Hotel Overview

Koko De Rasta is located at 7 Moo 3 Noppharat Thara, Ban Khlong Haeng, 81000, just a short drive from Ao Nang’s busy shoreline and 20 minutes from Krabi International Airport. The hotel offers a range of rooms to suit every traveler, from cozy solo non-smoking units to spacious family rooms, all fitted with crisp linens, air conditioning, and en-suite private showers.

The hotel organizes regular live music and evening entertainment, offers free bicycle rental, and can arrange off-site activities like canoeing and billiards for a small extra fee. The multilingual 24-hour front desk speaks English, Thai, and German, and can arrange paid airport transfers, luggage storage, and wake-up calls for your convenience.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable spots are just a short trip from Koko De Rasta:

• Noppharat Thara Beach: Just a 10-minute bicycle ride away, this quiet, golden-sand beach is far less crowded than nearby Ao Nang. It’s the perfect spot for sunrise walks, swimming in calm shallow waters, and watching longtail boats head out to the Phi Phi Islands.
• Railay Beach: A 25-minute drive and short longtail boat ride from the hotel, Railay is world-famous for its towering limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and laid-back vibe. Great for rock climbing, sunbathing, and exploring hidden sea caves.
• Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea): A 30-minute drive inland, this iconic Buddhist temple sits atop a 1,237-step climb with sweeping panoramic views of Krabi’s limestone karsts and jungle. It’s a popular morning hike for active travelers.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to March) to secure family rooms or ground-floor units, as upper floors are only accessible via stairs. If you plan to explore the area by bicycle, pack sunscreen and a reusable water bottle, as Krabi’s tropical heat can be intense. Extra towels and linens are available for a small fee, so pack a travel towel if you prefer to avoid the extra charge. The hotel’s remote location means it’s quieter than resorts in central Ao Nang, but it’s still just a 15-minute taxi ride from Ao Nang’s restaurants and nightlife, making it the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
