Koh Samui and Krabi are popular for their unique attractions and natural beauty. Koh Samui is known for its palm-fringed beaches, coconut groves, and luxury resorts, making it a preferred destination for relaxation and wellness retreats. Visitors often explore the Big Buddha statue and the Na Muang Waterfalls.
Krabi, on the other hand, is renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs, clear waters, and vibrant marine life. It serves as a gateway to the Phi Phi Islands and Railay Beach, ideal for rock climbing and snorkeling.
Both destinations offer a variety of dining options, with local Thai dishes and fresh seafood being highlights. Transportation includes flights to nearby airports and ferries between islands. Accommodations range from budget-friendly hostels to high-end resorts, catering to diverse traveler preferences.
Light, breathable clothing is recommended due to the tropical climate. Cotton garments, shorts, and T-shirts are suitable for daytime activities. For temple visits, wear modest clothing that covers the shoulders and knees. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can help protect against the sun.
During the rainy season (May to October), consider waterproof footwear and a light rain jacket. For dining at more upscale venues, smart casual attire is appropriate. Flip-flops or sandals are practical for beach outings. Don't forget swimwear for beach activities and water adventures.
Ao Nang is a popular area to stay, offering a range of accommodations from budget hostels to luxury resorts. It is convenient for accessing beaches, restaurants, and tour services for island hopping.
Railay Beach, accessible only by boat, provides a more secluded environment with stunning cliffs and caves, ideal for rock climbing enthusiasts.
For a quieter experience, consider Klong Muang, which hosts upscale resorts with private beaches.
Prices in Ao Nang for mid-range hotels typically range from 1,500 to 3,000 THB ($45-$90) per night. Railay Beach can be more expensive due to its remote access, with prices around 2,500 to 5,000 THB ($75-$150) per night. Klong Muang offers similar price ranges to Railay.
Ensure transportation options are considered, as some areas require boat transfers.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
