In my opinion, Thailand’s southern region is like many of the Philippines’ beach and island destinations with their white (or golden) shores, turquoise-tinged waters, limestone formations, and tropical vibe. One of the places you can visit when you visit the country is Krabi. This area offers all that you’re looking for in a tropical escapade, from chill beaches to delicious food to accommodation across the budget spectrum to nightlife.

Getting a visa Filipino passport holders can enter Thailand for up to 30 days visa-free. Get into Krabi There are no direct flights from Manila to Krabi, you’ll have to go through a third country within Southeast Asia, or you can include it in a longer trip around Thailand. You can book a flight from Bangkok to Krabi.

If you’re on a budget, you can book an overnight bus from Bangkok through this link and take the bus back to Bangkok after your trip. Getting around Krabi You won’t have a difficult time exploring Krabi and surrounding places to visit. You can rent a motorbike to explore, prices start around Thai Baht (THB) 200-300+++ depending on the model.

You can also take public transportation, which is your budget option, but you’ll have to be patient because of the schedule they follow and the interval between rides. You can take a bus or the Songthaew (like a van). You can also hire a tuktuk to get to your destination.

Taxis and Grab are also available. If you’re booking island hopping tours, you’ll ride either a long-tai.
