Is Krabi good for solo travel?

Safety:Safe

Krabi is generally safe for solo female travelers. It's a popular destination known for its friendly locals, scenic landscapes, and well-frequented tourist spots. Nevertheless, it's still important to exercise general safety measures such as not wandering alone late at night in desolate areas and keeping your belongings secure at all times. Always respect local customs and dress modestly to avoid any unwanted attention.

Transport:Easy

Krabi is quite navigable, with a range of available local transportation options like taxis, buses, or motorbike rentals. The area enjoys good infrastructure, making it easier to travel. Heavily touristic areas might be a little fast-paced for some, but locals are generally helpful if assistance is needed. Be prepared to haggle for taxi fares and always ensure your safety when renting motorbikes.

Things to do:Interesting

Krabi offers numerous activities suited to a wide range of travelers. For nature enthusiasts, there are fascinating sites to explore such as the Emerald Pools, hot springs and various national parks. In addition, it is a paradise for adventure-seekers as it offers climbing opportunities on its stunning limestone cliffs and trekking trails. The region also has gorgeous beaches, offering perfect relaxation spots. The waters surrounding Krabi are dotted with nearly 200 islands, great for day excursions and diving. Also, foodies will enjoy the numerous local and street food options available.

Food:Above average

Krabi offers an impressive variety of food, ranging from classic Thai cuisine to international dishes. Seafood is particularly fresh and delicious, thanks to the coastal location. There are many street food stalls where you can try out authentic Thai food like Pad Thai, mango sticky rice, tom yum soup, and much more. Vegetarian options are also available, although a little less common. However, the availability of diverse cuisines other than Thai is somewhat limited. Think about enjoying fresh fruit smoothies, coconut-based dishes, spicy curries, and flavorsome Thai iced tea. Dining in Krabi is an experience of its own.

Family travel experience

My three sons and I recently took a trip to Krabi, Thailand, and it was an incredible experience. We spent our days island hopping, exploring the stunning landscapes and crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling was a highlight, as we marveled at the vibrant marine life and colorful coral reefs. We watched the sunset, creating perfect, serene moments to end our days. The overall experience was truly wonderful and filled with joy. Not only were the activities exciting, but everything was also very affordable. We were pleasantly surprised by how cheap the prices were, allowing us to fully enjoy our trip without worrying about the cost. The local food was another delight—delicious and flavorful, making every meal a treat. The people we met were incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive vibe of our vacation. The weather is consistently good regardless the monsoon season already started, with plenty of sunshine that made our outdoor adventures even more enjoyable. All in all, our time in Krabi was unforgettable, and we left with cherished memories and a sense of happiness that will last a long time.

Family travel experience

We were in Krabi for 4days/3night in August 2022 and it’s a pretty safe place. It’s around 3hrs by drive from patong beach phuket and it cost us $80 for a private van. We stayed in a lovely 4-star hotel called Sea Seeker Krabi Resort which is around 10 mins walk to Ao Nang beach. I booked a deluxe pool access room for $125/night ehile my sister booked a deluxe cliffstone view room for $40/night. Their room rates included breakfast buffet. It’s super easy to get around Krabi. You can walk to Ao Nang beach, or take a tuktuk around. We also booked our island tours through the hotel’s reception the day we arrived, we did the whole day phi-phi island tour the next day and the half day 4-island tour the following day. Itinerary: Day 1: - We arrived around noon 1pm and they allowed us to checkin in early. Around 4pm we went to Ao Nang beach to watch the sunset and around 6pm we walked to the nearby ight market and that’s where we had our dinner. Day 2: - The tour company picked us up from our hotel around 8am for our Phi-phi island tour. When we arrived, we registered and waited for the boat to leave at 9am. By 5pm we were back to dock and they dropped us back to our hotel (btw, lunch, snacks and drinks are included) - after dinner, I went to get a 2 massage :) Day 3: - The tour company picked us up from our hotel at 8am for our 4-island tour. We were back at the hotel by 2pm (lunch and drinks are included) - In the afternoon, we enjoyed hangout at the hotel’s pool while sipping our cocktails from the pool bar. (The limestone rocks view from the pool is just amazing) Day 4: - we arranged a van from the hotel to take us to Krabi airport for our flight to Bangkok.
