Krabi exclusive : 7 Islands Sunset Tour and Night Snorkeling with Bioluminescent Plankton.

TOP TOUR in Krabi Area

7 ISLANDS SUNSET TOUR

7 Islands Sunset Tour by Longtail Boat is the best choice to combine a Boat day between the islands and Krabi Sunset, one of the most evocative of Thailand. This Amazing tour Departure in the afternoon around 13.00 pm and return in the evening around 20.00 pm, the program includes the Visit the 7 islands Area front Ao Nang :

Poda Island, Chicken Island, Tup Island, Door, Talu, MaeUrai.

I can honestly say that this afternoon tour was a nice surprise for me. The 7 islands Tour in the afternoon begin to evacuate from most tourists, this means that you can enjoy the islands in full, during the tour you can do snorkelling on coral reefs and sandbanks and Climbing / Jumping into the sea from cliffs. But later on this tour it takes shape, at 18 pm in fact the stop is required to Phranang Beach for dinner, an inviting BBQ fish and chicken and fresh fruit to finish, all this while you stay and enjoy one of the most beautiful Sunsets in Thailand . After dinner there will be the Night Snorkeling with Bio Luminescent Phenomen .

Krabi Sunset Tour will show you the Three main islands front Ao Nang. Poda Island is amazing, you will have time for enjoy the long white sand beach or snorkelling around the Reef, we suggest you to walk until the end of beach and take the rest in wild side without many tourists and boats. Tup Island is a MUST in Krabi, the two small islands are very nice and if there is low tide you can walk from Tup Island to Chicken Island. Take your time for snorkeling but check Tide and Rangers Flag.

Chicken Island is a Snorkeling step, but before the Captain will bring you to the right side for take some nice photos of the Island. After Photos it's time for snorkelling, there are 2-3 very nice place around this Island but time only for one step snorkeling here. The tour continues with the visit to the other small islands behind Chicken Island, where you will have time to take a snorkelling stage again. We note that these islets are in the high seas and only if the sea conditions are perfect will the stop be provided.

PODA ISLAND

Poda Island is easily visible from Ao Nang Beach and is poupolar in Krabi because is just 15 min by Longtail boat, Poda is the Rangers Park Base and is equipped with Bar and Toiletts. Poda Beach is a big white sand beach where you will Relax and Swimming in a Cristal Water. Walking on the left flank of the island you will arrive in the wild island side definitely more quiet and away from the front area where tourists stop to take pictures in front of the big limestone which makes the fascinating surrounding landscape. Behind the island, accessible only by boat, is the "Deep Solo", a cliff overlooking the sea where you can (for the most irresponsible) climb and then jump into the sea.

CHICKEN ISLAND

Chicken Island is the big one of the National Park Marine and is named for the big Limestone Rock that looks like a Chicken Face. This Island is a good place for Snorkelling infact behind there is a small Bay where the Tour will stop you for enjoy the Marine Life.

Tup Island is an Amazing place where you can Snorkelling near the reaf and see the fantastic wild life marine around this small island. When the Tide recedes you will see gradually appear a white sand line that will allow you to walk from Tup Isand to Chicken Island.

PHRANANG BEACH

Last and most important stage of the 7 Islands Tour is the Night Snorkeling with Bioluminescent Plankton , one of the natural wonders that only Krabi offers in Thailand. When the sunset disappears behind the horizon and the darkness of the night takes its place you can enjoy this amazing phenomenon, take a mask and don't be afraid of the dark or of cold, I guarantee you it's worth it, billions of microscopic organisms illuminate moving water and you can see them just by snorkeling in the sea. I must say that after many times that swimming with plankton amuses me and surprise me again as if for the first time. 7 Islands Sunset tour is a "Must" in Krabi, so don't forget, this MUST TO DO IT.

The 7-Island Tour in Ao Nang, Krabi – What to Expect

Our honest opinion about the 7-island tour from ao nang, krabi.

Sara Santos | March 28, 2024 February 22, 2024

One of the most popular tours from Ao Nang, Krabi, is the 7-island tour, also called the 4-island tour depending on the tour provider. In this article, we’ll share what this tour is like, what to expect, and our honest opinion, so that you can decide if it’s worth going or not.

Related article: Ao Nang Travel Guide for First Timers (Krabi, Thailand)

What is the 7-island tour in ao nang, speed boat or long tail boat, morning tour or sunset tour, the 7-island tour (krabi) – what to expect, the 7-island tour (krabi) – is it worth it, other thailand travel guides.

The 7-island or 4-island tour is one of the most popular tours from Ao Nang, Krabi. This tour includes visiting a nearby group of islands in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Krabi province. Usually, it includes the following places, but might vary slightly depending on the operator:

Tup Island (Koh Tup) : connected by a sandbar to nearby islands that you can see during low tide;
Poda Island (Koh Poda) : known for its white sand beach with crystal clear blue water;
Chicken island (Koh Gai) : known for its unique rock formation resembling a chicken’s head;
Railay beach : beautiful beach with beautiful limestone cliffs landscape;
Phra Nang Cave : sacred cave associated with fertility.

If you like to have everything planned and figured out or if you have limited time in Thailand, you can book your trips in advance using apps like GetYourGuide , for example. Please note that many packages don’t include the National Park fees.

Alternatively, we recommend buying the tour from local tour operators. You’ll usually get better prices if you’re wiling to negotiate. We got our tour for 1100 baht per person, with the National Park fees included for the sunset tour.

Most tours will have the option of either going by long-tail boat or speedboat. The long-tail boats are the traditional wooden Thai boats. While these are great for pictures, they are very noisy and slow, but usually cheaper than taking a speedboat. The speedboat is usually more comfortable and faster, but bumpier than the long-tail boats. These are also more expensive than the long-tail boat option.

We did this tour by long-tail boat, which was a bit uncomfortable since we spent a considerable amount of time on the boat. If you’re willing to pay a bit more for a speedboat, you’ll have a more comfortable journey.

You can choose to do this tour in the morning or in the afternoon with a sunset option. We chose the sunset tour because it included seeing and swimming with the bioluminescent plankton at night. And we did see it! So, if that’s on your bucket list, choose the sunset tour (make sure it includes seeing the bioluminescent plankton).

We’ll describe what our tour looked like. Most tours with a similar name will follow a similar itinerary, even though it may change slightly depending on the tour provider and weather conditions.

Most tours offer pickup from the hotel, so you don’t have to worry about transportation to the starting point. In our case, from the pickup-up time to the start of the tour, it took approximately one hour.

If your tour has a stop for snorkeling, they’ll usually provide snorkeling gear: mask and tube.

Koh Tup and Koh Thap

The first stop of the tour was on Tup Island. This is a very small island with crystal-clear blue water. When the tide is low, it reveals a sandbar that connects the island to the nearby Koh Thap Island. This sandbar that divides the sea is called Thale Waek . If you’re lucky enough to experience a super low tide, these two islands will connect by a larger sandbar to the nearby Chicken Island.

The water on this island is very shallow, so it’s not a great place to swim. But, it’s nice to dip your feet in the water.

Tip: make sure to bring water shoes or sandals that you can use on the water, otherwise you may cut your feet on the shells and corals.

Due to the small size of the island and the many boats stopping there at the same time, this was the place on the tour where it felt most crowded.

Chicken Island

The next stop was next to the Chicken island. This island has this name because it has a rock that resembles a chicken head.

The boat stopped next to the island for some snorkeling. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was not very interesting as the corals were mostly dead, and there wasn’t much variety of fish. So, don’t expect much from the snorkeling here.

Tip: if you’re looking for great snorkeling trips, we recommend the trips from Koh Lanta or Koh Lipe. We had the time of our lives snorkeling there ( read about our snorkeling tour in Koh Lanta here ).

Related article: Koh Lanta Travel Guide: 3-Day Itinerary and 10 Best Things to Do

The next island was Koh Poda. I really liked this island. It was my favorite place on the whole tour. Here, you can enjoy a beautiful beach with white sand and crystal-clear blue water.

There’s also a beautiful view from this island of the nearby limestone rocks and cliffs. Unfortunately, our time there was very rushed.

Tip : instead of doing this tour, you might consider catching a boat from Ao Nang to Koh Poda and spend an afternoon or morning there. For more things to do in Ao Nang, Krabi, make sure to take a look at our guide: Ao Nang Travel Guide for First Timers (Krabi, Thailand) .

Sunset at the Railay Beach

Finally, we stopped at Railay Beach to watch the sunset and have dinner. Unfortunately, we arrived a little late for the sunset, but it was worth it just for the landscape.

This beach is really beautiful, with interesting caves and rock formations with stalactites. Due to the shape of its rock formations, this is quite a popular place for rock climbing.

Phra Nang Cave

Next to Railay Beach is the famous Phra Nang Cave, also known as the Princess Cave. Inside, you’ll find wooden carvings shaped like phalluses. Local people visit this sacred place to ask for help with fertility problems or seek blessings for fertility and safe childbirth.

Dinner Next to the Railay Beach

Our dinner at a nearby restaurant (a 10-minute walk from Railay Beach) was buffet-style and included a variety of dishes. The food was not the best, but it was actually pretty good considering it was buffet-style. Don’t eat too much because you’ll be snorkeling again right after dinner to see the bioluminescent plankton.

Watching the Bioluminescent Plankton in Krabi

Finally, after dinner, the boat stopped at the “middle” of the sea in an area with less light pollution so that we could see the bioluminescence.

You have to go snorkeling to see the bioluminescence. Just splash the water with your hands and feet, and you’ll start seeing it shining like stars in the sky—it’s not bright blue like you see in some photoshopped pictures, but it’s quite a magical and unique experience.

For those not brave enough to go snorkeling in the dark, our guides threw some buckets of water inside the boat so you can also see the bioluminescence without going into the water. Unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of the plankton because you can’t catch its light on camera.

Overall, I would say yes, but it depends on what you’re expecting. For example, here are some things to take into account before going on the 7-island tour:

Because this is one of the most popular tours, most places of interest will be inevitably crowded.
Even though it’s called the 7-island tour, we only stopped at two islands and at the Railay beach. The other islands, you only see from afar and sometimes are not even mentioned by the tour guides.
The English of most tour guides is very limited. They know some basic sentences, but if you want to ask something more specific, usually they are not able to answer it.
The snorkeling included in the trip was not the best. We did much better snorkeling on tours in Koh Lipe and Koh Lanta .

But, there are also great positive points about going on this tour. First of all, it’s quite an affordable tour and it includes water, snacks, and lunch or dinner.

If you have limited time in Krabi, this is a great way to explore several places in just half a day. However, if you have a little bit more time, I think it’s better to focus on just one island, for example, Koh Poda. You can easily arrange transportation from Ao Nang Beach to Koh Poda or to Railay Beach.

Seeing the bioluminescent plankton was a great experience and is on many people’s bucket lists. We also saw bioluminescent plankton on another tour we did on the Phi Phi Islands .

Finally, a great alternative to the 7-island tour is the Hong Islands Tour. We didn’t do that tour, but I’ve heard very good feedback about it, and many mention that it’s usually not so crowded.

7 Islands Sunset Tour Krabi - Best Island-Hopping Tour!?

Get Your Free "Ultimate Travel Bucket List" eBook!

It’s my first ever e-book, and I want to share it with you!

Everyone hates spammy emails, so do I. Rest assured, I will never spam your inbox!

Surrounded by towering limestone islands floating on the crystal clear water, there are no better places in Thailand to enjoy an island-hopping tour. If you’re planning a trip to Krabi, you’re in the right place! In this article, we’ll have a look at how the 7 Islands Sunset Tour is like, how you can book the tour, what to bring, and of course, how much it costs.

Standing on the top of all island-hopping tours in Krabi would be the Krabi 4 Islands Tour, which is currently operated by countless operators. The Krabi 7 Islands Tour might not sound familiar to you, but I assure you that the experience is very similar at the same price range – if not better!

Before we get started, let me give you a quick picture. For this tour, you’ll be traveling in a longtail boat and enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling (and night snorkeling to see the bioluminescent plankton!), walking between islands through the shallow waters, stunning sunset view over the horizon and most exciting of all – buffet dinner!

Excited yet? Let’s dive in and check out the details of this 7 Islands sunset tour in Krabi!

3 Chicken Island
4 Poda Island and Ma Tang Ming Island
5 Si Island & Railay Beach with Phra Nang Cave

7 Fire Show at Ao Nam Mao Pier

Krabi 7 Islands Tour Price?

To be honest, when it comes to pricing, Thailand really had me all confusing. Why?

On our first day in Krabi, our hostel manager in Baan To Guesthouse handed us several brochures. This tour particularly caught our attention and the written price was 1,500 Baht. We asked the manager for more details, and she said she could make it 900 Baht if we booked with her.

Like, 40% discount, seriously?

In the end, we booked our 7 Islands Tour for 900 Baht per person .

My advice is to first consult with your hostel or hotel manager and see if they could offer a better price. If so, why not book with them? Saves you the trouble because the tuk-tuk picks you up right at the doorstep.

My take is that the price might differ depending on the seasons though. I visited in January which is not so much of a peak season.

Note that you still have to pay 10 Baht for the pier fee , which is pretty ridiculous. But it’s 10 Baht so nevermind.

So, in total, I spent 910 Baht for the 7 Islands Sunset Tour.

Tup Island and Thap Island

The pickup service will drop you right at the pier area, where you’ll be directed to collect your snorkeling masks and register your names. Pier fee of 10 Baht will be collected upon entering the pier. After that, just wait until your group is called to board the longtail boat.

The process is pretty straightforward so I think there’s no point explaining too much, let’s jump into the main points.

The first island, well, islands to be exact are Tup Island (or Koh Tup) and Thap Island (or Koh Thap). It takes around 30 minutes to get here from Krabi Ao Nam Mao Pier.

Now, some articles will say they are the same islands, but no. Both of these islands are connected by the sandy beach covered by a shallow layer of seawater.

That means you’ll be able to stroll back and forth these 2 islands like a boss, sounds pretty cool, right?

So, what the main activities in these two islands? Well, we were given around 45 minutes to simply walking around and explore.

The seawater in the surrounding is crystal clear, and there were plenty of fishes there. You could bring your snorkeling mask, dive in, and try talking to the fishes. In short, there are no specific activities here other than free time.

Chicken Island

It’s time for some snorkeling!

If it’s your first time snorkeling, you might want to check out some video tutorials in YouTube to get an idea first. If not, you might end up like an awkward fish that forgot how to breathe.

Trust me, I was that fish.

Snorkeling seems so easy at first that I didn’t bother to try learning it. In my first attempt, I choked on some seawater and the taste remained in my mouth for hours. The video below shows you how to get started.

The sea around Chicken Island is around 3 to 4 meters deep. The operator told us that we were supposed to snorkel somewhere else but the sea condition there wasn’t so pleasant. Or something like that, she was talking when the boat engine beside me is running on full power.

Anyway, don’t expect too much coral reef there, as tourism always kills the sensitive coral reefs. And one thing, use coral-safe sunscreens, please.

At Chicken Island, you’ll be given around 30 minutes to snorkel around the massive limestone hill. There were no beaches around that you can land on, so you either get on the boat or you go swimming with the fishes.

Oh ya, there weren’t many fishes here when I dove until the operator took out some fish-bait-thing and the fishes swarmed in like zombies. I’m not that supportive when it comes to wildlife tourism, but I’m ok with it if it’s just for a brief while.

I didn’t even know why it’s called Chicken Island. It looks more like Lapras Island. (Only Pokemon fans can relate)

Approaching Chicken Island on Longtail Boat

Poda Island and Ma Tang Ming Island

Next stop, Poda Island. This island is the perfect spot to chill and relax after the struggling snorkel. We were given an hour in this island to do whatever we like – free time.

Ma Tang Ming Island, located at the opposite of Poda Island is a perfect subject for photography. Unfortunately, there were no beaches on that island so all we could do was admire its beauty from a distance.

Speak of Poda Island, this island is HUGE. The long stretch of white sandy beach is great for simply picnicking and sunbathing. While you’re there, why not dip yourself into the sea and enjoy the crystal clear water?

There are plenty of coconut trees as well to keep the benches shady – you’ll definitely feel sleepy after all the snorkeling and swimming.

Anyway, one hour passed really quickly and we had to move on to the next destination.

Ko Ma Tang Ming in 7 Islands Sunset Tour Krabi

Located not so far away from Krabi lies Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Thailand. Check it out here !

Si Island & Railay Beach with Phra Nang Cave

While Si Island is advertised as one of the 7 islands in the tour, like Ko Ma Tang Ming, we did not set foot onto this island. There was no beach there, and it’s really close to Railay Beach on the Krabi mainland.

The longtail boat parked at the beach of this last destination of the 7 Island Sunset Tour and visitors got to enjoy the perfect sunset view over the horizon accompanied by the enormous Si Island.

The moment you hopped off the boat, the first thing you want to do is pay a quick visit to Phra Nang Cave – probably the most famous cave in Krabi.

This hundred-meter-tall cave is magnificent by itself, due to the erosion of the limestone hill, which contributed to the unique pattern of the cave structure. The giant stalactites hanging over the cave ceiling will surely make you wonder if they’ll drop at any moment. Don’t even imagine it!

After the sunset, before the sunset glow disappears, make sure you bring yourself to the booth of your travel operator to claim your buffet dinner! Enjoying your dinner while admiring the beauty of the purple sky, what’s a better way to end the day?

Phra Nang Cave in Railay Beach in Krabi Mainland

The Unknown Island

The tour is not over after the dinner just yet! After dinner, hop on back to your longtail boat and you’ll be brought to an unknown island. The island’s name wasn’t mentioned in any of the brochures so I wasn’t sure about the name.

Several longtail boats came together and turned off the light. In 5 minutes, your eyes start to adapt to the darkness and become more sensitive to light. And you guessed it, it’s night snorkeling time!

Night snorkeling might sound a little creepy for some, so make sure you wear the safety jackets if you’re not confident about the safety! Your operator will teach you how to see the bioluminescent plankton.

It’s simple, once you’re in the water, simply flap your hand, or make any motions with your hands. The planktons will let out lights when there is movement around them. Some sort of chemical reactions, according to the operator.

If you don’t feel like snorkeling again, the operator will contain the seawater into a plastic bottle and shake them on the boat, making them shine bright like diamonds. But the experience is very different compared to seeing them yourself in the waters.

Oh ya, the luminescence only lasts for around 0.5 seconds when there are movements. Pretty difficult to take photos, I’d say.

With your wet clothes, it’s time to head back to the pier and end the tour!

Fire Show at Ao Nam Mao Pier

I’m not sure if this applies to all tour operators, but our tour operator, The Lucky Krabi Travel had this fire show thing in their itinerary.

After returning the snorkeling masks, we got to enjoy a 10-minutes fire show before we hopped on our tuk-tuk and dropped off at our hostel. The fire show was conducted by a family of 3 generations, with the youngest being… I think he’s younger than 10 years old.

Anyway, the fire show was pretty impressive. There were some pretty dangerous tricks, but there was no fire breathing trick. Yep, I know it’s very dangerous to the performer, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes to this day, so…

Excited for this 7 Islands Sunset Tour in Krabi?

So that’s it for the Krabi 7 Islands Sunset Tour. What do you think of it? I highly recommend you to try this or at least the 4 Islands tour. A trip to Krabi without an island-hopping tour is not complete! The seawater condition might disgust you especially at the Krabi Town area, but trust me, once you get the 30-minutes boat ride out of town, things will get so aesthetically different. Let me know if this article helped you. Travel safe and enjoy Thailand!

The PERFECT 3 Days in Krabi Itinerary (2024 Guide)

Last Updated: January 17, 2024

If you’re planning a trip to Thailand, be sure to consider this awesome three days in Krabi itinerary.

Krabi is a coastal town located on the west coast of Thailand that is surrounded by craggy limestone hills and pristine islands. It has a spot on the bucket list of countless travellers.

Vibrant bustling streets in Ao Nang Beach and the gorgeous view of Railay Beach, dining by the river in Chao Fah Night Market, dipping in Emerald Pool, panoramic view of Krabi city – it’s not exaggerating to say that Krabi truly has something for everyone .

Did I mention the Krabi island hopping tours? There are plenty of those to go around!

Hiking in Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint

Shell cemetery (susan hoi), pay a visit to wat kaew korawaram, sunset & nightlife in ao nang beach, walking along the pier, go for an island-hopping tour, have a drink in a bar in krabi town, hiking in wat tham sua or tiger cave temple , ride to emerald pool in krabi, dip into klong thom hot springs in krabi, dinner in chao fah night market, best time to visit krabi, getting to krabi, thailand, getting around in krabi, where to stay in krabi – baan to guesthouse , wrapping up your krabi itinerary, the perfect 3 days in krabi itinerary for every traveller.

If you’re planning a trip to Krabi, Thailand, here is the perfect 3 days in Krabi itinerary to ease up your travel planning!

We’ll include island tours in the Andaman Sea, the famous Railay Beach, Krabi night market, hikes through the jungle, views over the stunning Krabi province, and more. There is so much to do when you visit Krabi town and the surrounding areas!

Day 1 – Hikes and Nightlife

Let’s get the first morning of your Krabi itinerary started with some hiking. You’ll end the day exploring Ao Nang, a vibrant town for nightlife.

What’s a better way to start your trip in a new city than enjoying the panoramic view over the surrounding wilderness after an exhausting hike?

Everyone has their way of fighting the fatigue of flying. In my case, I always prefer hiking, which guarantees a good night’s sleep at the end of the day.

The hike to Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint is not a difficult one, but it does take some time – around 2-3 hours for a return trip.

And the next stop on our Krabi itinerary is on the way back from Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint, so plan for a long day out.

There are plenty of free motorcycle parking lots at the entrance in front of the luxurious resorts. Don’t ride past the gate, if not, you’ll be charged a parking fee for a distance of 5 minutes’ walk.

There is no entrance fee to this hike, but the ranger at the counter will repeatedly remind you to tip them before and after you do the hike.

The Surreal View Of Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint Over The Vast Rainforest In Krabi.

Like other hikes, there are steep and plain parts on the trail. For some steeper parts, they’ve built staircases to make your hike easier.

It’s all dirt trail on the hike, and wearing a sandal is no doubt a bad idea. The dense jungle blocks off any winds that could be cooling you off, so make sure you bring plenty of water to hydrate yourself!

When you’re approaching the peak, there are signboards pointing to a waterfall and a lake. You may want to avoid these as they are not all that attractive.

At the peak, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view at a few hundred meters above sea level. Just make sure you don’t stand on the dangerous cliffs barred off from visitors.

Never risk your life for a photo, just enjoy the view from the vantage point.

If you have the time, stop at Tubkaek Beach , located right just after leaving Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint. This is a very quiet, long beach with amazing views on the limestone hills budding from the sea surface in distance.

The Krabi Shell Cemetery is located 17 kilometres from Krabi town centre, which makes a great detour on your way back from the Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint. That’s if you’re staying in Krabi town.

The road leading to the entrance of Susan Hoi is intercepted at the main road connecting Ao Nang Beach and Krabi Town.

With the shell fossils dating back to 25-40 million years, it’s a great place for those who’re interested. But if you’re not into these things, you’ll probably want to pass on this attraction and head straight back into Krabi town.

The entrance fee to Susan Hoi is 200 Baht per entry.

On your way to the next point, don’t forget to grab some snacks or drinks from the Family Mart or 7-Eleven. They’re spread out across the town like mushrooms, you find them literally everywhere.

Wat Kaew Korawaram is absolutely the most elegant temple in Krabi. Located right inside Krabi town centre, the temple is easily accessible to visitors staying near the pier.

The staircases leading to the temple from the main road are decorated with naga sculptures, giving it a classic Thailand Buddhist temple appearance.

Upon reaching the temple, you’ll notice several dozens of information boards depicting the stories of Buddha – the birth of Buddha, how Buddha achieved enlightenment , and more.

The only downside is that some of the details and explanations are in the Thai language only.

While you’re there, take a moment and appreciate the architecture of the majestic temple. The entrance to Wat Kaew Korawaram is free of charge!

Now we’re talking about one of the most popular beaches in Thailand – Ao Nang Beach. This well-trodden beach is often the spot to be for sunset views.

And despite the crowds, there’s no reason to miss Ao Nang on your Krabi itinerary.

On your way to Ao Nang Beach, you’ll pass by dozens of vibrant stores before reaching the parking lot.

While the beach is always filled during evening hours, it’s totally possible to find a spot for yourself on the massive stretch of beach.

Head into the bustling streets and alleys of Ao Nang when the sun goes down as this is when the nightlife begins.

Hundreds of restaurants serve cuisines from all around the world on the wide budget range. Need cheap eats? Head over to the night market.

Bars, pubs, and souvenir stores are spread throughout Ao Nang, so you’ll surely enjoy your night there!

Day 2 – Island Hopping

After a fun night in Ao Nang, get ready for an epic day. Your second day in your Krabi itinerary will be an unforgettable one.

Today, we’re going island-hopping! You’ll get to see some gorgeous islands, and even pay a visit to the infamous Railay Beach.

Walking along the Krabi pier is a great way to start your day. Facing east, you could catch the sunrise from the mangrove forest on the opposite side.

The famous crab sculptures and several decorations were placed along the pier and every morning, it welcomes dozens of morning runners.

On your way back to your hotel, grab a sandwich from the Family Mart nearby or quickly stop at a cafe or restaurant of your choice in the area.

It’s going to be a busy day so load up on coffee and grab that bite to eat and let’s get started!

A trip to Krabi wouldn’t be complete without an island-hopping tour. This very coast is surrounded by dozens of breathtaking uninhabited islands, crystal-clear waters and limestone hills.

It’s extremely easy to book a tour in Krabi. The easiest way would be booking with your accommodation manager, who usually has some discounts.

Most tours you will find will either be for 4 islands or 7 islands.

While I was staying in Baan To Guesthouse in Krabi, I went on the 7 Islands Sunset Tour for 900 Baht (discounted from 1,500 Baht).

There are also different tours like the 4 Islands Tour (which is more well-known to visitors), kayaking tours, rainforest discovery tour, and more.

There is honestly not much difference between the 7 Islands and 4 Islands tours.

BONUS – Booking ahead of time ensures you won’t miss out on the tour, and get the best price too! And just for NOMADasaurus readers, if you use the Klook discount code “NOMADS10” on the website when checking out, you’ll get $10 off your first booking!

Both are going to provide you with a full-day tour. The 4 islands tours will allow you to spend more time on each island. But you get to see more on the 7 islands tour.

It’s all up to you whether you want to spend more time racing around between the different islands or relaxing on the beach!

For the 7 Islands Sunset Tour you can expect an itinerary similar to this:

The tuk-tuk will pick you up at 12 pm and bring you to Ao Nam Mao Pier. There, you will register yourself and collect the snorkelling mask.

Snorkeling With The Fish In Chicken Island.

You’ll then be directed onboard the longtail boat to start your day.

Throughout the day you will be visiting Tup Island, Thap Island, Chicken Island, Poda Island, Ma Tang Ming Island, Si Island, Phra Nang Beach, and Railay Beach (which technically isn’t an island).

You will get to walk between Tup Island and Thap Island , which is connected by the shallow beach on foot. You’ll also get to snorkel with the fish near Chicken Island , chill on Poda Island , visit Phra Nang Cave Beach and finally feast on a buffet dinner while watching the sunset in Railay Beach .

Railay Beach is one of Thailand’s most famous. Framed by limestone cliffs and dense jungle, Railay Beach is popular among rock climbers and photographers.

For some tours on your Krabi itinerary, you may also get to go night snorkelling to see the phytoplankton before heading back for the fire show at the pier at around 8 pm.

Sounds cool, right!? Book a 4-Island tour here!

An alternative option is booking a day tour to Koh Phi Phi . Koh Phi Phi is a great day trip, as it includes all the highlights like Viking Cave, Monkey Beach, and Maya Bay.

We would recommend spending a few days in Koh Phi Phi and taking your time seeing Maya Bay and the Koh Phi Phi town center.

But if you’re short on time and you’d rather visit Koh Phi Phi as a day trip from Krabi, you can do that. Any Krabi island hopping trip should include Koh Phi Phi for sure!

The View You Get From Tup Island, Surrounded By Nothing But Pristine Beaches And Crystal-Clear Seawater. Well, And Boats And Other Visitors, Of Course.

After returning back to the Krabi province after a busy day exploring the islands you will find the nightlife is starting to pick up.

Krabi is home to countless bars, swarmed by foreign visitors every night to spend the last few hours of the day. If you’re staying in Ao Nang Beach, then, of course, you should spend the night there.

I never visited all of the bars in Krabi Town, but there’s one particular bar that I highly recommend – Booze Bar . The staff are friendly and they have live music and lovely vibes, all you could ask for in a perfect bar.

READ MORE: Be sure to spend some time visiting Koh Phi Phi after your Krabi itinerary

Day 3 – Caves and the Emerald Pool

Most of the accommodations in Krabi do include breakfast in your stay, but if they don’t, they probably have a café to fill your morning tummy.

Today, we’re gonna rent a motorcycle to have fun around the outskirts of Krabi. If it’s not your thing, it’s pretty easy to get a tuk-tuk in Krabi to get to wherever you want!

You can also save a bunch of time by booking today’s activities as part of an all-inclusive tour ! Perfect if you’d rather not run the risk of riding a motorcycle without insurance or a license when you visit Krabi.

You might want to know that this is way more physically demanding compared to Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint.

I’m not trying to scare you. But trust me, you’ll be thanking yourself after reaching the top, enjoying the magnificent view of the temple sitting upon the ragged limestone hill.

At the base, there are several attractions like an artificial waterfall, cafeteria, and temples.

But the main attraction lies on the top connected by the 1,200-step staircases (Note: due to its physical demand this is not for all travellers.)

Visiting in the morning is a better idea as the weather is usually cooler and the sunlight isn’t as harsh as the scorching tropical sun in the afternoon.

It takes around 20-40 minutes to get to the temple on top.

If you’re worried about dehydration, bring a water bottle with you. But note that there is a water station at the temple on top to refill your bottle.

You’ll have to take off your shoes to visit around the temple, and you could easily spend 30 minutes up there on the view alone.

Also, be extra careful of the aggressive monkeys. Don’t touch them, and don’t go near a mom with babies. And definitely don’t feed them.

Over the years, Emerald Pool has become one of the must-visits in Krabi for no other reasons than it’s simply wonderful. Minerals in the water make the colour absolutely spectacular!

Located inside Thung Teao Forest Natural Park , there are several hiking trails surrounding the emerald pool too. But for now, let’s go straight for the pool.

Due to the tourist crowds, it’s wiser to pay this attraction a visit in the morning. So, it’s all up to you if you want to interchange this with Tiger Cave Temple.

With an entrance fee of 200 Baht, you are allowed to soak yourself in the crystal pond for as long as you want. The entrance closes at 4.30 pm.

Next up, Klong Thom Hot Springs is located near Emerald Pool, so I highly recommend you arrange both of these attractions on the same day on your Krabi itinerary.

The hot spring itself is extremely small and difficult to accommodate the number of visitors daily.

So, the authorities have decided to build an artificial pool near the hot spring and drain part of the water there for more people to enjoy.

The artificial pool is located before the authentic hot spring. So, if you’re visiting in the non-peak hours you could possibly enjoy the hot springs surrounded by gigantic tree roots.

It’s advised that you shouldn’t soak yourself in the hot springs for more than 20 minutes at a time.

The entrance fee to Klong Thom Hot Springs is 160 Baht, plus 10 Baht for your motorbike parking.

Chao Fah Night Market is one of the most enjoyable night markets in all of Thailand. Hundreds of tables and chairs are arranged by the pier, fenced by dozens of hawker stalls.

You can go over all the menus of every stall, but you won’t notice much difference other than the design. Choose the one you like, and order whatever you want, and they’ll arrange a seat for you.

There are milkshake stalls there, which I recommend. (Krabi has much better milkshakes compared to Phi Phi Islands and Phuket, honestly.)

The highlights here are, of course, seafood, since Krabi is a coastal town. And they’re surprisingly affordable here too. You can get a big plate of clams for under 200 Baht!

You could also choose to attend the Blue Dragon Cabaret show , which is one of the more popular and most famous attractions in all of Thailand.

There are other Ladyboy shows throughout Thailand but this is worth a watch on the last of your 3 days in Krabi itinerary.

Krabi Thailand City Guide

Now that you have a pretty good idea about what you’re going to do with your 3 days in Krabi itinerary, let’s help you travel to and around Krabi and find the best accommodation and food!

The best time to visit Krabi and the rest of Southern Thailand is generally during the dry season, which spans from November to April.

During these months, Krabi experiences pleasant weather with clear skies, warm temperatures, and lower humidity. Travel guides would recommend these months for exploring the region’s renowned limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and vibrant marine life.

While the peak tourist season occurs from December to February, offering optimal conditions for various outdoor activities like rock climbing, island hopping, and snorkeling, visitors can still enjoy nice weather in the shoulder months of November and April.

However, you should always check the local weather and be mindful of potential variations in weather patterns, as occasional brief rain showers can occur even during the dry season.

If Krabi is your first destination in Thailand, then there’s good news – there is an international airport in Krabi.

Inside the Krabi Airport, you’ll have to choose between taking the shared van or private transfer to your accommodation.

In my case, I took the shared van, which is surprisingly comfortable with leather seats and a well-air-conditioned interior.

It took around 30 minutes to reach our hostel, and yes, they drop you right at the doorstep. The price? Only 90 Baht!

In some cases where you’re travelling in Phuket first, then consider taking the shared van from the bus terminals to Krabi. There are two bus terminals in Phuket.

It takes 3 hours to reach Krabi by bus. The only downside is that the bus terminal is rather far from most accommodations.

You might need a cab to get to your hotel, or you could walk, which I did! The shared van costs 140 Baht.

What if you’re staying in Ao Nang? Well, it’s pretty similar.

From the airport, catch the shared van to Ao Nang, which costs slightly more at 110 Baht. From Phuket, just tell the receptionist that you’re going to Ao Nang. It’s pretty straightforward as Ao Nang and Krabi are so close.

For travellers, the most popular place to stay would be near the Chao Fah Park Pier. There are plenty of shops, marts, hostels, and hotels – and of course, night markets.

Since there are not that many attractions inside Krabi Town, renting a motorcycle is the easiest way to visit the nearest attractions like the Emerald Pool, Ao Nang, Khao Ngon Nak Viewpoint, and more.

Renting a motorcycle when you visit Krabi is almost effortless and is reasonably priced at around 200-250 Baht per day.

This price excludes petrol, which is pretty cheap as well. Chances are, you can rent a motorcycle from your hotel or hostel.

If a motorcycle is not your thing, then your options would be either private cabs, tours or GrabCar.

Tours are pretty common when you visit Krabi due to its popularity among Chinese, Russian and Korean tourists. So booking a tour is trouble-free.

Baan To Guesthouse definitely has one of the most strategic locations for those who visit Krabi. Within a 5-minutes’ walk, you’ll get to Chao Fah Night Market, the pier, and plenty of amazing cafes and restaurants, like 89 Café .

I highly recommend this café, even though it’s a little pricey, the foods are top-notch and will never disappoint you.

They have one of the cheapest prices for double rooms in Krabi, and the on-site restaurant is perfect for breakfast. The host was extremely friendly as well, and we gladly rented her motorcycle for 250 Baht per day.

The rooms were basic, a little bit warm, so I suggest getting an air-conditioned room.

I hope you enjoyed reading this 3 days Krabi itinerary. Krabi Thailand is a wonderland for those who love nightlife. But it’s also perfect for those who enjoy travelling at a slower pace.

In short, Krabi Thailand has something for everyone. Three days in Krabi are enough for most people to take in the essential attractions.

But if you’re opting to stay longer, Krabi is a great spot to sit back and relax!

If you’re only here for a day, you’re going to want to get out of Krabi Town and get to the beach. So head to Ao Nang, which is essentially Krabi’s main beach. Here’s everything you need, so you don’t have to waste too much time traveling around.

You can beach bum, or if you’re a bit more adventurous, grab a kayak from the end of Ao Nang beach and kayak out to the crazy beautiful karsts jutting out of the water.

Walk along the beach towards the Last Fisherman Bar, just after, you’ll see someone renting kayaks by the hour. Kayak around the large karst rock on the left and find the tiny secret beach on the other side.

Grab a massage at the million and one places available in the area, and try some street food or eat at one of the many restaurants – Massaman House is excellent!

For markets and nightlife…

Markets are better in Krabi Town, and the nightlife is better in Ao Nang (each town has both this is just “who is better”). The two are very easy to get to, so depending on what you like and how long you’re staying, you’ll need to decide where to go.

If you’re staying in Krabi Town, you can spend the day in Ao Nang, as mentioned above, and enjoy the night markets in Krabi Town. If you’re staying in Ao Nang, you can stay there for the nightlife, or head to Krabi Town for a wander around the night markets.

I’ll help you with getting around Krabi below.

Alternative : Should you want a quieter setting and beach, neighboring Nopparat Thara Beach is a good choice. If you want a taste of both, it’s possible. It’s a cheap songtaew (shared truck taxi thing) ride between there and Ao Nang.

Visiting the islands is one of the best things to do in Krabi! Krabi island hopping is an absolute must while you’re in the area and will take up most of your day. There are plenty of islands to go hopping on, the four island tour in Krabi is, you guessed it, a day of visiting four islands around Krabi.

Krabi island hopping is the best things to while visiting the area! This is Chicken Island.

I can’t lie; you’re not going to get the islands all to yourself unless you’re here during off or shoulder season (more info on that below), but it’s still an excellent tour, in my opinion. There’s no particular company to go with; they all offer mainly the same thing for the same price (around $15+ USD).

Taking a tour is so cheap and easy, it’s a great thing to do in Krabi and it’s kind of a must! The beaches are gorgeous with white fluffy sand, crazy blue water, and limestone cliffs towering above you. A few of the islands have fun snorkeling too and the tour operators include the snorkel rental in the price.

I LOVE Railay Beach. Is it off-grid and quiet? Eh, not really. It’s certainly no secret, but it’s damn beautiful, so can you blame people for flocking here?

Railay beach is the best place to chill out while in krabi, thailand

It’s one of the prettiest and best places to visit in Krabi.

Railay West and Pranang Cave beach are the two gorgeous beaches here, the latter being the busiest of the two (mostly because it’s smaller, so it seems fuller).

Rock climbing here or on Tonsai (below) is also one of the best things to do in Krabi—literally, this area is a world-renowned area to go rock climbing, and it’s SO much fun (and cheap) to do.

Book the rock climbing tour I did in Railay. (no experience needed)

RELATED: Go Rock Climbing in Railay and Tonsai

On Railay you can visit the “penis cave” (yep, it’s a thing when you get to Pranang beach, you’ll see it), climb to the lagoon and the Railay viewpoint (a bit of a sketchy climb but so much fun if you’re up for an adventure), and try to spot dusky leaf monkeys (they are the cute and sweet monkeys, gray with black and white circles around their eyes).

I’d say Railay is my favorite thing to do in Krabi but then there’s Tonsai…

So, I love Railay, but I realllyyyy love Tonsai. It’s a more chill version of Railay, and a lot of people flock to Railay and disregard Tonsai (Woo! I win!), which is funny since it’s a 15-minute walk away from Railay. It has grown in popularity from my first visit seven years ago, but it’s still a favorite.

Tonsai possesses an incredibly picturesque beach with hippy reggae bars tucked into the jungle.

The beach is clear of pretty much everything but a couple of restaurants. Unfortunately, there are plans to put a resort right on the beach, but it’s a very slow-moving process, which is excellent news!

Just like Railay, rock climbing here is like no other! I rock climbed on Railay and Tonsai , and while Tonsai is a bit more challenging, it’s my favorite.

If you want to know what to do in Krabi, I’d say Tonsai and Railay are two of the best places to chill out.

You can easily reach one and the other by walking for 15 minutes over a hill. When you’re on Railay, look at the beach, and to the right. Walk over that hill! If you’re on Tonsai, look at the beach and to the left and you’ll see the hill to walk over.

It’s an easy trail but DO NOT walk this trail at night.

RELATED: What to Do in Railay and Tonsai, Krabi Thailand

Tonsai Beach is my favorite please to be in Krabi

Drive up to Tup Keak and spend the day beach bumming and climbing the mountain.

Curious to see what Krabi looks like from a birds-eye view?

That’s what you’ll get here. You’ll need to take a tuk tuk here and make them wait/come back to pick you up or ride your motorbike out here.

The hike provides some of the most incredible views you’ll experience on your Krabi itinerary as there aren’t too many options to get to viewpoints (rock climbing and Tiger Cave are one of the only other ways to get some great views.)

climbing tup keak for sunrise in krabi thailand

A round trip hike takes around 3-4 hours depending on how quick you hike and how long you spend at the top.

At the end of your hike, Tup Kek beach is a few minutes away, take a dip and chill for the rest of the day.

Grab a motorbike and visit Tiger Temple, a hot spring, the Emerland pool, and overall just get lost riding around.

Today is kind of a mix it up as you please kind of day. You could squeeze in probably two of the following activities in one day, maybe more if you go quick…

The Emerald Pool is a popular tourist spot; it’s undoubtedly beautiful, but depending when you go, the crowds make it less than desirable. Go early in the morning or later in the day to avoid the tour buses coming through.

Phanom Bencha National Park has a few waterfalls and some jungle trails to get lost in.

There are numerous hot springs around Krabi as well; however, due to the regularly hot weather, this type of activity is kept to the rainy days or the days where it’s not sweltering outside!

For some more excellent views of Krabi and a full-on workout, man up and take on Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua). No worries, no tigers kept in cages or anything here, just a statue of one and over 1,000 steps to the top of a mountain to see as far over Krabi and you can.

Take a day trip to Ao Thalane and enjoy the area by kayaking. This isn’t that popular of a thing to do in Krabi so it’s usually not crowded around here.

Hope on a motorbike and head a bit north for a day at Ao Thalane. More incredible karst cliffs to admire, and you can spend the day out in a kayak going through mangroves and finding hidden beaches between the massive rock faces.

Kayaking is one of the best things to do in Krabi.

There are options to take a tour so you can explore more and glide through the mangrove forest. If you’re down to go off on your own, stick to the ocean side of Ao Thalane. Maneuvering the mangroves gets tricky, and you can get lost in there, and even worst, get caught out there when it’s low tide, don’t go in there without a guide!

Book this tour to Ao Thalane (you’ll want to book this tour if you don’t ride motorbikes as well since it offers a free pick up!)

One of the best things to do in Krabi is to just get lost.

Getting lost anywhere I visit in the world is my favorite thing to do. Krabi is no exception.

There are TONS of beaches to discover where few people go, but you need to stumble upon them by riding around on a motorbike. There are a few beaches I love in the Krabi area, but I have kept them off the blog (I’m allowed to keep SOME things to myself). I can tell you, though, you don’t have to wander too far to find some sweet hidden secrets.

Other notable spots if you have more time on your Krabi Itinerary:

Ao Luk – waterfalls, caves, kayaking
Phanom Bencha National Park – waterfalls and trails
Ao Namao and Klong Muang – other beaches
Pak Nam in Krabi Town – cave and boat ride
Wat Keaw – white temple
Nopparat Thara Beach – Quiet beach near Ao Nang.

A good Krabi itinerary includes island hopping!

Of course, should you want to venture off, Krabi is pretty big and offers up some islands that are further away from the main Krabi area.

Wander off to the lonely island of Koh Jum and relish in seclusion, put your party pants on and head to Koh Phi Phi or get the best of both worlds and spend some time on Koh Lanta. I have more info on these spots on the links below!

Where to Stay in Krabi?

There are three main areas…

Either you’re in Krabi Town, Ao Nang, or on Railay or Tonsai.

With all of your choices for things to do in Krabi, this is going to be your call, I can’t help here. I don’t plan and create personalized itineraries 🙂

As a rule of thumb:

For beach life and island hopping, you’re going to want to stay in Ao Nang or Tonsai and Railay.

For the things to do inland (the national park, waterfalls, Emerald Pool, etc) those would be a bit closer if you’re coming from Krabi Town.

If you have a flight the next day, particularly in the morning, ONLY stay in Krabi Town.

Below are some of my favorite spots, but you can read more about where to stay in Krabi here .

Blue Juice Guesthouse is simple and inviting with an on-site restaurant, for an enjoyable dining experience. It has a total of 7 rooms, all filled with a range of amenities for a pleasant stay. The location is ideally placed next to the river and the night market

Ao Nang Cliff Beach Resort is a beautiful modern resort with a large infinity swimming pool and gym. Rooms offer a beautiful view of the hills and within proximity are a wide range of eating options.

Railay Viewpoint Resort … the name says it all, this resort offers panoramic views of the ocean, includes a pool and a sun deck. It also includes a restaurant and bar, with sightseeing attractions within just walking distance.

Tonsai Bay Resort offers villas with private balconies are set between the cliffs and the ocean at Tonsai Beach. It’s a great location for enjoying outdoor activities.

The Best Time To Visit Krabi

Finding out what to do with your Krabi itinerary is excellent and all, but what about when to go? The best time to visit Krabi can be a bit tricky as everyone wants nothing but perfect weather, but those “golden” months will also be the busiest and most expensive.

June to October is a bit of a gamble to visit Krabi. You will likely experience rainy days and weather going as far as torrential downpours. November to May is sunnier and drier, and also the busiest months to visit Krabi.

If you want the best months to visit Krabi in my opinion, I’d have to say, April-May (some of the hottest months) or November.

Of course, this is a bit of speculation on my part as I don’t have a crystal ball that tells me the weather for your exact dates (so let’s refrain from commenting things like, “what the weather going to be like this August!?)

Wandering around krabi by boat is a must do!

You can check what the weather in Krabi is right now but these months are my recommendation because…

They are shoulder season months. The weather in Krabi is often pretty decent but not perfect.
Things will be cheaper!

The weather, now more than ever, is very fickle and can change at any time. Crazily enough, the climate differs drastically around the entire country. So if you’re planning to visit other parts of Thailand, you’ll need to do your research to time everything the best you can.

A rule of thumb is to aim between high and low seasons for anywhere you go. (aka shoulder season)

When you’re contemplating the best time to visit Krabi, keep in mind that shoulder season doesn’t mean rain all day! Rainy season doesn’t mean rain all day every day either.

If you go just before or just after the rainy season, there’s no need to be afraid that you’re going to get rained out.

More often than not, the rain happens for a small period, and you get sun for the rest of the day, which isn’t a bad deal! Mainly because it sometimes even happens like clockwork – you can almost predict when it’s going to rain each day.

If you’re after the best time to visit Krabi and you run into some unfavorable weather, worst-case scenario, you cuddle up with a great book, get a massage and gorge yourself with amazing Thai food. Not a bad day, I’d say!

These shoulder season months are also unpredictable, and you could have an entire week of sunshine. On the other hand, if you get unlucky, it could be a week with mostly overcast and rainy weather. It’s certainly a gamble, but it can pay off.

Side note for visiting Krabi in April: This goes for the entire country, but keep in mind this is one of the hottest months of the year for the country and also when they celebrate their New Year, Songkran. It’s an incredibly fun festival to participate in; it’s the largest water fight in the world! Just be aware when coming to visit. Places can book out early, arriving with bags during the festival would be a pain, and costs can go up.

TRANSPORTATION TIP

If you’re looking for bus, boat, or train tickets around Asia, you can easily book them online! Check Availability

How to Get Around Krabi

If you’re flying in, just after baggage claim, there is a bus that will take you to Krabi Town or Ao Nang—it’s very obvious and easy to find.

If you’re getting off at the bus station, grab a songtaew (shared taxi truck thing), and it will take you to the center of Krabi Town or Ao Nang—Again, very easy and obvious!

Songtaews are the main form of transport between Krabi Town and Ao Nang, and they are reliable, cheap (around 50B one way), and easy to ride. Just outside of the 711 near Vogue Mall is the central meeting spot for the songtaew in Krabi Town. This songtaew will take you to Ao Nang.

Just outside of the Tanta Restaurant in Ao Nang, you’ll find the songtaew that heads back to Krabi Town. (You’ll see a sign that says “bus”)

The other option is renting a motorbike, but be careful. They are dangerous, and people are dumb on them. The road between Ao Nang and Krabi Town is a major highway. People go fast, and large trucks use this road too.

It is HIGHLY recommended that you avoid riding between the two towns at night—it’s dangerous, and sometimes tourists are found in an awful position where they are targeted for theft while on a motorbike… Yes, it’s happened.

DON’T ride a tuk tuk alone between Krabi Town and Ao Nang at night, mainly if you are a solo female. Make sure when you go out at night that you’re in the same town as your hotel.

Krabi Town and Ao Nang are very safe to travel between, but at night it can get sketchy.

From Krabi Town – You can easily go to the pier (near Blue Juice Guesthouse) and get a water taxi to the east side of Railay.

From Ao Nang, just get a boat ticket right on the beach . These boats will either take you to Tonsai or to Railay West.

The Ao Nammao pier will also have boats that go to Railay and Tonsai.

Taking a boat ride to get to Tonsai or Railay is a fun thing to do in Krabi.

All rides will take around 20-25 or so minutes depending on which pier you leave from. Yes, you will be on a longtail boat, yes, it can be a bit choppy, yes, you may get splashed a bit, and yes, the leaking at the bottom of the boat is normal.

Ao Nang is the party place. Center Point is a big area with a lot of bars, and then there are random reggae bars along the main road to the right (when the beach is behind you).

In Krabi Town, there isn’t anything crazy, but I liked it more for that reason. There are some chill bars off Chaofa Road like FuBar and Playground or a few others scattered around like Deep Lounge.

Krabi is a safe place, but getting sloppily wasted anywhere and walking home is a bad idea, so be safe!

Hello Nina! Thanks for this itinerary. It’s been pretty helpful to narrow down my plans for Krabi. I’ll be visiting mid-Jan 2020. My plan so far is one night in Ao Nang, two in Railay and two in Phi Phi, but it is flexible. Does this sound too rushed? For more context, this is my very first solo trip abroad and I’m equal parts anxious and excited. Please let me know what you think of this and what would you suggest.

It’s a bit rushed. It will take at least half a day to get to Phi Phi depending on the route/mode of transport. I prefer chill spots so I’d skip it, it’s overrated but that’s just me! If you only have the five days and that’s it, I’d do Ao Nang, Railay, Tonsai – add in an island-hopping day somewhere in there, do a few mainland activities on another, that leaves you with three days to explore, beach bum, do things in the towns, etc.

Hi, thanks for the tip! So now I’m considering Ao Nang and Railay-Tonsai. Is staying for one night enough to see Ao Nang so I get three nights in Railay?

Just want to say a huge thank you for your info! As a solo traveler and for the first time here, this is exactly what I was looking for!! Really helped to figure out what to do.

Yay! Glad it was helpful, Jenna. Have fun!

How hard of a hike is Tup Keak? We’ll both be wearing our little ones (1 year old and 3 year old) in carriers. Would it be a difficult trek with them?

Sorry, not sure what it’s like hiking with kids. It’s not THAT hard of a hike. I also don’t know what “carrier” means but you’d def need those backpacks or something, you can’t do anything handheld, it’s too long and uphill.

Really, so amazing Krabi 1-7 Island tour experience that you have shared here & I think you have enjoyed a lot by visiting this fantastic Island. As I have already seen this Krabi 4-Island during Phuket trip. This excellent trip was arranged by my father as he made this beautiful tour plan with Boat Lagoon Cruises Co. Ltd for which I got my trip so interesting as well as so exciting also for me.

I am about travel to Krabi mid July. Where you would suggest me to stay ?

Did you read my post on where to stay that I mentioned in the post? That should help!

I am travelling solo travelling to krabi on 1 to 3rd Oct 2019. If want join with me. Please drop a mail over [email protected]

Wow. This is so thorough! I’m sitting on the ferry now from Koh Phangan, heading to Krabi. It was pretty rainy in KP, so I’m hoping it’ll be a bit better in and aroun Krabi.

Did you end up diving at all while in Krabi?

I didn’t. Glad it was helpful 🙂 Enjoy Krabi!

How far is Ao Nang from Krabi Town? Fab blog, thankyou!

Really helpful! Thank you 🙂

Nicely put, Nina Ragusa 🙂 Am definitely using the info in this post for my trip 🙂

Hi Nina, I will be joining my husband on a trip to Singapore in late october and after his meetings, we are planning on heading up to this area. Quick question for you. In some of your posts, you mentioning hiking as well as rock climbing in the same post. Does this mean that on the same hike, there could be some rock climbing? If so, how experienced do you need to be and what kind of equipment would be required? We have done lots of hiking, scrambles, etc, and are adventurous but never any actual rock climbing. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks. Viv

Not really. The rock climbing might involve a short hike but otherwise, the other hike or two I mention are separate.

thank you very much for the information.

Thanks for all your info on Krabi will be staying at one of your suggested hotels.

Great, Lisa! 🙂 Enjoy!

Thank you for all the valuable information! this is super helpful in planning my upcoming trip to Thailand. Love your blog! Lina @ SheLikesTravel

Thanks Lina! Have a great time!

Hi, Thank you so much for your post. I will be visiting Krabi September end, next month. It will be 2 of us, wanted to know what kind of expense should we expect per day? (food+alcohol+travel+island tour+maybe kayaking and rock climbing etc.) Excluding stay (We have booked our stay at Ao Nang)

Whats the possibility of going on the speed boat from Krabi to phi phi or a couple of islands and then go to phuket in a span of 2 days?

Sounds awful and extremely rushed. I wouldn’t do it even if there was an option. I’m also not a fan of Phuket and would say to stay in Krabi area and skip Phuket.

If we plan to follow your 7 days itinerary, where do you recommend us to stay (which area)? Do you recommend staying in one place or move around to stay in several areas? Thank you in advance.

Probably Ao Nang would be best, and if you go to Railay/Tonsai area you can stay there. If you rent a motorbike, you can stay almost anywhere and have tons of freedom but if you don’t, Ao Nang would prob make the most sense for the majority of your time. You can check this out too – https://whereintheworldisnina.com/where-to-stay-in-krabi-thailand-any-budget/

Me and my friends are going down to Krabi next month and we still can’t finalize our itinerary for our one week trip. Thank God, I stumble upon your blog and saw this post. I have sent this to my friends and they were actually happy to see this cause we have new ideas on where to go and what to do in Krabi.

Great, thanks!

Holidaying Phuket want day trip to Krabi and reurn 12-22 August 2018 any day stay approx 3 hours Krabi and return 4 – 6 persons

Any cool hotel reviews ? I love to read and sometimes share reviews about unique properties. Thailand has so many awesome experiences. Great itinerary by the way.

Thanks did you read this? https://whereintheworldisnina.com/where-to-stay-in-krabi-thailand-any-budget/

Couldn’t agree with you more when you said that Railay Beach is really beautiful. No doubt why lots of locals and tourists are coming here to spend their vacation. I instantly fell in love with this place the moment I set my feet on the shore and if only I can live here for a month, I’d definitely do so.

Nice itinerary very helpfull By the way i want to visit Emerald pool and hot spring 4 islands Phi phi island Morakot cave Where should i stay for the best location ? Krabi town or ai nang beach And how much does it cost if i want to use private long boat for maybe 4-6persons Thanks a lot

Thanks for the comment Bobby. I have no idea the cost of the boat as it depends how many people are actually going, what islands, what season, who you ask etc. Please ask a long tail boat driver when you arrive. As I mentioned it the post, depending on how many people, it shouldn’t be much more than a tour. Ao nang = the beach Krabi town = the town, not the beach This may help: https://whereintheworldisnina.com/where-to-stay-in-krabi-thailand-any-budget/

Thanks so much for your itinerary! I’m heading to Krabi and surrounding areas in a few weeks and can’t wait!

Awesome! Have a great time. You’re welcome 🙂

The Greatest Krabi Itinerary in Thailand [Step-By-Step Guide]

Ready to adventure to a destination where you can just sit back, relax and soak in stunning coastline scenery? But, you also want to be able to go off-beat and have lots of options for exploring? Then, we’ve got the perfect Krabi itinerary for you.

Krabi, located in southern Thailand, has over 150 islands off its 150km coastline. Paired with warm weather, sumptuous cuisine, and affable locals.

Check out our 7-day itinerary that ticks all your adventure holiday boxes.

What you Should Know about Krabi

Where is krabi.

Krabi is located between Phang Nga and Trang on the southern coast of Thailand. It’s most famed for the more prominent destinations such as Ao Nang, Phi Phi Islands, and Koh Lanta.

Located just 80 minutes from Bangkok by air , it’s the perfect destination for those looking for a less crowded equivalent to Phuket. Check here the latest flight prices.

If you prefer the road, you can take a direct bus to Krabi from Bangkok . The bus is usually more affordable.

What is Krabi Famous For?

Most unique about Krabi is the 150 islands that exist along the coastline. Many do not offer land access, but those are characterized by white sandy beaches, coral reefs, and hidden caves. As a result, it’s one of the best places to go island hopping for those seeking remote and intimate destinations.

If you want to stick to the mainland, you can expect a totally different type of terrain. Here Krabi is characterized by a verdant jungle forest perfect for inner adventurers.

What is the Best Time to Visit Krabi?

The best time to visit Krabi is between November and April. This is because the weather in the south can be quite unpredictable in Thailand. But most places are open all year round, so you’ll always find something to do.

The weather at this time is normally in the high twenties, but a cool ocean breeze keeps it bearable. It’s a tropical destination, so you can expect a few rainy days to occur during this time of the year.

Our 7-Day Krabi Itinerary

Day 1: krabi town & ao nang beach, explore krabi town.

Krabi Town is a bustling market town situated amongst the unique limestone formations that jut from the verdant forest mangroves. It’s one of the main transport links in Thailand, making it a cosmopolitan hub in its city center.

We’d suggest spending half a day here to explore its bazaars and markets selling typical island trinkets. The perfect place for gift shopping! It’s got some of the finest traditional restaurants.

Or, if you’re looking for a break from Thai food, you’ll definitely find some alternative cuisine offerings here.

The river is where you’ll find the main hub of activity. From fishing boats to river taxis, it’s the best spot to catch a ride to the surrounding beaches and islands. Whilst most people hurry to the neighboring big-name destinations, we’d suggest spending the first half of your day here.

It’s the best spot to familiarize yourself with your surroundings and set an agenda for the next few days of exploring.

Enjoy the Views at Ao Nang Beach

Ao Nang is one of the main beaches in Krabi. The beach is a vibrant tourist center located by the beach. It’s fairly small and takes only 30 minutes to walk from one side of town to the other.

It’s a great spot to place yourself for island hopping as most of the boats stop here. This spot is only twenty minutes from the town and has some great hotels in Krabi with a beach view. For your first evening in Thailand to set base before six days of exploring, we couldn’t think of anywhere better!

DAY 2: Railay Beach, Ton Sai & Phang Nga Bay

Relax at the amazing railay beach.

Fun fact about Railay beach? It’s actually a collection of four beaches. It’s one of Thailand’s most beautiful and frequented beach areas. Located just south of Ao Nang Beach, the beach is only accessible by boat. As a result, it’s one of the most tranquil locations in the whole of Thailand.

Characterized with limestone cliffs and long-stretching sandy beaches, you really feel cut-off from the rest of the world here. There is no road access and only footpaths. The only form of transport you see here is long-tail boats giving it an old-world charm. Railay is your very own tropical paradise, perfect for relaxing in the warm summer sun.

If you’re a rock-climbing fanatic, then Railay Beach is the spot for you. Unfortunately, you can rarely climb across the jaw-dropping crags with monkeys as your companions! However, it’s possible to do tours as a beginner if you would like to try with a qualified local instructor.

We’d always suggest going up with a qualified local as they know the crags well and the safest routes possible. Also, it’s only a 15-minute drive from Ao Nang, making it a perfect second pitstop after a morning of exploring that area.

Note that Railay is one of the most popular beach destinations. So it does tend to get pretty busy during peak summer seasons .

Have some Me-Time at Ton Sai Beach

Ton Sai is probably the quietest of the four beaches in Railay. Here there are only a tiny handful of accommodations, bars, and restaurants, as well as a climbing school for those adventurous enough to take on the cliffs. Nevertheless, the beach’s got some of the best snorkeling spots in the south, thanks to its crystal blue ocean.

The most popular activity in Ton Sai lies off the water along the coastline, climbing the limestone cliffs. It’s possible to experience this with a local school , and there are plenty on the island.

cliff climbing should be tried on krabi itinerary

Aside from the cliffs, the beach is decorated with boho-hippy-style restaurants and bars. The perfect place to pick up a refreshing fruit smoothie made using fresh fruits from the jungle behind you.

Railay beach is only a ten-minute walk from here, but it’s a dangerous path when there’s a high tide . If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, you can take a hike through the rainforest. It’s a bit longer and takes around 45 minutes.

Contemplate Nature at Phang Nga Bay

Also referred to as Princess Bay , Phang Nga is one of the most popular attractions in Railay beach. If you’re seeking beautiful natural surroundings, unspoiled rivers, and endless caves to explore, then you can’t miss Phang Nga Bay.

One of the best things about Phang Nga Bay is that it exists in protected areas within the Phang Nga Bay National Park . Everything here is wild and raw . The scenery is stunning because it is so untouched. It’s easy to access the Bay either by boat or even bus station if you’d prefer to travel on land.

It’s a pretty famous landmark and might seem familiar when you first arrive. The famous limestone rock has appeared in many films. It’s also referred to some as ‘ James Bond Island .’

We’d definitely suggest visiting the Phang Nga Bay Marine National Park whilst you’re exploring south Thailand. It’s been designated as a ‘ Ramsar Site ,’ an area dedicated to Ramsar Convention.

These are rare, and few these days, so it’s important that they are being maintained, and the site protects over 28 species of mangrove. It’s possible to explore by bamboo raft. You’ll definitely spot a variety of wild species as you do so.

There are over 80 bird species alone! You’re best to do this with an experienced guide. They know all the best spots for spotting monkeys and other various mammals and wildlife.

DAY 3: Island Hopping Time!

4-island hopping & limestone cliffs.

After a lazy morning enjoying Railay, it’s time to explore more islands. The most typical boat trip is to the 4 islands: Chicken Island, Phanang Cave, Tub Island, and Podah Island.

The islands are most popular for their stunning scenery. You can expect crystal clear blue waters, endless white sandy beaches, and cliff-edge backdrops decorated with coconut palms.

Stop #1: Chicken Island

It got its name for the famous natural landmark. The unique limestone rock that juts out to sea has the same shape as a chicken’s head… it really is quite spectacular! It’s also a great spot for snorkeling as the waters are a little warmer here, and the coral is rich in unique marine life.

chichken island is famous on krabi itinerary

Stop #2: Podah island

It is home to a picturesque bamboo plantation unique visit whilst venturing through southern Thailand. The beach here is stunning. Rock cliffs decorate the beautiful long-stretching beach. It never feels busy here as the beach covers a large surface area. It’s a great spot for a lunch break during the day.

Stop #3: Koh Poda

This one is the smallest of the islands but still breathtaking in its natural beauty. The island is famed for its tidal sandbank and unique shoal formations. It’s a great pitstop to experience the variety on the many small islands that decorate Krabi’s coastline.

Stop #4 Tub Island

Koh Tup is actually situated in the Mu Koh Poda archipelago. Southwestern Ao Nang between Koh Poda and Chicken Island, it is famous among photography enthusiast and drone flyers.

The island is smaller than the other ones of the tour but is so rich in terms of activities. For example, snorkling tours are organized there to see tropical fish.

Don’t Miss the Limestone Cliffs

Krabi’s limestone cliffs are a playground for rock climbers . With over 650 marked routes, enthusiasts from all over the globe come to explore its adventurous crags. There’s a wide variety of routes available, from beginner to the most extreme, so if you fancy a go, then there’s something for everyone!

If you’re still up for connecting with your spirit of adventure, then an afternoon hiking is certainly a great way to experience this! One of the best spots is by Tham Phra Nang , which offers various routes for all levels. In addition, there’s plenty of schools located in the local town so you can go out with an instructor.

It’s one of the four islands you’ll stop at on your island hopping tour. So if you fancy being a little adventurous after lunchtime, then Phra Nang Cave Beach is the best spot for this.

You really can’t beat the view from the top of the cliffs . There’s no better way to spot your next island hopping destination with a panoramic view across the whole coastline!

You’ll head back to Krabi after a day of exploring, ready for the next boat ride out for another full day of island exploring.

DAY 4: Off to Phi Phi Islands

Phi Phi is a group of six islands. They are some of the most breathtaking across the whole of Thailand. Located just a 45-minute speedboat or 90-minute ferry ride from Krabi, it’s one of the must-do experiences along the south coastline.

Imagine picture-perfect endless sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters. All of which are framed by jaw-dropping rock formations. It is a true island paradise.

The two main islands are Phi Phi Leh and Phi Phi Don . Phi Phi Don is the larger of the two and attracts thousands of visitors to stay on its shores. However, Phi Phi Leh is a little less explored but has some of the most stunning beaches.

Our favorite is Maya Bay , where the film ‘The Beach’ with Leonardo Di Caprio was filmed. Several beaches exist inside the bay. Unfortunately, they’re all quite small, and some only exist during the low tide.

We’d suggest hitting this famous spot early in the morning to avoid the rush of boats that tend to hit its shores in the afternoon. Unfortunately, there’s no food available here, so if you want to camp overnight (which is allowed), you’ll need to bring your own food. However, there’s a small shack that sells drinks and snacks.

The coral reef and marine here are some of the most vibrant in Thailand. So after a morning of beach-hopping and a picnic-style lunch, we’d suggest grabbing your gear to explore underwater . The marine here is a protected area, so you’re sure to spot various species under the water.

DAY 5: Visit Tup Keak & Emerald Pool

Have a climbing challenge at tup keak.

One thing you can’t miss while travel through Krabi is the Tab Kaek peak. It’s quite the climb, but the reward is one of the most breathtaking views across the whole of southern Thailand .

It’s one of the most famous photo spots in Thailand. Once you reach the top, which takes around two hours , you’ll come across a small tongue of stone where everyone poses for a photo. It’s quite a steep climb, so despite only being 3.7km, it takes a while to hike up, and we’d suggest bringing lots of water. However, it’s well sign-posted, so you don’t need to do it guided.

We’d suggest tackling this hike in the morning before it gets too hot in the sun. Unfortunately, you’ll need to hire a car or private driver to access the starting point as it’s impossible to reach by public transport.

It takes around half a day for this activity, so we suggest returning to Krabi town after enjoying some wind-down time on one of the beaches after a big day of active adventure!

Take your Unique Photo in Emerald Pool

The Emerald Pool is one of the most unique attractions in Krabi. Located in the Thung Teao Forest Natural Park , it’s an area rich in bio-diversity surrounding the crystal blue pond.

It’s possible to make a nature trail that surrounds the pond. It’s around 2.7 km and includes a visit past a waterfall and the most beautiful vantage point.

The Emerald Pool is one of the most stunning eco-tourist spots in southern Thailand. The pool is located within a wild sanctuary, and you have to take a trail through the tropical rainforest to access the pool. You’re sure to spot some of the most remarkable fauna and flora on your way!

It’s a great place for spotting unique and rare animal and plant species. If you’re lucky, you might spot the Pitta Gurney bird , which was once considered extinct! The forest is lush and verdant, which is a nice contrast from the white sandy islands.

It’s located next to Bang Teao Village , where it’s possible to stay overnight. Alternatively, you can take the hour journey back to Ao Nang.

DAY 6: Live the Experience of Kayaking Ao Thalane

Ao Thalane is one of the most beautiful mangrove forests in Thailand. It’s located only 20km from the town of Krabi and is covered in dense, verdant foliage that wraps the coastline. It’s the perfect place to explore by kayak!

Traveling by kayak means you’re able to explore the small caves and hidden lagoons that exist around every corner. Whilst it’s possible to kayak on the coastline, doing so at Ao Thalane protects you from the current. This means it’s a great activity for all fitness levels, as kayaking along the lagoon is a relaxing experience here!

We’d suggest booking a tour for this experience . It’s great to have a guide who can explain all the various fauna and flora that you will discover along the way.

Ao Thalane is most renowned for its rich fauna and flora. There are several species to spot here, including Kingfishers, Little Herons, and Crab-Eating Macaques. It’s one of the most active ecosystems in Thailand and, with little development, remains to be a true jewel of a destination. Feeling almost completely untouched, it is a place to truly appreciate existing in raw nature.

DAY 7: Explore Hong Island & Tiger Cave

The barely untouched hong island.

Hong Island is one of the most beautiful sites along with the Andaman coast . Arriving by kayak, your view is painted with towering limestone cliffs, crystal clear blue waters, and hidden lagoons. It’s got one of the most beautiful coral reefs, perfect for snorkeling or exploring underwater.

We’ve suggested leaving this one till last because it’s one of the most untouched islands. But, unfortunately, it’s part of the Than Bok Khorani National Park which means it’s only open for day visits, so no overnights are allowed. But it’s a great final island to explore before heading back for a final evening in Krabi Town.

Hong Island consists of a dozen tiny islands , some even without beaches. The most breathtaking element of this island is the natural lagoon that exists amongst the limestone rock formations. There’s only one entrance in, and the channel’s width is about ten meters, so it’s easy to access by kayak. Its crystal blue waters are one of our favorite places to take a final dip!

It’s easy to book a full-day tour of Hong island on a local boat with picnic lunch included. You’ll find lots of tourist agencies offering this in Krabi Town, so there’s no need to book in advance.

Check the Incredible Tiger Cave Temple

After you’ve returned from Hong Island, it’s time to venture to the sky! The Tiger Cave Temple is located just 5KM from the town of Krabi. It’s one of Thailand’s most stunning natural wonders . It’s definitely worth a visit! The biggest attraction is the ‘footprint of the Buddha.’

It’s quite a climb to the top of the temple…1,237, to be exact! But it’s certainly worth it for the breathtaking 360 panoramic views . From here, you can see the Andaman Sea and dramatic cliff-decorated coastlines. It’s also where you’ll find the ‘Buddha’s footprint.’

Not sure when to go? We’d recommend the best time is at sunset . Not only does it make the climb a little easier without the heat. But there’s no better place to enjoy a sunset over the horizon with the red hues decorating the whole of the southern coastline. It’s our favorite way to toast a final farewell after seven days of exploring.

Remember that Tiger Cave is a religious site . So it’s best to dress respectfully. Don’t forget to take a water bottle for hiking up those stairs, and be sure to hide any valuable belongings or sunglasses. The mountain is full of playful monkeys that love to play with valuables!

What budget to plan for Your Krabi Itinerary?

Krabi is much less expensive than Phuket, and most activities are super affordable. For example, if you want to go local and head to night markets, you’ll save a lot on budget .

The most expensive spot is Railay, as it’s a tourist hotspot. But if you stick to Krabi Town with day trips, you’ll save much more!

Krabi VS Phuket, How to Choose?

Not only is Krabi much bigger in size, but it’s also got a dynamic variety of offerings in comparison to Phuket. Most notable are the mangrove forests and limestone cliffs that you won’t typically find in Phuket.

If you’re looking for a less crowded destination and more relaxing, then Krabi is the spot for you. It’s a leisure island which makes it more appealing to families, whereas Phuket attracts a younger crowd.

Now you’ve got your seven-day action-packed Krabi itinerary ready, what are you waiting for? Time to explore the endless islands, relax on white sandy beaches, and explore hidden Mangroves. There is something in Krabi for everyone.

7 Islands Sunset Tour

800 ฿ – 950 ฿

Note: we have had a number of customer complaints about boat safety and poor organisation on this tour; nonetheless it remains popular. If you wish to book anyway, you may do so at your own risk.

What's Included
Pick Up Info
Reviews (6)

Description

AVAILABILITY : Daily, all year round.
MODE OF TRANSPORT : Converted fishing boat
APPROXIMATE TIMING : 13.30 – 21.00
DEPARTURE POINT : Ao Nam Mao Pier

ITINERARY : For those who prefer a later start to their day, this budget trip to the 4 Islands area offers a similar itinerary to the morning departure , but with the added attraction of a sunset over the islands, and the chance of swimming with bioluminscent plankton.

The afternoon itinerary will cover all the best bits along this beautiful stretch of coast. Departing from the mainland around 1.30pm, and stopping to pick up guests at Railay, the first stop is Phra Nang Cave Beach. Then it’s time to head out to the islands, where you will swim and snorkel at Koh Tan Ming – the rock island in front of Poda – before heading around the island for a spot of cliff jumping (for those brave enough to try it – it’s strictly optional and just as entertaining to watch).

Next stop is Koh Si, a rocky outcrop with many underwater reefs and caves that offers a bit better snorkeling than the average. There’ll be a photo op around the head of Chicken Island before the next stop at Koh Tub for some beach time or (at low tide) a walk across the spectacular sandbank that connects it to Chicken and Mor Islands nearby.

Enjoy sunset on the beach at Poda Island (National Park fee / 400 THB per person, payable in cash on the day). There’s plenty of opportunity for photographs as you watch the sun go down over the islands. After dark, you will head back to the mainland for a sit-down buffet meal at East Railay Beach (no view). Beer is available for an additional cost.

After dinner, there will likely be a fire show. Then you will head to the shore off Phra Nang Cave. Here, if you are lucky, you can obtain a radioactive glow, or leave a trail of sparkles in the water by swimming with the harmless phosphorescent plankton (sea conditions permitting). Please be aware the sea in Krabi can get quite rough after dark, so this trip may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness.

Note: itinerary order subject to change due to tide variations throughout the month. The 7 “islands” include several rocks, in addition to what most people would call islands (with beaches, surrounded by water). 7 refers to the number of stops made (Phra Nang Cave – Koh Tan Ming – Koh Si – Koh Tub – Chicken Island – Poda Beach – plankton stop), and the name of the tour is to differentiate from the daytime trip to the same area that offers a bit more beach time and fewer stops.

NOTE: since 18 June 2015 , customers on island-hopping tours that stop at beaches with ranger stations are subject to pay National Park entry fees. These must be paid in cash on the day of travel at the rate of 400 THB per adult and 200 THB per child, and are not included in your ticket price.

Expected group size : 10 – 35 pax, depending on the day and time of year.

Important: Due to tidal conditions, during certain times of the month, passengers will be required to transfer to / from the big boat to a longtail boat to reach the shore. The boat crew will usually assist, but anyone with serious mobility issues should not go on this tour.

6 reviews for 7 Islands Sunset Tour

Nevo Peles – 3 March 2015

We had a great time on the 7 islands trip.

Fauzi – 13 March 2015

We enjoyed the island hopping and snorkelling.

Marc Jaen – 20 March 2015

The trip was awesome! the visit to the islands, snorkel… and people in he group was nice.

Christopher Delfino – 19 April 2016

Bad start – we were picked up at 11.30 and basically waited outside a shop for almost 2 hours before we left. Admittedly this did not put us in a good mood for the rest of the trip. The female guide tried her best but the whole thing felt a bit ramshackle, and boat was in a poor condition. Barely got time to see the sunset and dinner was in a very dingy looking place. Islands were amazing but this is definitely a budget trip, don’t waste your money. We went on the junk cruise the next day and though more expensive worth every penny.

Lenny – 3 January 2017

The local guides did there best but we had a few recomandations. We were picked up very early and had to wait a few hours before we started the trip. We were not informed at forehand that we had to pay for the bridge. It was only a few Bath but it felt not good, because during the whole trip we wonder what more unexpected manditory cost would come. I would be better to mention it at the booking site, so that there won’t be surprises. Boat was old but we never felt unsafe, it’s not Europe. Restaurant was also a little poor. There was not enough food. Everyone had one small plate, especially young European men were still hungry afterwards. Tour itself was nice. Very beautiful nature.

Milo – 25 January 2017

Do not do this! Pickup was half an hour late. On the pier we had to wait for another 45 minutes. The promised speed boat, was only a big long tail boat and the engine broke up after a mile. So we needed to change to a small long tail boat with very little place for everyone. The guide was shouting and unfriendly. Always rushing us to the next place. The BBQ is a small Thai buffet with 5 dishes. Through the rush I forgot my jacket I. The restaurant and the guide was not very helpful to get even the number of the restaurant.

Don’t do this tour!!!

PERFECT 7-Day Phuket And Krabi Itinerary For 2024!

Your #1 Resource For All Things Travel Thailand Related

If you are planning a Phuket and Krabi itinerary and are not sure how to spend your days, then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve done exactly what you are planning to do, so I can share some insight and experience on organizing a Phuket and Krabi trip.

As you might already know, Phuket and Krabi are two of the most popular beach destinations in Thailand, and there is no doubt that there are plenty of things to do.

That is why I’ve created this 7-day Phuket and Krabi itinerary that explores the best highlights of these two places, so you can make the most out of your vacation.

Let’s get to it!

How Many Days In Phuket And Krabi Is Enough?

Before we jump into our 7-day Krabi and Phuket itinerary, let’s find out how many days you should spend in those two places.

I recommend spending no less than 7 days in Phuket and Krabi because there are simply so many things to explore. With 7 days, you’ll just have enough time to explore iconic places like Maya Bay, Phi Phi Islands, Railay Beach, and Patong Beach.

However, if you have the time, I would recommend you to spend 10 days in Phuket and Krabi. This will give you plenty of time for sightseeing and just relaxing on the beach, which you don’t really do that much of with 7 days!

Things To Do On Our 7-Day Phuket And Krabi Itinerary

Below we’ll give a day-by-day breakdown of things to do in Phuket and Krabi on each day. We’ve started our itinerary in Phuket instead of Krabi, but it can be done vice versa as well.

Day 1: Arrival Day At Phuket And Relaxing On The Beach

On your first day, you will most likely arrive in Phuket by plane. After getting from Phuket Airport to your accommodation, it is time to relax on one of the many stunning beaches.

Pro Tip: Organize a transfer shuttle from Phuket Airport to your accommodation to save time and money!

If you are looking for a lively atmosphere for your beach day, head to Phuket’s most famous beach – Patong Beach.

Patong Beach is a busy beach with tons of activities, such as parasailing, jet skiing and more. But don’t mistake it for being dirty or overly crowded, as you can still find some quieter areas on the beach.

For a more relaxing vibe, head to Kata or Karon Beach, where you can also find plenty of restaurants and bars. Karon is my favorite beach in Phuket thanks to its white sand and crystal clear water. It is busy but not too busy, and the view from there is just gorgeous!

Day 2: Big Budhha, Phuket Town, And Partying At Patong Beach

On the second day, we recommend renting a motorbike or hiring a private driver to explore more of Phuket’s inland areas.

First, head to the Big Buddha, one of the most famous landmarks on the island. This gigantic white marble statue is 45 meters tall and sits on top of Nakkerd Hill with breathtaking views over Phuket.

Next, make your way to Phuket Town, where you can explore the old town with its unique Sino-Portuguese architecture and colorful buildings. If you are visiting on Sunday, then make sure to visit the famous Sunday Walking Street Market for some amazing street food and souvenirs.

In the evening, head back to Patong Beach for a night out. Grab some street food at one of the night markets, then hit up the Bangla Road for some lively bars and clubs. It’s a definite must-do experience in Phuket!

Day 3: Koh Panyee And Bond Island Tour

On the third day, take a day tour to explore some of the islands and beaches near Phuket. A popular island hopping tour from Phuket is the Koh Panyee Tour with Bond Island.

Koh Panyee is an iconic floating village built entirely on stilts over the water by Indonesian fishermen. The community is predominantly Thai Muslim and has approximately 1,600 people from 360 families.

This remarkable village floats in the middle of Phang Nga Bay and is part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park.

James Bond Island, known locally as Khao Phing Kan, is one of the most famous landmarks in Thailand . It earned its name from the James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun” which was filmed there in 1974.

At James Bond Island, visitors can admire the peculiar shape and the striking rocky pinnacle that juts out of the water.

Both islands are situated in Phang Nga Bay and are part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park!

Day 4: Go From Phuket To Krabi And Relax On The Beach

On day four, it’s time to head from Phuket to Krabi. For everyone traveling between Phuket and Krabi, even budget travelers, I recommend organizing a shuttle transfer. That is because public transportation takes a lot longer and drops you off either in Krabi Town or the outskirts of Krabi.

The shuttle from Phuket to Ao Nang takes around 3 to 4 hours, and once you check into your accommodation in Krabi, it is time to relax on one of the beaches!

There is really one beach in Krabi that is easy to get to and nice to relax on: Ao Nang Beach. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches in Krabi with stunning limestone cliffs and clear blue water.

Spend the rest of your day in Ao Nang, and make sure you check out Ao Nang Landmark Night Market in the evening for some delicious street food.

📚 Read More: Phuket or Krabi: Which Should You Pick?

Day 5: Tiger Cave Temple And Emerald Pool

On the fifth day, we recommend exploring some of Krabi’s top attractions. Start your day early by heading to Wat Tham Sua or Tiger Cave Temple, located about 15 kilometers outside of Krabi Town.

To reach the summit where the tiger paw prints are, you’ll have to climb a steep stairway with over 1,200 steps! But don’t worry, the climb is worth it once you experience the stunning views from the top.

Next, head to the Emerald Pool , a beautiful natural pool with crystal clear water surrounded by lush jungle. It’s a great place for swimming and cooling off after your trek up to Tiger Cave Temple.

It is possible to do this on your own with a rental scooter or a hired taxi for a day. However, if you want to save some money and don’t want to drive hours on the scooter, we recommend going on a tour.

I drove from Ao Nang to Emerald Pool and it took 2 hours one way on a scooter. It was a painful experience that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies

Day 6: Phi Phi Island Tour With Maya Bay

If you have come to Phuket and Krabi, then visiting the Phi Phi Islands is a must! Two islands make up the Phi Phi Islands: Ko Phi Phi Don and Ko Phi Phi Leh.

Phi Phi Don is the main island with resorts, restaurants, and bars while Ko Phi Phi Leh is home to the most famous beach in Thailand – Maya Bay, made famous by the movie “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Maya Bay was closed for many years to allow for the damaged coral and wildlife to recover, but it has recently reopened to tourists! Don’t miss this Thailand bucket list experience !

Because Koh Phi Phi is rather far from Krabi and Phuket, we recommend doing a day tour to explore the islands. Make sure you pick a tour that includes snorkeling and sunbathing as well as Phang Nga Bay is full of gorgeous beaches and underwater wildlife.

Note: If you are considering staying on the Phi Phi Island (which you totally should), then check out our Phuket, Krabi and Koh Phi Phi itinerary here!

Day 7: Railay Beach Departure

On your final day, wake up early and head to Railay Beach for some last-minute beach relaxation and exploration. Railay Beach is cut off from the mainland by epic limestone cliffs, so it is only accessible by boat.

Railay Beach and its accompanying town are quite small, so it won’t take that long to see. Walk around the island and explore the different beaches, go rock climbing on the limestone cliffs (or just admire), or simply soak up the sun and enjoy your last day in paradise.

In the afternoon, take a boat back to Ao Nang and catch your shuttle or transportation back to either Phuket or Krabi airport for your departure flight.

Where To Stay In Phuket

The Thai party island of Phuket has tons of areas catering to different budgets and preferences. But because our Phuket and Krabi itinerary are only 7 days long, we’ll need to stay pretty central.

For that, we recommend staying in Patong Beach, the most popular and busiest area of Phuket. Stay close to the beach and nightlife, or find a quieter spot further away from the main strip.

Karon Beach is also a great option, with its long stretch of sand and relaxed vibe. It is located directly south of Patong Beach so you can still easily access the nightlife if you wish.

📚 Read More: Patong Beach or Karon Beach: Where Should You Stay?

Kamala Beach is another option, offering a more peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, perfect for couples or families. It’s just north of Patong Beach and still close enough to the action.

Where To Stay In Krabi

Similar to Phuket, the province of Krabi has many different areas to choose from when it comes to accommodation. However, we recommend staying in either Ao Nang, the main tourist hub of the Krabi province.

You might be tempted to stay on Railay Beach, but keep in mind that the accommodation options are limited and tend to be more expensive. Plus, staying in Ao Nang allows for easier access to other parts of Krabi like Koh Phi Phi or the Tiger Cave Temple.

Krabi Town is not a bad place to stay either, but the disadvantage of staying there is the distance from the beaches. If you don’t mind a 20-30 minute drive to the beach, Krabi Town offers a more local and authentic experience.

The Ultimate 7 Day Phuket Itinerary – How to Spend 7 Days in Phuket, Koh Phi Phi and Krabi.

The first part of planning your Phuket itinerary is setting your dates and booking in your flights and accommodation – then you can start deciding all the fun things you’re going to do!

Phuket’s international airport makes getting to the island easy. The best time to visit Phuket weatherwise is between December and March. This is also the peak season so book your flights, accommodation and activities like island hopping trips in advance. I’ll include plenty more Phuket travel tips at the end of this article.

Where To Stay in Phuket, Thailand

As Thailand’s largest island, there’s a huge range of different areas and places to stay in Phuket to suit all budgets and types of traveller.

From luxury hotels and family friendly resorts, to budget hotels and backpacker hostels, there’s no shortage of choice so the best place for you will really depend on what you are looking for.

Each place has a very different vibe so you can find out more about Phuket’s best hotels, resorts, and areas in my comprehensive guide on where to stay in Phuket .

The best beaches in Phuket are located on the West Coast. Lively Patong Beach is best for nightlife and budget travelers, while Kata beach, Karon beach and Kamala beach are popular with families and couples as they offer a more balanced experience.

Further north, Bang Tao beach and Mai Khao beach offer unspoiled beaches, luxury resorts and a peaceful atmosphere. Old Phuket Town is the historical and cultural heart of the island and offers cafes, markets and colourful, heritage and boutique hotels .

To follow this itinerary I’d recommend staying near Nai Harn and Rawai in the south as these are the most stunning and trendy areas to stay right now.

Here are my top accommodation picks for Nai Harn and Rawai that provide a convenient base for this Phuket itinerary:

Best Luxury Hotel: The Nai Harn – Perched on a hill overlooking Nai Harn beach this stunning 5 star hotel offers a beach-club style pool and bar area and an amazing breakfast buffet!
Best Mid-Range Hotel: Selina – Stylish “all-in-one resort” with a beachfront restaurant and pool, wellness deck, and co-working space perfect for digital nomads.
Best Budget Hote l: Roost Glamping – Unique and glamourous camping experience with a pool and proper beds in stylish bells tents surrounded by nature.

Be aware that it is a 1-hour (or more) drive from Phuket International Airport which is located in the north of the island to Rawai in the South.

Staying at Kata Beach is also a good option as there’s a bit more choice and it’s more centrally located but the beaches are busier here.

How Long To Spend In Phuket

There’s so many beautiful places to visit and things to do in Phuket that a weekend or 3 days in Phuket is not enough time to see it all.

Along with exploring different beaches and attractions on Phuket island itself, you’ll also want to visit a few nearby islands. And maybe you want to see the nearby provinces of Phang Nga or Krabi , too?

If so, I highly recommend staying at least 7 days in Phuket (or more). Seven days is just enough time to enjoy all the top offerings of Phuket, plus check out the famous Phi Phi islands and some parts of Phang Nga Bay and Krabi too.

While the following itinerary can easily fit into seven days, if you have more time and want to take it slower I recommend staying in Phuket for 10 days or 2 weeks. You could extend your stay in Krabi, add a couple more island day trips or stay a few nights on Phuket’s other beautiful islands like Koh Yao Yai.

For more inspiration check out my Phuket Island Hopping And Day Trips guide – I guarantee you won’t get bored!

But how can you fit it all into seven days? The following 7 days in Phuket itinerary will show you how!

The Best 7 Day Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi Itinerary

Day 1 – arrive, settle in and relax.

View from The Nai Harn beach hotel in Phuket

Ease into your 7 day Phuket itinerary by spending the first day settling into your hotel and enjoying the beaches and local attractions. Make your arrival smooth and stress free by prebooking an airport transfer to avoid getting ripped off by taxis.

Once you’ve checked into your accommodation and unpacked, head to the beautiful Nai Harn beach to refresh in the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea and soak up the sun.

Just before sunset, drive or hike up the hill to The Windmill for an epic sunset. Alternatively, head to the nearby Yanui beach for a sunset kayaking session!

Go for dinner at one of the incredible seafood restaurants along Rawai Beach. I recommend Nikita’s (book ahead to get a waterside table!). After dinner, head across the road to Freedom Bar or Rawai Reggae Bar for live music and drinks.

Or, if you are feeling jet lagged and want to get an early night for a big day of beach hopping tomorrow, treat yourself to one of the spa treatments at your hotel.

Day 2 – Explore Phuket’s Famous West Coast Beaches

Phuket is home to some of the best beaches in Thailand, so it only makes sense to begin your Phuket itinerary with a beach day!

Start the day by hiking up to Promthep Cape in Rawai – the most southern point in Phuket. This stunning peninsula gets crowded every evening for sunset, but in the morning, it’s peaceful and beautiful. You can enjoy the view from the top or hike down to the end of the cape.

From here, head to Kata Beach for a morning surf session but make sure to stop at the viewpoint where you can get a stunning view of three beaches.

I f you prefer to sunbathe, check out Kata’s smaller sister – Kata Noi Beach . This tiny cove is home to numerous luxury resorts, giving it an almost private beach vibe.

Enjoy lunch in Kata town before taking a short drive to Karon Beach , one of the longest and most stunning white sand beaches in Phuket.

Along the way, stop at the trendy ‘ A Blanket & A Pillow Cafe ‘ for an iced coffee with an epic view overlooking the south of Karon beach.

Conclude your afternoon with a long walk or relaxing beach massage on Karon Beach before heading to Patong for the evening.

Hail one of the many tuk tuks for a fun ride to the famous Bangla Road at Patong beach , a bustling strip of bars and nightclubs.

Tuck into some delicious and affordable Thai cuisine at Patong Night Market . Here, you can get some of the cheapest and tastiest Pad Thai, delicious fresh fruit, and Thai desserts.

Patong is undoubtedly the hub of Phuket nightlife, but Bangla Road can be pretty noisy and seedy so isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but it’s worth checking it out at least once.

If you prefer a more chilled and elegant evening, head to one of the rooftop bars for spectacular sunset views or back to Karon Beach for cocktails and fire shows at Tann Terrace .

Day 3 – Enjoy Unspoilt Beaches and Elephant Sanctuaries

For day 3 in Phuket, explore the island’s north, where you will find many more stunning beaches and fabulous attractions.

Bang Tao Beach is 6 km of white sand with crystal clear waters ideal for swimming. The nearby Surin Beach is much smaller but has a wild, untouched vibe. Parts of it are also shaded by palm trees, helping you escape the heat!

I recommend enjoying a leisurely lunch complete with an ice-cold beer at one of the beach clubs, such as Hugo Hug, Carpe Diem, or Catch.

After lunch, if you want more beach time, head to Banana Beach or Mai Khao Beach , two peaceful and beautiful beaches in the far north of the island.

If you’re all beached out, head to Phuket Elephant Sanctuary in Thalang. Unlike many of Phuket’s ‘elephant camps, ‘ this ethical elephant sanctuary does not harm elephants by offering rides or bathing sessions. Instead, you can admire the beautiful mammals from above on a 1.5-hour canopy walkway tour .

Looking for an epic dining experience? Then, on the way back to your hotel, stop at Three Monkeys , one of Phuket’s most famous restaurants. Three Monkeys boasts a breath taking hilltop location built amidst a lush rainforest. The food and drink are a bit more expensive than other places, but it’s worth it because the views and experience are priceless!

Day 4 – Discover Temples, Thai Culture and Phuket Old Town

Big Buddha - Things to do in Phuket, Thailand

Now you’ve seen some of Phuket’s beaches it’s time for some Thai culture! On day 4, visit Phuket town to see Phuket’s cultural hub and explore some nearby temples.

Start the day with a Thai cooking class where you visit a local market to buy the ingredients before making some famous Thai food such as pad thai, vegetable spring rolls and green curry. At the end of the cooking class, you can taste your creations, filling your belly for an afternoon of sightseeing.

Continue your cultural exploration with a visit to Wat Chalong , one of Phuket’s most significant historical landmarks. This temple is just as popular with locals as it is with tourists. So you can learn first hand about the Thai culture of merit-making, a Buddhist practice for clearing bad karma and bringing good luck.

For sunset head up to the famous Big Buddha nearby. This is not your standard temple; it is a 45-meter (148 feet) tall and 25.45-meter (83.5 feet) wide white Buddha statue sitting atop one of the highest mountains on Phuket island.

The concrete statue is covered with Burmese white marble, and you can spot it from various points on the island. Still, it’s well worth seeing it up close, where you will also get an incredible view over the south of the island. It’s a popular sunset spot.

In the evening, head to Phuket Old Town to check out the colourful historic shophouses, boutiques and cafes. For dinner try some top-quality Thai food or international cuisine.

The best and easiest way to see all of these cultural attractions is with a tour like this half day Phuket City Tour which takes you to the Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Phuket Town and an amazing viewpoint.

If you’re visiting Phuket Old Town on the weekend, check out the night markets for cheap but delicious street food. Try to visit on a Sunday to experience the Phuket Sunday Walking Street Market , when the streets really come to life and a great place to pick up some cool and unique souvenirs and gifts!

If you’re there on a weekday, don’t worry, as there are plenty of incredible restaurants in Phuket Town. Go Benz is extremely popular among locals, with long queues leading down the street every night.

Then, for dessert, grab some French toast from Phuketique before enjoying a cocktail or two at one of Phuket Town’s MANY cute bars.

Day 5 – Visit Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island

James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan) in Thailand

For day 5, it’s time to get out of Phuket and explore the stunning Phang Nga Bay, located in the next province north of Phuket.

Morning & Afternoon

One of the most popular ways to explore Phang Nga Bay is with a boat trip to James Bond Island . This island became famous after being used as a filming location for the 1974 James Bond movie “ The Man with the Golden Gun.”

There are many different types of boat trips available to James Bond Island, including via speed boat, luxury yacht, and traditional long-tail boat.

I recommend choosing a day trip that includes kayaking, such as this James Bond Island Day Trip With Lunch . This trip includes kayaking through the caves of Panak Island and sea canoeing around Koh Hong Island’s emerald lagoons – the highlights of the Phang Nga Bay.

As most James Bond Island hopping trips last 8 to 9 hours, expect to return to your hotel around 6 p.m.

As tomorrow involves another big day trip, I recommend a quiet dinner near your hotel before an early night. If you want something unique, check out Rock Salt at The Nai Harn or Rustic And Blue overlooking Rawai Beach.

Day 6 – Visit The Phi Phi Islands And Maya Bay

No itinerary for Phuket is complete without a day trip to Phi Phi islands and the famous Maya Bay. So set an early alarm to make the most of this incredible part of Phuket and Krabi!

The best way to get to Phi Phi islands from Phuket is via speedboat. There are MANY tours available, which you can book online or in person, or you can take the public ferry directly from Rassada Pier in Phuket Town.

Most tours will pick you up from your hotel and include multiple stops in the Phi Phi islands. For example, this top rated Phi Phi Islands and Maya Bay Day Trip includes three snorkeling stops, along with sightseeing stops in Maya Bay, Viking Cave, and Monkey Beach (where you can see wild monkeys) and lunch.

Maya Bay is the most popular tourist destination in the Phi Phi islands, famed for being the filming destination for the 2000 film “ The Beach. ” While you can no longer swim at Maya Bay it’s still a spectacular sight to witness. Bamboo Island is another highlight on Phi Phi island hopping tours due to its serene location for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving.

If you want to enjoy the island’s party vibe spend the night on Phi Phi Don (the archipelago’s only inhabited island). While the island is considerably more expensive than mainland Phuket or Krabi, there are plenty of budget accommodations alongside the luxury hotels.

If you want to experience the island’s nightlife stay somewhere like Phi Phi Villa Resort . This beachfront resort is close enough to Ton Sai Village to enjoy the parties but far away enough to get a peaceful nights sleep!

Alternatively, you can take the ferry from Ton Sai pier in Phi Phi Don to Krabi and enjoy an evening in Krabi Town or at Ao Nang night market before the final day of your Krabi Phuket itinerary. There are many hotels in Ao Nang but my favourite place to stay in Krabi is the stunning Railay Bay Resort .

Be aware that the last ferry to Krabi is at 5 p.m. and takes 2 hours. You can also get a private speedboat transfer at a time that suits you which only takes 1 hour and includes a transfer to your hotel or the airport.

Day 7 – Explore Krabi And Railay Beach

On the final day of your Phuket and Krabi itinerary, spend some time exploring the sights, attractions, and beaches in Krabi.

If you stayed in Krabi last night, you can start the final day of your Phuket Krabi Phi Phi itinerary bright and early. You could even join a jam-packed 4 Islands Krabi Day Tour , which visits the beautiful Phra Nang Cave Beach at Railay, along with stops at Koh Poda, Chicken Island, Koh Tub, and Koh Mor.

However, if you stayed in Phi Phi the night before, take the first ferry to Krabi at 9 a.m. or the 10 a.m. speedboat, arriving by 11 a.m.

One must-visit in Krabi is Railay Beach . You can take a long tail boat here to explore the incredible limestone cliffs, kayak through the hidden lagoons, and hike the impressive bat cave.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, eat lunch at one of the restaurants along Ao Nang beach before a spot of sunbathing. Or escape the crowds by driving 30 minutes north to the peaceful Klong Muang Beach .

If you’re up for more of a jungle adventure you could explore the Tiger Cave Temple , and bathe in the hot springs and emerald pool. This Krabi Jungle Tour will take you there.

If you’re leaving Krabi today, head to the airport to catch your flight. To avoid traveling back on yourself to Phuket you might want to consider flying out from Krabi airport. Otherwise, enjoy a final night in Krabi Town before your onward journey tomorrow!

More Tips For Planning Your Itinerary For Phuket

Before you book in your Phuket itinerary, here’s a few important tips to help you plan your trip to Phuket.

Best Time to Visit Phuket

As a tropical island, Phuket is warm all year round, but has different seasons that you should be aware of.

The best time to visit Phuket is between December to March when you can expect consistently good weather – blue skies and plenty of sunshine but it’s not too hot and humid.

This is also the peak tourist season and the busiest, and most expensive, time to visit Phuket, so you should decide on your itinerary in advance and book in your accommodation, activities and day trips before arriving to avoid disappointment. I use Booking.com and Agoda to book hotels as they have the biggest selection at the best prices.

April and May are a good time to visit Phuket if you don’t mind the heat. The island is not too crowded by this time, but it can be very hot, ranging from 27°C to 36°C, which makes sightseeing a little uncomfortable.

Also consider November , it can be a lovely month to visit as Phuket is relatively quiet but the weather can unpredictable as it’s the end of the rainy season.

June to October is the rainy season which sees short but frequent tropical downpours, cloudy and overcast skies. You’ll still get some sunny, dry days but the weather can be quite unpredictable and rough seas mean that it is sometimes not safe to swim during this time.

How to Get to Phuket and Get Around

Traveling to Phuket is easy as the island is home to Phuket International Airport (HKT) It’s Thailand’s second busiest airport and receives many direct flights from all over the world. I find the best connections and cheapest flight deals with WayAway and even get cashback.

For this Phuket – Krabi itinerary you might want to consider flying into Phuket airport and then flying out from Krabi Airport to avoid traveling back on yourself.

There are also buses from all over the country, the best place to book buses, trains and even ferries in Thailand is on 12Go Asia . But as Phuket is approximately a 12-hours from Bangkok, flying might be the quickest and easiest option, even if you’re visiting Phuket as part of a larger trip around Thailand.

Most nationalities can either get a visa exemption for 30 days, or a visa on arrival, which makes entering Thailand easy and convenient.

Once you arrive there are several options for getting from the airport to your accommodation. The easiest way is to book an airport transfer through your Viator, your hotel or a reputable company. There are also taxi and bus services on offer at the airport but taxis often overcharge.

Taxis in Phuket can be expensive, by Thai standards, so agree the rate first before hopping in. I recommend using online apps like Grab or Bolt for a cheaper and more convenient option.

The best place to book activities, tours and day trips in advance is on Viator or Get Your Guide , because there’s a lot of choice and you can read reviews so you know what to expect and can ensure your trip is a memorable experience for all the right reasons! If you’re visiting multiple places in one day a tour can be better value than taking lots of taxis.

If you’re on a budget then you can travel around Phuket by using the Smart Bus , which runs between the airport and Rawai stopping at all the major beach towns. A single ride is 100 THB, and you can also buy day or multi-day passes.

Riding in a tuk-tuk can be a fun experience that you should definitely try at least once when you’re in Thailand, but they are more expensive than taxis and most suitable for short distances.

For the most freedom you can rent a scooter or motorbike to explore Phuket. However, the roads can be busy and windy so I’d only recommend this if you already have experience driving in Thailand or Asia before. Make sure you have an international driving license (the police do check) and insurance that covers this too.
