Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Lanta Islands, which offer a more relaxed ambiance than Krabi. If you have less time, you can skip the hot springs or Emerald Pool. Make sure to carry enough sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Always carry water with you while traveling through Krabi as it can be extremely hot and humid. Try the local seafood as it is a specialty of Krabi and should not be missed!
