Reviews
Chen from Israel (9/10)
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything exceeded our expectations. The room was very pleasant and clean, and had everything we needed. The owner was really nice and helped us with questions and advice about the area. We had a great time and highly recommend this place.
Joanne from United Kingdom (9/10)
Cute little place in a fantastic location just metres from the beach. Bars and restaurants right outside the door, despite this it was quiet and we slept really well.
The room was comfortable and very clean.
Fantastic value for money.

Paula from United Kingdom (9/10)
A lovely friendly welcome from our host Charley set the mood for a superb stay. Location is excellent, few mins walk to the amazing beach and right on the small road into Kamala which is bursting with shops and eateries.
Merete from Norway (9/10)
Good location, clean and good service!
Julie from Australia (9/10)
Charly was very friendly and happy to help with any enquiries. Good knowledge of the local area.
The bed was very comfortable and room was well set out with everything you need. Great location with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Great value for money and would definitely recommend Papa Crab 🦀Dave from United Kingdom (9/10)
Unlike usual reviews I wanted first to convey how the owner/operator, Charley has not just built a charming boutique guest home that gives people a spotlessly clean and well thought out place to rest, but due to his ongoing work outside of the guest house, he helps the local community in an extremely positive way.
We learned that after the devastating tsunami 20 years ago, Charley came to Thailand simply to help people. And then he stayed here. And now today, all these years later he’s still here helping a nearby school for under-privileged kids and their families.
So if you stay here, you will be indirectly making a contribution to local families.
As if that wasn’t enough reason, this is a justified boutique with a 9+ rating for many good reasons.
Super clean
Very secure
Very cosy
Super quiet air con
Efficient fast wifi
Lovely bed and linens
Fridge with a water refill every day
Nice shower
FANTASTIC location
Literally a one minute walk to the beach
It’s a very pleasant and slightly quieter part of the beach – with a 5-10 minute walk to the busier area so you get the best of both worlds.
Many restaurants, massage and tailoring shops to choose from.
7/11 convenience stores either end of your street.
A great night market Monday, Thursday and Friday with food, clothing and assorted stuff to pick through.
Bolt or Grab taxis to Pa tong or old town Phuket for their legendary market.
What’s not to like 🤷♂️Tereza from Czech Republic (9/10)
PapaCrab is a perfekt place to stay at Kamala beach! The room was clean, had everything we needed including bottles of drink water which were refilled every day with a room cleaning. AC was comfy and user friendly. Good door against mosquitos. Everything is nearby, the beach is only a few minutes by walking. The only drawback was a darker room (not enough lights) and quite small bathroom, but that is nothing compared to the whole experience. Charly as a host was pefect and very kind, smiling and helpful. If you are staying at Kamala, definitely accomodate here!
Lisanne from Netherlands (8/10)
Charly and his wife made us feel very welcome! They are super kind and the location of the B&B is perfect, in the street with restaurants and massages, super close to the beach. They offer free umbrella’s for rain and sun. The room has a mini fridge which is nice.
