WHEN TO GO

Best time from the end of November to April (tourist season). Worst month June and September. I prefer July and October (low season – good rates/few people)
TIP

You can easily combine Krabi with Pukhet and Ko Phi Phi. Fly to Krabi and enjoy a couple of days on this beautiful place. Take the ferry to Ko Phi Phi and stay overnight. Continue the next day to Phuket. After having enjoyed Phuket fly back to Bangkok.
