We travelled around Thailand for two and a half weeks before coming to Papa Crab. It was a beautifully decorated guesthouse and it's clear the owners take great pride in the quality of the guesthouse to maintain its deserved reputation. On the first morning of our stay Charlie even walked us to a nearby bakery and restaurant to show us... More

PapaCrab is wonderfully simple. It's clean, affordable and a two minute walk from Kamala beach. If you're looking for a quiet place to wash off the sand and sleep away some sunburn, this is it. Highly recommended!

We have been at Papa Crab for the second year in a row and will definitely come again. Charly and Koong have again created us an extraordinary experience for our vacation. Papa Crab is really ideal for individual travellers, who want to enjoy full independence in their holidays. No disturbing pool or guests, no being tied to buffet times -... More

Just a 2 min walk to the 'quiet' (compared with nearby Patong) beach of Kamala, where numerous cheap eats, bars and shopping can be found with a laid back vibe, and what seemed like around 80-90% middle aged Scandinavian tourists- we felt a little out of place as four 30-something Aussies/ Kiwi. The rooms at PapaCrab are simple yet still... More

I must admit we have a mix feeling concerning our 3 nights stay in Papacrab...especially as we had read so many good comments on TripAdvisor. Positive points : well located, very close to the beach, nice lobby and reasonnable price. Now on the not so good points: - We had smells coming out from the shower and toilets which we... More

From the minute we arrived Charky, Koong & the cats were waiting for us after a long drive from Khao Lak. This intimate classy boutique guesthouse is well spec'd, has a great relaxing lobby with fish pond, close to beach, quiet, but the best aspect is the hosts who live on site and always there to help you and never...

Second visit to Papa Crab, Charly and Koong are so helpful and in general just the nicest, kindest people you could hope to meet on your travels. Charly organised our airport pickup which was waiting for us at arrivals...A welcome site after a 24 hour journey. When we arrived we were quickly checked in and shown to our room which... More

We found Papa Crab when we where walking along Kamala beach looking for some where to stay. Papa Crab is a quite new builded little boutique guesthouse witch small clean European standard rooms. The guesthouse and especially the lobby have a very arty and cool concrete design which I personally liked a lot. It's hard to find anything to complain... More

We stayed at PapaCrab for three nights and we really liked our stay. The rooms are clean and modern while still keeping a Thai vibe. Charly & Koong are great, friendly hosts that will really try to help you if you need anything. We don't have any negative thing to say about this place. You can't go wrong.
