Re: Advice for Krabi trip

Hi et

Yes, I think you can tweak your schedule so both you and gf will be happy :-)
As soon as you get to Ao Nang on your day of arrival, hire a taxi to take you to the hot springs / emerald pool (there is a stand on the main road right outside Buri Tara) - no need to go with an organised tour. You will be able to bargain the price as it will not be a full day. But you will get a couple of hours there, which is plenty. And at this time of day, it should be quite deserted as well.

This leaves day 3 free to go to Phi Phi, which does need a full day.

Enjoy your stay!

Hi there YK

Am too like et will be flying in to Krabi , will be staying in Ao Nang Area for 3 nites end of this month.

What are your suggestions ? I understand that its the rainy season, will that hamper any island tours ?

BTW. with the recent unrest in Bangkok, is Krabi safe to travel now?

Hi Max

No problems at all in Krabi, or anywhere in the south of Thailand. We are simply watching events on TV, and take no part in them.

Island tours will be leaving daily except in the severest weather conditions - huge storm, or very choppy sea - but this happens barely a couple of times during rainy season, so you should be fine.
