Questions travellers ask

How many days are enough for Krabi?

Most travellers spend 2 to 3 nights in Krabi. Add a day if you want both an island trip and a show without rushing.

Do Indians need a visa for Thailand?

Thailand has offered visa-free entry or visa on arrival to Indian passport holders in recent years, but the rules change. Check the latest rule on the Royal Thai Embassy or Thai e-Visa website before you fly, and fill in the online Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) shortly before arrival.

Which currency should I carry?

The Thai Baht (THB). Carry some Baht or US dollars for small expenses; cards and UPI-linked apps are accepted in many shops, but street stalls, boats and markets want cash.

Is vegetarian and Jain food available?

Yes. Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket have many Indian restaurants with vegetarian and Jain menus. Tell us your food needs and we add meals to your tours.

Any local tips for Krabi?

Island trips depend on tides and weather; keep sunscreen, a hat and water shoes handy.
