Krabi, sorted in one place
Krabi planning turns into a pile of tabs. A beach that photographs well and swims poorly. A longtail fare you only learn on the sand. I put the hotel scores, the five areas and the days worth getting up for on one site.
Hotels stay in guest-score order. I do not bump a place because the link pays. If a beach is a boat harbour, the page says so.
Everything,
in one place.

Where you sleep changes the week. I would start in Ao Nang unless you already know you want the cliffs, the town, or a quiet resort beach.
The hub I would pick for a first trip: boats, food and a walkable strip, with the better beaches a short longtail away.
Explore Ao Nang → The working town up the river: cheap beds, the best night markets, the transport links, and no beach.
Explore Krabi Town →
Krabi's cliff-locked peninsula: postcard beaches, serious climbing, and no roads. Boat only, and worth the wet landing.
Explore Railay →
The quiet resort beaches north of Ao Nang: calm sea, slow days, and some of the best sunset views in Krabi.
Explore Klong Muang & Tubkaek →
The Phi Phi islands sit southwest of Krabi: dramatic cliffs and Maya Bay, with crowds to match, and a handful of places to stay on Phi Phi Don.

A short letter, once a month. New openings, what I would book this season, and the mornings worth the alarm.
