When To Go – Best Time to Visit Krabi
Krabi is blessed with a warm, tropical climate which means that you can actually holiday there at any time of the year and still expect lovely weather. Conditions are particularly pleasant between the months of March and November, when there is reduced humidity and a light sea breeze. December to January is high season and we recommend that you book your Thalane Villa early if you plan to visit at this busy time. Alternatively, you can visit Krabi during low season - from May to October – when, not only will you benefit from a reduced rate on your Thalane Villa, but the beaches and resorts will be significantly quieter. You can enjoy some wonderful weather at this time of year, but remember it is monsoon season so you will experience some heavy, but mostly short lived downpours from time to time.
Getting There – Travel to Krabi
Krabi is extremely well connected – there are regular, one hour flights from Bangkok to Krabi International Airport which is conveniently located just 35 km from Thalane Villas. During peak season it is even possible to take a direct international flight to Krabi from an ever growing number of worldwide locations. If you are on a restricted budget you can fly to Phuket International Airport which is only two hours drive from Thalane. Flights to the Phuket are sometimes significantly cheaper and there is often more choice.
If you are starting your holiday in Bangkok, you might also consider traveling to Krabi in an air conditioned bus – Bangkok to Krabi bus terminal takes around 12 hours and is comfortable alternative to flying.
Getting Around – Krabi Transport
There are plenty of novel transport options that make travel in Krabi a fun activity in its own right!
Songthaew – these unique, open air buses are a cheap and popular method of public transport.
Tuk Tuks – the quintessential Thai transportation that needs no introduction! An enjoyable holiday experience, but make sure that you agree the price of your journey upfront!
Motorbike taxis – a flexible mode of transport perfect for negotiating busy streets, but not recommended for the faint hearted!
