Hi All

I’m looking for a photographer to do couple shoot in Krabi for the dates Nov 10/11 th.

Comment or DM me if you have any recommendations, TIA!

Hello!

The wife and I are planning our first Thailand trip and want to start things off at Krabi. We shall land around 12 noon in Phuket on 18th November 2026 and reach Krabi, which I am assuming will take the entire evening up.

Have 03 full days (19th-21st November). Will then take a early morning flight from Krabi to BKK on 22nd.

What are the must do's in those days and where should we base ourselves? Preferably just one hotel (budget of around ฿ 1,500-2,000 per night).

Also, we aren't into scooter/two-wheelers.

Thanks in advance!

Is there anywhere where there are daily runs in any of these three places?

We are heading to Khao Sok at the end of October, and we are concerned about the bad weather.

We’re wondering about the condition of the roads, the jungle, the village, and—of course—our hotel (the hotel itself has tried to reassure us, but... well, that’s to be expected!).

If anyone is currently there or nearby, a quick weather update would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello. I'm planning to travel from Ao Nang, Krabi area to Khao sok especially for visiting Cheow lan lake. I plan on staying near the area or surat thani (not over the lake). Then the next day I plan to travel to Bangkok via bus or train. Kindly guide how to do this itinerary:

1. Travel from Aonang to Cheow lan lake?

2. Should I stay in Khao Sok or Surat Thani?

3. How to travel from Khao sok to Bangkok?

Nous partons pour Khao Sok fin octobre et nous sommes inquiets à cause du mauvais temps.

Nous nous interrogeons sur l'état des routes, de la jungle, du village et, bien sûr, de notre hôtel (l'hôtel a essayé de nous rassurer, mais… bon, on s'y attendait !).

Si quelqu'un est actuellement sur place ou à proximité, un petit bulletin météo serait très apprécié.

Merci !

I’m traveling solo to Krabi on December 17–20 before heading to Phuket. This is my first Thailand trip and I mostly want to chill, visit cafes, and wander around. A little socializing would be nice too.

I’m thinking of spending one day in Railay and another for Hong island tour, then just exploring Ao Nang with whatever time I have left. Does that sound reasonable for three nights?

I’m planning to do Phi Phi from Phuket instead, since I’ve seen more boat options there but I’ll probably stay in Patong or Kata, so I’m wondering if getting to the pier would be a hassle. Would you do Phi Phi from Krabi or Phuket?

Also looking for accommodation recommendations near Ao Nang beach. A private room is preferable but hostel is ok too as long as it's not too party-ish. Thanks

Hey guys! I’m going to Thailand with my girlfriend for 13 days — 8 nights in Phuket (Kata Beach) and 5 nights in Krabi (Ao Nang).
We’re trying to figure out how much money to budget per person for the whole trip. We’ll eat at local restaurants most of the time, have drinks and alcohol a few times, and do some tours and activities, including the 4 Islands Tour in Krabi. We’d also like to have 2–3 nicer dinners, maybe at restaurants by the sea, but we’re not planning to eat at expensive places every day.
How much would you recommend bringing per person for food, drinks, tours, activities and local transport for the 13 days? We want to enjoy ourselves without being too cheap, but we don’t need luxury either.
Thanks! 🙏

I am doing a lot of travel in the next three months, and unfortunately I need some new glasses. It turns out the next place I will be in for longer than a few days will be Ao Nang.

Can any locals (or others) tell me if I got tested and ordered the glasses at a optometrist in Krabi/Ao Nang on a Monday afternoon, what is the likelihood of be having the order filled and picked up by Friday midday?

Thanks heaps.

Hi…just after some help…we’re due to travel to Koh Lanta mid Nov 5 x nights…I know weather should have turned for the better but can’t gtee…Wondering if I’m better if staying in Krabi itself for more to do incase the weather isn’t good or poss safer missing Krabi al together & looking at Hua Hin?? I have no issue if tropical & if odd downpours more likely, just wanting to avoid all day rain! Thx for any input….

Hi all, I'm traveling from phi phi to Krabi from phuket on 18th November. I'm really looking for suggestions for a solo traveler to stay in Krabi for a day. Will be returning back to Phuket on 19th

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are visiting Thailand for the first time from December 10th to 23rd, and we’d love some advice.
We’re struggling to decide how to split our time between Phuket and Krabi, so we’d really appreciate your opinions on how many days to spend in each place.
We want to experience as much of Thailand as possible, see the most beautiful beaches and islands, go snorkeling, explore nature and temples, try local Thai food, and experience Thai culture.
We’re not into crazy nightlife or drunk clubbing. We’d much rather spend our evenings at nice restaurants, enjoy live music, walk around and experience the local atmosphere.
A few questions:
How would you split our time between Phuket and Krabi?
What are the absolute must-see places, beaches and islands?
Which activities and island tours are really worth it?
How much money per person should we budget for food, transport and activities, excluding flights and accommodation?
We want a good mix of beautiful beaches, adventure, local culture and relaxing evenings.
Thanks for any advice, especially from people who have visited both places! 🙏

Working to a budget but enquired at 3 different recommended hotels advertised as from $74 to $85 AUD but when I got to book the rooms the price shown is $320 to $350 per night, from my 3 night stay.
Are there really any cheap places to stay or am I being unrealistic with my budget . Thanks for any advice

Hey, I am 28M travelling from India to Thailand on the above dates. I am planning to visit Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui/Lanta. If anyone’s travelling on the same dates then I would love to connect with them. Thanks

hey guys I am looking to book a long term 10 day stay in Ao Nang. I know there as endles options online but would love to hear about some options that maybe don't make it to Agoda or maybe they do. but anyways want to hear from people who have lived in the area, where to get the most value with a long term stay.

Somehow, I’d never been to Tubkaek Beach despite visiting Krabi before. So my sister and I decided to drive around the area and check it out.

We ended up stopping at a random beach that wasn’t even the spot Google Maps had suggested.

But it was totally worth the stop because we stumbled upon a stunning sunset.

Note: Most of the area is occupied by hotels, so getting around by motorbike might be easier. You can stop along the way and walk down to the spot marked on Google Maps.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a honeymoon trip to Thailand and would love some feedback from people who have visited recently.

Trip dates:

30 Nov - 10 Dec

Current plan:

30 Nov

Arrive Phuket in the evening

Private transfer to Krabi

30 Nov - 6 Dec

Stay in Krabi (considering Ao Nang area)

Planned activities:

- Hong Island Tour

- Emerald Pool

- Hot Springs

- Railay Beach

- Tiger Cave Temple (optional)

- One private longtail boat sunset experience with picnic

- Scooter rental for local exploring

6 Dec - 10 Dec

Stay in Phuket (currently considering Kata or Karon area)

Planned activities:

- Phi Phi premium tour

- Ethical elephant sanctuary

- One fine dining evening

- One luxury/special experience (sunset cruise, private villa night, beach dinner, etc.)

- Relaxation / beach time

A few questions:

1. Does this split make sense (6 nights Krabi + 4 nights Phuket), or would you recommend a different balance?
2. Are there any activities in Krabi or Phuket that you consider absolute must-do experiences for a honeymoon?
3. We enjoy beautiful beaches, scenery, sunsets, viewpoints, nature, waterfalls and light adventure, but we're not interested in heavy partying.
4. We are considering renting a scooter in Krabi. Is this a good idea for exploring around Ao Nang and nearby areas?
5. For Phuket, would you stay in Kata, Karon, Kamala or somewhere else for a honeymoon?
6. Hotel recommendations? I am seeing there is a high price jump for these dates.

Would especially appreciate feedback from couples or honeymooners who have visited recently.

Also open to suggestions for hidden gems, romantic experiences, memorable restaurants, or things that are worth paying extra for.

Thanks!

Would you choose a hostel with a pool to save money, even if you’re worried about snoring?
I’m going to Krabi for 4 nights (Jan 19–23) and I found a hostel that’s under ₹10k for the whole stay and has a pool, which is really tempting because it would save me a lot of money.
My only concern is that I’m a snorer 😭😂 and I’m worried about disturbing other people in a dorm.
For people who’ve stayed in hostels:
How much of a problem is snoring actually?
Would you choose a hostel/dorm to save money if it had a pool?
Is a 4–6 bed dorm significantly better than a big dorm?
Should I just pay more for a private room?
Basically: cheap hostel + pool vs more expensive private room — what would you choose for a 4-night Krabi trip?

Going to be staying near Tubkaek beach, about 19km from Ao Nang. Hotel has shuttles to Ao Nang, but probably I want often to go by my own schedule, so are grab/uber etc working this far from Ao Nang?

Dont mind paying a bit extra, but would be nice if I could trust the apps providing me reliable transportation for activities.

Hi all.

I'm planning 16 nights on Koh Lanta with my wife and 9 year old son. We're in our early 50s and like to relax, gotta a few markets and do a few days trips.

Is this too long on the island? We've done 21 days on Phuket and it was fine, but found it too busy and developed.

Thanks all.

Hi,

I'm heading to Krabi end of November for a little solo trip while the husband is in Bangkok for work. While I have been there before, my last trip was about 12 years ago so I'm sure everything's changed drastically. I choose Klong Muang because I'm allergic to party strips and hippy vibes :-) I'm looking to just relax on the beach, have a swim, read a book, eat good local food and go for a quiet drink in the evening. Definately don't want to be in the back of beyond and do love meeting people but just not into the whole party/ hippy scene. Would 1 week be too long? What are the food /local restaurant options like? I ride a scooter or motorbike so am able to get around. Just not too sure if a week may be too long and how 'secluded' that area is. Any advice or tips much appreciated.

Hi guys Im 23M visiting krabi and it’s my last day, I am here with my brother but he doesn’t wanna go out and he’s sleeping in.
If anyone wants to join me to go to the temple or anywhere else please DM.

Should i avoid bcoz of rains?
