For Trisara , do check with Anthony Lark.
At Amanpuri , if you are an Amanjunkie , book the lowest / garden pavilion & ( likely ) get upgraded
Then a step down? - there's The Surin next to Amanpuri - sharing the lovely beach.
They work ' closely ' together as Antonio S, the GM, was from Amanpuri .. As was Anthony - the pioneer.
Worthwhile to check it out .
( Can 't really comment on others, perhaps if you like ' crowds ', the JW Marriott has a range of decent restaurants, spa and pools to choose from.)
So it the order of stay can be Surin , Amanpuri then Trisara .
Another option is perhaps the RC at Krabi - closer to Aman standard.
