Best hotel/resort in Krabi?

Would love to really feel Thailand culture/nature rather than just a pretty resort with tourists.

We love catamarans and activities, so it’s a plus if the resorts includes such activities.

How do we visit Monkey Island from Krabi?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses recommendations for hotels and resorts in Krabi that emphasize cultural immersion and nature over touristy experiences. Suggestions include Koh Jum Villas, Aonang Lodge, and Railay Beach. However, there's a general sentiment that many resorts may not provide an authentic Thai cultural experience. Additionally, the dialogue touches on visiting Monkey Island, with some commenters expressing that it may not offer much to see, and one recommends renting a motorcycle to explore Phang Na, which has beautiful waterfalls.

Rent a motorcycle and take a dive to Phang Na and stay for a few days. Many waterfalls close to Phang Na. Even when it is raining, the waterfalls are great for swimming.

Monkey Island is not much to see. Krabi is not even that great to visit.

None of the resorts will show you much if anything about true Thai culture. I’ve seen some of your other inquiries and have a suggestion for you. Send me a PM if interested.

I don't have much experience with Krabi as a whole, but I stayed at Koh Jum Villas and it was really nice. Not a lot of tourists as it's somewhat remote but the resort and service is very good.
