
There is such a feature of the Krabi resort – it takes a big mainland section. The distances here are decent and just walk around from home to Macro – will not work. Despite the availability of minibuses who ply the resort, if your plans to stay here on Longstey, and even with the family, it is much more convenient to rent or buy bike / car. The range of average Tesco and grocery markets will be not always enough, and if you want to get, for example, in Macro Krabi, then you will have to go 15 kilometers, and in Big C – almost 25 km
