Cheapest time to fly to Krabi

October and November are your golden months for cheap flights to Krabi. You're looking at Thailand's green season here, which means way fewer tourists, lower prices all round, and heaps of sunshine between the odd tropical shower. Accommodation's cheaper, beaches are quieter, and everything just feels more relaxed.

Steer clear of June if you can swing it. That's peak season when prices skyrocket thanks to Aussie school holidays. Your wallet will thank you for booking those shoulder months instead.

Passport and visa requirements when flying to Krabi

Here's the good bit: you can rock up to Thailand and get a visa exemption for 60 days on arrival. Just make sure your passport's valid for more than 6 months before you land. 

You'll need to fill out a Thailand Digital Arrival Card within three days before your flight. It's free through the Thailand Immigration Bureau website, but watch out for dodgy sites trying to charge you for it. Need an E-Visa for a longer stay? Apply through the Official Thai E-Visa website before you leave Australia.
