# Property in Klong Muang, Krabi Source: https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/krabi/klong-muang Updated: 2026-11-14 Publisher: Thailand Property Investor (Omnia Capital Group) Klong Muang and Tubkaek are the quiet beaches north-west of Ao Nang, lined with resort hotels and backed by hills where villa estates are going up. SOLYNA Residence launched there in June 2026 with 16 villas and a project value above THB 1 billion. It suits buyers who want privacy and a sea view and accept a drive for dinner. The airport is about 40 minutes away. ## Key facts - Airport: about 40 minutes to Krabi International (KBV) - Coast: Andaman coast - Coordinates (longitude, latitude): 98.753, 8.08 - Best for: Privacy and quiet beaches; Hillside villas with sunset views; Wellness-led second homes; Buyers who already know Krabi Klong Muang and Tubkaek are the quiet end of Krabi's coast: two beaches north-west of Ao Nang given over to resort hotels, with villa estates on the hills behind. Prices are set project by project. The newest scheme, SOLYNA Residence, launched in June 2026 with 16 hillside villas and a project value above THB 1 billion. The area suits a buyer who puts privacy and a view first and will drive for most things. ## What it is like to live there Krabi rural road 4024 runs the length of this coast, and the main resorts all sit on it. Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort and Nakamanda are on Klong Muang Beach, and the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra and its golf course are just to the north. Further on, at Tubkaek, are Banyan Tree Krabi, Amari Vogue and The Tubkaak. The beaches face west, so hillside villas look out over the Andaman sunset. There is no town, so dinner out usually means [Ao Nang](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/krabi/ao-nang), 15 to 20 minutes away by taxi, and the main hospitals are in Krabi Town beyond it. See [healthcare](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/living/healthcare). The season is the same as the rest of the province: about 32 mm of rain in January and 43 mm in February, against 324 mm in October. ## The property on offer and what it costs Stock is limited: pool villas on the slopes above the beaches, sold a few at a time. SOLYNA Residence, by SOLYNA Residence Co., Ltd., soft-launched 8 of its 16 villas, with construction overseen by Stonehenge Inter Public Company Limited. Ask the developer for unit prices, sizes and tenure in writing. For a reference point, villas around Ao Nang were offered in November 2026 at about THB 44,600 to 76,800 per sqm of built area. A sea view is what you pay for at Klong Muang, so compare each price per sqm of built area against that range, and ask what is planned on the plots below yours. A foreigner cannot own the land. The lawful route is a registered lease of up to 30 years with the villa owned separately, sometimes alongside a right of [superficies](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/glossary/superficies). Read [buying a villa in Thailand](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/buying-a-villa-in-thailand) and [Thai company ownership risks](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/thai-company-ownership-risks). ## Who buys and why Buyers here tend to know Krabi already and want space and quiet more than convenience: couples on long winter stays, and families who want a pool and a beach without the Ao Nang crowds. Newer schemes such as SOLYNA are sold on wellness as much as on the beach. The [visa pathfinder](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/tools/visa-pathfinder) shows the ways to stay for a season or longer. ## Rental demand Krabi's six million or so annual visitors come mostly between November and April. A villa here lets to families and groups who want privacy, but it competes directly with the pool villas of the resorts on the same sand. Nightly letting needs a [hotel licence](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/glossary/hotel-licence). SOLYNA offers 24-hour property management and rental services. With any such offer, ask who holds the licence and how income is shared, and read [hotel-managed and rental pool schemes](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/hotel-managed-and-rental-pool-schemes) and [short-term rental rules](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/short-term-rental-rules). ## Getting there and around Krabi International (KBV) is about 40 minutes away by car. Resorts arrange transfers, but living here you will need a car of your own. See [flights and getting around](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/living/flights-and-getting-around). ## What to watch for Hillside building is the first check. Ask for the building permit, the as-built drawings and the engineer's report on slopes, drainage and the access road, and confirm the land title with a lawyer: see [title deeds and due diligence](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/guides/title-deeds-and-due-diligence). The second is the exit. A large villa on a lease that shortens each year, on a quiet beach with few comparable sales, is a narrow market. Buy for your own use first, and compare the wider [Krabi](https://www.thailandpropertyinvestor.com/areas/krabi) market before you commit. ## What to weigh - There is no town. Restaurants and shops are in Ao Nang, 15 to 20 minutes away by taxi, and the main hospitals are in Krabi Town beyond it. - Much of the new stock is on hillsides. Ask for the building permit, the as-built drawings and the engineer's report on slopes, drainage and access roads. - Villas are held on leases of up to 30 years, and renewal terms are contractual only. Do not buy through a Thai company with nominee shareholders. - The buyer pool for a large villa on a remote beach is small, so a resale can take a long time. - October averages about 324 mm of rain, and holiday demand falls away from May to October. ## Questions ### Where are Klong Muang and Tubkaek?
