It seems like it’s all about luxury these days. Did everyone (except us) win the lottery? Mere mortals will be happy to hear that there’s a new budget solution in Krabi. A minimal white-and-raw cement building resting underneath coconut trees, Ao Nang’s only hostel has accommodation ranging from an 8-bed dorm to a double-bed room with en-suite bathroom. You don’t get the beachside location for these prices, but if you can ride a motorbike, the sand is just five minutes away. Rates are from B350 per bed.
