Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort
A beachfront resort on Klong Muang beach featuring expansive breakfast spreads, open-plan bathtubs, and sea views.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort sits directly on a white sandy beach in Klong Muang with contemporary Thai styling and infinity pools. Guests highlight the comfortable rooms with espresso machines, deep bathtubs, and extensive breakfast buffets at Mangosteen restaurant. However, on-site food and drinks are pricier than local alternatives, and service during busy dining hours can feel like controlled chaos. 611211
