Town or Ao Nang for lunch?

Town for kanom jeen and khao man gai at lunch prices. Ao Nang for the night grill. Railay if you already paid the longtail.

Krabi and Andaman food guide

Krabi food is known for a town lunch clock and Ao Nang night grills. It fits Andaman evenings after Railay, not a Chiang Mai khao soi hunt.

Park daysHong Island box lunch; 300 THB park fee extra

Eat lunch in Krabi Town if you can. Kanom jeen nam ya poo at the morning market is 40 to 70 THB and gone by 13:00. Ao Nang is the night grill strip. Price seafood by weight. Railay dinners cost more because every crate crossed by longtail at 100 THB a person.

Khao soi is not a Krabi dish. If a beach menu lists it, order gaeng som instead. Hong Island boats include a box and a 300 THB park fee. For the stay map use Krabi. For Railay logistics use Railay and Phra Nang.
