       We We  just got back from Krabi.

View our Krabi photos here and here

What will you get from a 3 day 2 nights trip to Krabi?

-chance to ride a boat and experience the huge sea waves(exciting and scary ride)

-chance to see a lot of natural rock formations and maybe do rock climbing if you are still young to do so(not me)

-chance to island hop in just one day and see some of the most beautiful islands in Thailand

How much budget do you need to take a 3 day trip?

-2 airlines fly direct from Bangkok(One to Go and ThaiAirways) and 2 direct from outside(Tiger from Singapore and Air Asia from Kuala Lumpur) The cheapest ticket(Tiger) costs less than S$100 per person(All inclusive)

-3 star accomodations in Aonang hotels range from S$30-$80. My best tip for you is to stay at Tipa Resort.

-Food is cheap, you can buy barbeque at any outside stall at BHT20 each or eat all you can restaurants at BHT250/person

-Trips to the islands would costs from BHT100 to as much as BHT6000(renting one speedboat)

-Airport tax out of Krabi is BHT400/person

for a party of four inclusive of shopping, the budget would be around S$1000(the cheapest)

Where to Stay?

Aonang beach is reachable by land and is 30 minutes from Krabi airport, Phi Phi and Railey Beach can only be reached by long tail or speed boats. Aonang has a lot of 3 star hotels at every nook and cranny of the stretch of Aonang Beach. Choose a hotel that is not located near a club since it would be hard to sleep at night with all the music and karaoke singing going on.

Tipa resort (where we stayed) is like a mountain resort with cottages near the hills and is surrounded by trees and thick foliage.

What to bring?

  Lots of sunscreen,sunglasses, shorts, t shirts, camera, slippers, rubber shoes, insect repellant(specially for bees),beach wear, hat, snorkelling or diving equipment,cash(most restaurants dont accept credit cards).
