Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are within easy reach of Baan Asree:

• Railay Beach: Just a 20-minute longtail boat ride from Ao Nang, Railay’s dramatic limestone cliffs, powdery white sand, and crystal-clear turquoise waters are one of southern Thailand’s most iconic sights. It’s a world-class spot for rock climbing, casual sunbathing, and exploring hidden sea caves.
• Emerald Pool (Sra Morakot): A 45-minute drive inland in Krabi’s Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve, this natural hot spring pool is surrounded by old-growth jungle. A short, easy hike leads to the vivid green emerald waters, perfect for a refreshing swim on a hot day.
• Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea): Also within a 45-minute drive from the hotel, this sacred Buddhist temple sits atop a limestone hill. Climb the 1,237 steps for sweeping panoramic views of Krabi’s karst landscape and jungle, and visit the temple’s sacred Buddha shrines along the way.

Travel Tips

Book your airport transfer through the hotel in advance to save time navigating public transport on arrival. If you plan to explore inland attractions like the Emerald Pool and Tiger Cave Temple, rent a scooter from a local vendor near the hotel (around 200 THB per day) – just remember to carry an international driver’s license and wear a helmet. Pack reef-safe sunscreen for day trips to the islands and beaches, and bring a reusable water bottle to reduce plastic waste during your stay. For family travelers, the on-site children’s pool makes a great low-key alternative for afternoons after long day trips exploring the province.
