The Tubkaak The stylish Tubkaak resort is located in the south west of Thailand on the beautiful Andaman coast. It is on the mainland, 40 minutes drive from Krabi (the town, it's still in the large Krabi province) in a secluded spot within a national park. The beach is one of the most beautiful in the area, with soft sand and has stunning views of Ko Hong, an archipelago of limestone islands. Although the resort may seem big compared to the accommodation you would have been staying in during your Tell Tale trip, it has fewer than 50 rooms which is very small in comparison to the general resorts in Thailand. The restaurant is by the beach and has a variety of Thai and western food. It is also possible to walk to restaurants in the few nearby resorts, however, if you're looking for nightlife, this is not the place to find it! You can easily take a taxi to Krabi or the livelier Ao Nang which are about 40 minutes away, but if you do, be aware of a culture shock after having been spoilt at the Tubkaak. Most of the rooms are set around the sparkling blue pool, are all over 40 sqm and have outdoor space. The grounds are beautiful, with a lot of grass and water features. Rest assured you will receive extra-special Tell Tale service.. Tell Tale tip The tub is pronounced as in bathtub, the other way would sound like the Thai word for hitting someone! Krabi Home Resort Also on Tubkaak Beach, the Krabi Home Resort is perfect for those seeking unspoilt beauty and a laidback atmosphere. This comfortable spot is ideally situated on a small stretch of beach with a private feel and offers a more affordable option close to sister hotel, The Tubkaak. There are only 13 chalets maintained by a team of friendly staff and each one has a stunning view of the coastline. There's no pool here but with arguably the most tranquil spot on the beach, you'll spend your days blissfully relaxing on the soft sand. Enjoy an open-air Thai massage or a dip in the calm waters, and end each day with a picture-perfect sunset. Delicious home-style food is available at Mamas Kitchen for lunch and dinner. Note: Breakfasts are included during your stay a 5-minute walk away at more upmarket hotel The Tubkaak (the sister resort).
