A local's guide to Krabi, written straight
Krabi deserves a guide that tells the honest version. That's why we built Krabi Pointer.
Most online travel content is either an outdated blog post from someone who spent a long weekend there, or a booking platform so focused on the transaction it forgets to give you any useful context. Neither helps when you're planning a trip.
We aim to be the well-travelled friend who actually knows Krabi — which area to base yourself in, what's worth your time, and what to skip. Hotels are ranked by real guest scores, activities by whether they're actually good, and if somewhere isn't worth it, we say so.
How we work
We pay our own way
We book and visit anonymously. No hotel knows it's being reviewed, which is the only way to stay honest.
Affiliate, not advertising
Some links earn us a small commission when you book, at no extra cost to you. It never changes a ranking or a recommendation.
Updated, not abandoned
Prices, openings and closures change fast in Krabi. We revisit and re-date guides regularly rather than leaving stale info to mislead people.
