About Nuea Khlong
Where to stay in Nuea Khlong
Nuea Khlong Town. The district centre has the main market, shops and transport links, with simple guesthouses and small hotels convenient for the airport and Krabi Town.
Tha Len. A small fishing and boat pier area on the coast, used for boats to Koh Jum; a handful of guesthouses here serve travellers catching early ferries.
Koh Jum (Koh Pu). The offshore island in the district has sandy beaches on its eastern side and a quiet, rural interior; most of the area's beach resorts are here.
Krabi Hot Springs area (Khlong Thom side). Inland from Nuea Khlong towards Khlong Thom, the natural hot springs and jungle surroundings have a few resort-style stays, including hot spring resorts.
Getting there and around
Nuea Khlong is about 15 kilometres north of Krabi Town and roughly 10 kilometres from Krabi International Airport, both connected by road. From Bangkok, the usual options are a direct flight to Krabi or a bus and train combination to Surat Thani or Krabi. Within the district, songthaews and local buses run between Nuea Khlong, Krabi Town and the airport; longtail boats and ferries leave from Tha Len and Laem Kruat for Koh Jum. Having your own transport or arranging a taxi makes exploring the more scattered sights easier.
When to go
The dry season from November to April brings calmer seas and clearer skies, which suits boat trips to Koh Jum and the islands. May to October is the southwest monsoon, with more rain and rougher water, though the area remains green and many visitors still travel. The hottest months are typically March and April. Local festivals such as the Krabi Vegetarian Festival in October follow the Chinese lunar calendar and vary by year.
