Expert therapists offer traditional Oriental and Thai therapies in three treatment rooms with hot and cold plunge pools, and yoga sessions on offer. The Tubkaak also has a small gym and a library with a selection of books.
Experience Although the emphasis at The Tubkaak is very much on relaxing, it is ideally located to explore its surrounding region on complimentary mountain bikes. Guests can play golf, go mountain biking, or take to snorkelling, and kayaking. Take Longtail boat tour around the islands around the Ko Kong archipelago or wander amongst butterflies and monkeys and take a dip in one of the stunning rainforest pools. Day trips can be made to the Hong Islands, or further to Phi Phi islands.
Location Tubkaak is located about 30 minutes from Krabi Airport. It is on a stretch of beach with 3-4 other hotels, yet you won't find little beach bars or local restaurants, so it is quite untouristy.
Getting there Fly 11 hours to Bangkok then a 1-hour 20-minute flight to Krabi followed by a 30-minute drive. Many guests like to break the journey in Bangkok on the way there or on the way back. For guests wanting to come from Phuket, it is about a 3-hour drive. Alternatively you could take a boat and stop on Koh Yao Noi to make a 3-centre itinerary combining Phuket, Yao Noi and Krabi.
When to go Tropical climate and the driest months to visit are December to March. November and April are also good months to visit and you may get some rain, although it is outside of the monsoon season. May to October is the monsoon with downpours occurring once or twice a day, rather than constant rain.
