Phuket Krabi Travel Guide 2026 | Phi Phi Island | Complete Itinerary

Pre-Trip Essentials: Visa, Currency & Connectivity

Visa & TDAC: While Thailand frequently offers Visa-Free entry for many nationalities (like Indians), filling out the TDAC (Travel Document Authorization Certificate) form online 3 days prior is highly recommended. It saves you from massive immigration queues!
Currency (THB): Carry $100 USD bills to exchange in the city for the best rates, or bring a zero-markup Forex card. Avoid exchanging currency at the airport.
SIM Cards: Do not buy your SIM card at the airport where prices are doubled! Instead, visit any local 7-Eleven store to grab a 10-day data pack for just 400-500 Baht.

Transport: How to Get Around

To get from Phuket to Krabi, you can book a shared van (approx. ₹700-₹1,000 INR), a scenic ferry, or a private taxi. For local city exploration, renting a scooter (600-800 Baht/day) is the most budget-friendly option. In Krabi, utilize the local shared jeeps known as 'Songthaews' for just 50-100 Baht per ride.

Food & Dining Tips

Vegetarian & Jain Food: Finding purely vegetarian or Jain food is very easy in Thailand! There are numerous Indian restaurants around Ao Nang (Krabi) and Patong (Phuket), though they are slightly pricier (approx. ₹1,000-₹1,200 INR for two).
Street Food: Don't miss out on authentic Thai street food like Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, and fresh tropical fruit smoothies available at every night market.
Airbnb Cooking: If you are strictly vegetarian and on a tight budget, booking an Airbnb and carrying some ready-to-eat meals or basic spices from home is a fantastic alternative.

If you are planning to bring a drone to capture those epic island shots, be aware that drone registration with CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) is mandatory. Flying without approval is illegal!
