💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

📱 Mobile Data & eSIM: Get data for Krabi with PikaSim - 0.5GB for 7 days costs $0.80 (other options: 0.1GB/7d for $0.60, 0.5GB/1d for $1.00). Privacy-focused, no account needed, instant activation. Get yours at https://pikasim.com/download-thailand-esim-packages
Visa & Entry for Poland citizens: Polish passport holders can enter Thailand visa-free for up to 30 days (by air) or 15 days (by land). Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. You may need to show proof of onward travel (flight out of Thailand within 30 days) and proof of accommodation. No pre-arrival forms or ETA required as of 2024, though immigration forms are completed on arrival. Consider applying for a 60-day tourist visa at Thai embassy in Poland if staying longer. Check current requirements at https://www.thaiembassy.pl before departure.
Get around by longtail boat between Ao Nang and Railay Beach (150-200 THB). Railay has no road access, so boats are the only way. Last boats leave around 6 PM, so plan accordingly or you'll need to stay overnight.
Download Grab app for rides around Krabi Town and Ao Nang. Cheaper and more reliable than negotiating with tuk-tuk drivers. Motorbike taxis (red vests) are fastest for short distances but negotiate price first.
Best time to visit is November-March (dry season). April-May is scorching hot. June-October is monsoon season with afternoon rain, but fewer tourists and better prices. Seas can be rough during monsoon.
Ao Nang is the social hub with most hostels, nightlife, and restaurants. Stay here for easy socializing. Railay is more chill and adventurous but isolated. Krabi Town is authentic local life but less tourist infrastructure.
Join group tours or rock climbing sessions to meet other solo travelers. Hostels organize pub crawls and island tours. The climbing scene is very social—even beginners are welcome at Railay Beach crags.
Thai SIM cards (AIS or TrueMove) cost 200-300 THB at 7-Eleven with good data packages. Essential for Grab, Google Maps, and staying connected. Airport SIM cards are convenient but slightly pricier. Coverage is excellent in tourist areas.
