The long-standing Dusit Thani Krabi (ow.ly/UsMqq) sits between crystal-white sand, beautiful rocky beaches and lush mountains on the almost-untouched Klong Muang Beach, just 15 minutes from bustling Ao Nang, 

Through Dec 24, the resort is offering special high-season rates where the prices of deluxe rooms drop to B4,999 (from B5,764), inclusive of daily breakfast for two.

While the beach offers almost no nightlife, very few standalone dining options and super quiet streets, you can enjoy a couple rounds of golf at the nearby course, go snorkeling in the tranquil ocean or stick to basking by one of the resort's beach-facing pools.

The resort is also close to many of the province's picturesque cliff formations, caves and waterfalls.
