Krabi is gorgeous and very laid back. You can get to many of the Thai Islands in under an hour from the Klong Jilad Pier.
Weather
November through April is the best time to visit with an average temperature of 82° F. March to October is considered rainy season.
Getting There
The Krabi airport is not international, but you can easily get to it through Chiang Mai and Bangkok as well as many other cities in Thailand.
Recommendations
Krabi is not only a gateway to getting to the other islands, but a destination itself. If you like to rock climb or scuba dive, this is an amazing spot for both.
