Hi guys, I am planning a Thailand trip for 5 friends (25–30) from 1–11 Oct 2026 from India. My girlfriend and I reach Bangkok on 1st evening, the other 3 reach BKK early on 3rd, and after that we’ll stay together.

Current plan:

Bangkok: 1–4 Oct
4 Oct night: overnight train south
Krabi: 5–7 Oct
Phuket: 7–11 Oct

We like beaches, food, nightlife, adventure and scenic places, and want to keep it comfortable but not luxury.

Does this route and night split make sense for early October weather? Also, are Asok, Ao Nang and Patong the best areas to stay, or would you change anything? Please help a brother out with all your suggestions and reccos

hello krabi people, hope you all doing well. i just arrived at krabi and i was wondering of i can find any anime figures shop or video games shop here.
and to be exact im staying at the hotel Sugar marina.
Thanks alot.

Hello people I’m a solo traveller and I’m looking for a reasonable and safe hotel in Ao Nang in November. Can anyone suggest hotels that are safe, clean and not very expensive (my budget per night is 1500-1700 thb).
I’m using platforms like agoda, wego, etc to look for hotels but almost all the hotels that are of budgeted category have mixed or bad reviews.
I need to show booking for visa so the help and guidance would be so so appreciated 🙏🏼

Fairly self explanatory. We live here and are searching for the best sushi restaurant for when we get the craving. Anyone have a good experience besides Fuji?

Hey everyone just moved to krabi from Denmark 🇩🇰 with my wife and 4 kids, home schooling, live in our own place and working remotely as a freelance software engineer. We are simple and don’t need much, so we like it here.

Any Nordic/English speaking families want to meet up?

We are Muslim, just so you don’t waste time if that bothers you for some reason.

Anyway have a nice one guys.

Hi,

I booked my flight tickets to Thailand during Sept end week (26th Sept - 2nd Oct).

Arrival at Bangkok and depart from Phuket. It's gonna be monsoon and I don't know what would be the best things to do around that time. We are a group of 5-6 bachelors.

Any suggestions would help. Thanks !!

Hi all!
I need to get my day 14 rabies vaccine tomorrow in Krabi, and I was wondering where is the cheapest place to get this done?

I’ve contacted DoctorNow and they’ve quoted me 2,300 Baht which seems ridiculous. Aonang Medical Clinic doesn’t stock the vaccine I need (Verorab).

There is also the hospital and other clinics however I cannot contact them as I only have WhatsApp. I could ask my current hotel if they could call for me though,

Thanks in advance!! 🙏🙏

UPDATE: I went to the Krabi Hospital, I waited for just over an hour, everyone was really friendly, paid 770 THB altogether 😊 the facilities were fine, and for me, worth the price difference. Thanks everyone for your help!

I am a very good driver and love riding on scooters. The only issue is I have planned Thailand trip on immediate basis so couldn’t applied for IDP. Are there any cops checks done in this route? Please don’t worry about my driving skills I drive safely and have local licence, I just don’t have IDP. Just worried about the cops.
Please advice.

I am in Ao Nang, I was traveling with a friend but since she left ( 4 days ago ) I didn't leave the house.

I would love to go out a bit and maybe do some activities like spending the day in Railey beach...

Not looking for dating, but would love to meet!

(Not for dating purposes) I'm a local here and there is nearby festival going on, I get off work at 8 pm so I have to plan around that, the festival is gone by 19th.

Id love people to talk about places and give recommendations to even if we can't hang out!

Hi All,

I will be visiting Bangkok and Krabi in November.
Would appreciate some suggestions on hotels under 8-9k INR (3000 baht)

Thanks in advance.

Me and my girlfriend will be spending 2 weeks in Koh Lanta in October, during which we want to stay at various hotels so we can experience the best Koh Lanta has to offer.

We were looking for some hotel recommendations, money isn’t really an issue

Hi everyone, i need your help. I'm going to the Thailand on December. It's my first time that's why it's hard to organize all information that I've founded on the websites and facebook forums.

I have the arrival flight to Bangkok 12.12., the departue flight from Phuket 29.12.

My first plan is showing as:

12.12 - 14.12 2 nights in Bangkok

14.12 - 15.12 night train to Suran Thani and then to Khao Sok

15.12 - 17.12 2 night - Khao Sok: jungle and lake trip next day

17.12 - 18.12 1 night Khao Lak

18.12 - 19.12 1 night Trip to Surin Island with a night

19.12 - 20.12 1 night Khao Lak with Similan Island tour, back in the evenning

20.12 - 25.12 4 night Ao nang as a central point do further trips like Emerald Pool, Dragon cave, railay beach etc.

25.12 - 26.12 1 night Phi Phi

26,.12 - 29.12 3 night Phuket and come back home

but then someone told me that better option is to get from Bangkok to Krabi by flight, stay Ao Nang first and move to nothern part - khao sok, khao lak and phuket as a final point with airport without seeing southern of island. This guy claims this option is better even if I would choose to night train.

My disclaimes:

1. I've been thinking about night train, because it seems like fun. But I don't have to choose it.
2. I don't have a need to visiting Phuket, because a lot of comments make me not fancy of that. But my departure is there. When I was booking my flight, I hadn't enough knowledge, yes, my bad :(
3. We don't have a scooter license.
4. As a couple, we always travel with backpacks – we don't like all-inclusive travel, we plan each vacation ourselves.

I will be grateful for your help!

I've never seen rain this heavy. I've lived here for 15+ years(born in Thailand) and this is a LOT of rain.

Coming for a tour on 18th august to bangkok n krabi. Worried about the weather right now. I could see videos of torrential rains everywhere in thailand. Will it be all day or how is it

Any recs for adult swimming lessons in Krabi? I'm currently in Ao Nang.

I've seen Fins Swimmers (Koh Lanta) and Varana Hotel's Olympic pool mentioned, but would love local input.

Looking for:

· Beginner-friendly

· group

· Contact info / rough prices

Thanks!

Hello!

Im having a bit of trouble booking the last part of my trip in Thailand which will be focused on Krabi Provence

This is my first time in S.E.A

I see that renting a scooter is not advisable so I want to be close to the bucket list things without wasting many hours

Im 50 so No thank you to the tourist party traps and party screen but, yes, I would like to meet other people (I guess the best thing here is to book group activities)

It is the top part of Krabi that Im having a difficult time navigating ( pang na bay area, and tiger temple) while trying to avoid Ao Nang

Questions......

Where do you book group activities, like cooking classes, historical tours?

I would like to do boat tours, mangroves and tiger temple, where would be the best place to plop myself? (Under $40 us) but its more about a convenient location

Is it better to stay inland near the temples and hot springs or (ko thalane) as long as tours are accessible ???

Or stay near ko noppassarat?

I will be staying on ko Lanta, so I will take a boat tours there

Or possibly do boat tours from Phuket? (yes, you read that correctly lol) but the Pang na side not the Karon beach side

I hope that all made sense-- Im going in blind!😆😆😆
