[2025 Krabi Stay] Travel Guide for Pakasai Resort (Updated May)

The Pakasai Resort is a one-of-a-kind tropical getaway. The hotel site could not be more luxurious: all bungalows/chalets are located on the flank of a hill covered in rainforest in Ao Nang, just a 10-minute walk from the beach. So, while sipping your morning coffee on your balcony, don't be shocked if you see squirrels, monkeys, and tropical birds in the branches above you. No worries they are very nice and kind to guest. Be nice and kind to them to and definitely your stay will be epic as you’ve imagined. #naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

This holiday, let's sleep in a hotel Relax and feel like saving the world in #Krabi 🍃💚🏝️ In this review, I will introduce you to the CF-Hotels project, a relaxing and feeling like saving the world project that will promote to tourism operators who are friendly to the environment. There are a total of 24 hotels participating in this project. For this trip, I stayed in Krabi Province, and there were 3 hotels: PAKASAI RESORT, IBIS STYLES KRABI AONANG, and CENTARA AONANG BEACH RESORT & SPA KRABI. It is another prototype hotel that cares and has good environmental management. When we travel to other provinces, we can also be a part of preserving the environment. Just choose to use the services of a hotel that participates in CF-Hotels, and you can save the world.

There are 15 hotel buildings (either 2 or 3 storeys) in the Pakasai hotel premises; Each offers different balcony views - some face verdant gardens/forests, some face the doors/balconies/external stairs of the other rooms (not good!) and some face the restaurant. The ones with sea views are located on the highest floor (more climbing of stairs since there is not a single lift in the hotel). It's hard to tell which building number is the best and I guess you could only decide which is most suitable only when you arrive at the hotel and checkout the buildings (depends on your reserved room category too). I didn't encounter any mosquitoes or insects in the room but insect repellent is a life-saver once you are outdoors, especially when dining in the restaurant (no aircon) or relaxing at the balcony. The aircon worked very well in cooling down the large room and I didn't find it noisy. I did notice that it could be quite noisy for those staying on the ground/1st floor as all the air condensers are located at the bottom of each building (less climbing but more noise?). Overall, I find my room and the hotel premises clean and well-kept and I enjoyed the tranquility of staying in a lush garden/natural forest setting. The Hotel spa (Arokaya) looks rather nice from the outside - I didn't try their service as I find the prices more expensive than those outside the hotel. Highly recommended hotel - as you get to enjoy so much peace and greenery and yet you're just 5 minutes' walk away from the main thoroughfare.
