[meepok5532]

Looking at scenery and activities plus if which air carrier is better.
Perhaps any advice on the weather as well? Thanks!

weather is really hard to tell, however nov is already end of monsoon season so weather should be good. Be prepare to pay higher price for most activities , hotels too..

Thanks for your suggestions! Can't drive... but my companion can. Hahaha. In any case, I heard from friends that phuket is kinda over rated and a bit too commercialised, unlike krabi which is more peaceful.

She stayed at phuket & had to take a 3 hrs boat ride to the islands nearby. If the weather ain't good, the boat wouldn't set off. Is Nov-Dec the rainy season?

Or should I just head to BKK for safer option?

Depends on what you are looking for, as what other has said, phuket is more lively with more activities whereby krabi is entirely for relaxation. However, if you love water, the phi phi island in krabi is your best bet. I have been there for their 4 islands tour, fantastic! Try their long tail boat package

I personally preferred krabi too coz it's more laidback, relaxing- I found phuket to be too commercialized, but then it depends also what u want to do.

For islands tour, i 2nd krabi!

phuket too many ppl and more ex, krabi jus nearby and cheaper too.

i'm kinda confused, Phi Phi island is accessible from Phuket or Krabi? i been to both before, but i remember doing it from Krabi only. Am i wrong?

 

[jonchong]

can be accessed from both, it's in the middle (somewhat).

Nice! That's what I have been told by my friends as well. Hahaha.
Any tips on whats good to buy/eat/see?

actually in phuket, other then patong is kinda crowded, the rest of the beaches are not so like karon, kata…

At least when bored still can head to patong for some entertainment..
Krabi is simple… well still got for relaxation

Air ticket is cheaper to krabi compare to phuket. But expenses there is not. Food is rather more x in krabi and not so nice as they are mostly halal and cooked by thai muslim
