When thinking about your next vacation destination, consider a visit to Thailand, and experience its white-sand beaches, majestic temples, and other natural wonders. You won’t get disappointed with what Thailand has to offer, and the sheer abundance of their attractions will leave you wanting to come back for more.
Aside from the capital city Bangkok, you can explore Chiang Mai to the north and Phuket to the south. However, don’t miss out on Krabi, especially if you enjoy lush jungles and island hopping adventures. Its mangrove forests and limestone formations will leave you breathless. Krabi is a tropical paradise that is worth the visit, and you’ll surely be able to convince your friends or family members to take the trip as well.
How to get there?
Krabi is on the southwest coast of Thailand, around 800 kilometers away from Bangkok and 170 kilometers from Phuket. Traveling by air is the fastest route, and there are 20 daily flights from Bangkok to Krabi, which lasts for about 80 minutes. There are also two flights per day from Chiang Mai and one from Koh Samui daily.
If you like to experience more of Thailand’s countryside, you can take a 12-hour bus ride from Bangkok’s Southern Terminal to Krabi. There are also bus rides to Krabi from Phuket, Koh Samui, and Trang. Likewise, you can take a train from Bangkok to Surat Thani before taking a three-hour bus ride from there to Krabi.
When is the best time to visit?
November to March is the best time to visit because of the fair weather and clear sky. However, this is also the peak season, which means that more tourists flock to Krabi’s beaches. Likewise, April and May are the hottest and most humid months because it is just before the rainy season.
On the other hand, June to October is the rainy season, but Krabi rarely experiences consecutive days of heavy rainfall. Prices are low during these months, making it an appealing time to visit for budget travelers.
