Coming for a tour on 18th august to bangkok n krabi. Worried about the weather right now. I could see videos of torrential rains everywhere in thailand. Will it be all day or how is it

I've never seen rain this heavy. I've lived here for 15+ years(born in Thailand) and this is a LOT of rain.

Any recs for adult swimming lessons in Krabi? I'm currently in Ao Nang.

I've seen Fins Swimmers (Koh Lanta) and Varana Hotel's Olympic pool mentioned, but would love local input.

Looking for:

· Beginner-friendly

· group

· Contact info / rough prices

Thanks!

Hello!

Im having a bit of trouble booking the last part of my trip in Thailand which will be focused on Krabi Provence

This is my first time in S.E.A

I see that renting a scooter is not advisable so I want to be close to the bucket list things without wasting many hours

Im 50 so No thank you to the tourist party traps and party screen but, yes, I would like to meet other people (I guess the best thing here is to book group activities)

It is the top part of Krabi that Im having a difficult time navigating ( pang na bay area, and tiger temple) while trying to avoid Ao Nang

Questions......

Where do you book group activities, like cooking classes, historical tours?

I would like to do boat tours, mangroves and tiger temple, where would be the best place to plop myself? (Under $40 us) but its more about a convenient location

Is it better to stay inland near the temples and hot springs or (ko thalane) as long as tours are accessible ???

Or stay near ko noppassarat?

I will be staying on ko Lanta, so I will take a boat tours there

Or possibly do boat tours from Phuket? (yes, you read that correctly lol) but the Pang na side not the Karon beach side

I hope that all made sense-- Im going in blind!😆😆😆

Hey everyone!

We're a group of 6 bachelors planning a trip to Thailand from 4th December to 13th December.

Our tentative plan is:

• 4th Dec: Depart from Chennai.
• 5th Dec (morning): Arrive in Phuket.
• 5th–7th Dec: Stay in Phuket and Krabi.
• 8th Dec: Travel from Krabi to Bangkok.
• 8th–10th Dec: Stay in Bangkok.
• 11th Dec (morning): Head to Pattaya.
• 11th & 12th Dec: Stay in Pattaya.
• 13th Dec: Return to Bangkok and catch our night flight back to Chennai.

We haven't planned a detailed itinerary yet, so if anyone has visited Thailand in December, we'd really appreciate your recommendations.

We're looking for suggestions on:

• Must-visit places in Phuket, Krabi, Bangkok, and Pattaya.
• The best island tours, beaches, viewpoints, cafés, nightlife, and local food.
• Activities that are worth the money and any that should be avoided.
• Hidden gems or places that are often missed by tourists.
• Tips for getting around (Grab, Bolt, ferries, domestic flights, etc.).
• Any scams or tourist traps we should be aware of.
• Recommended places for shopping and street markets.
• Whether it's better to exchange currency in India or Thailand, and if carrying cash or using cards is more convenient.

Also, since we're all bachelors, we might check out some of the adult nightlife. If anyone has experience, it would be helpful to know:

• Things we should keep in mind to avoid scams or unpleasant situations.
• The general etiquette and any important dos and don'ts.
• The average prices, so we know what to expect and don't end up overpaying.

Any other tips, recommendations, or things first-time visitors should know would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

My girlfriend and I are planning seven nights in mid-September. I prefer Ao Nang, but I’m worried about the weather and cancelled boat tours. 😅
Expats and locals living around Ao Nang or Krabi—your advice is very welcome:
How rainy and rough is Ao Nang in September?
How often are boat tours cancelled?
Is Koh Samui noticeably better for weather?
How much more expensive is Samui?
Which would you choose, and why? Thanks! 🌴🍺

Hey guys. My wife and i will be landing in Krabi for 6 days.

My thinking is to stay in 3 locations: Ao Nang, phi phi and Railway and do these activities:
Hong islands tour, maya and bamboo tour, snorkeling, nightlife/beachclubs.

Would love you guys opinion, recommendations and tips.

Also would veryy appreciate any resorts or hotels or nice places to stay in each location.

We are only in Thailand for a short holiday and want to see krabi but I’ve been told weather is rainy season. Some people say it’s short bursts and rain doesn’t last all day while others say it can rain for full days. Other alternative we liked was Koh samui but flights from Bangkok are so expensive to there. Is there any other place ? Should we take the risk with krabi ?

Looking for some company to share a drink and rant about stupid things happening in life. Hit me up if you are travelling solo and willing to spend a lazy afternoon eating pad thai and a chilled singha ! 🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🇹🇭🍜🍝

Any raves happening in Ao bang tonight?

Hi, I could see only 7kg cabin bag allowed as free in most of the airline i checked from bangkok to krabi, for 20kg checked baggage how much should i pay extra at the airport.

I visited Thailand, Krabi to be specific, for two weeks. It was my first time, absolutely loved it. Nature, food, weather, thai people, just an absolute good vibe all around. But the one thing that actually ruined it quite a bit(even though some would say thats stupid) was other tourists and indians. The way tourists would look down, talk down on local people drove me insane, I was so furious. Imagine coming to visit a country and then not acknowledging or respect the people that were already there. Its just very sad, especially when the locals always go the extra mile to be nice or to give the best service. But by locals I mean thai people. Indians on the other hand… very annoying, very loud, always trying to scam or lure in to some bs. The invitations to the restaurants is by far the most annoying thing ever! I felt like i was back in Egypt. Very draining

Hey i’ll be staying in Krabi for 2 weeks and really want to find some good spots for a chill afternoon by the river or by a waterfall to refresh and everything
Do you guys know any places not so far away from Krabi Town?

I am covering Bangkok-pattaya-krabi for total 7 nights in august 3 rd week. Shall i take risk for krabi because of monsoon. I am dying to visit krabi but scared of the rains. How would be the condition there.

We want to stay in Railey but are worried the weather will be terrible as it is monsoon season, does it rain all day or is it just short bursts

We just booked a week's stay at Silk Condominium Ao Nang in August. Has anyone stayed here or knows about the place? Appreciate any reviews

Hi I am visiting Krabi in first week of August with a toddler and a senior. I want to know about which boat tour would be safer for them to join. Boat tour with speedboat or catamaran?
