“Funky Crab The River's low price point might initially draw budget travelers, but I found reports of poor customer service and uncomfortable rooms difficult to ignore. From what I've gathered, the property's downsides, including reported issues with cleanliness and unhelpful staff, overshadowed any potential savings. Ultimately, based on the issues I've read about, I'd advise spending a bit more for a better experience elsewhere in Krabi.”
