The best period to get married in Krabi
Being dry and sunny from November to April, this period is ideal for an outdoor wedding with clear cerulean skies. May to October tends to have rain, but you can still plan to have the nuptials happen with a romantic setting and a memorable after-wedding function as frequently done at Krabi weddings.
Whilst sunny and dry months are ideal consider that there will be more crowds around and accommodation and other prices tend to be higher due to the peak period. The highest peak months happen to be February and March with clear and bright skies and calm waters.
Whichever period you choose, remember that Krabi provides a distinct beauty and atmosphere for the occasion. Whether there are crowds of other visitors around or not with good planning your wedding will indeed be a memorable one.
Select the ideal beach setting
Having chosen Krabi as your wedding location gives you varied options with outstanding beach locations. Uninhabited Bamboo Island, the long-stretched Noppharat Thara Beach, the famous Railay Beach and Lanta Island with coral reefs are a few of the noteworthy beach locations in Krabi for your special day.
When selecting the beach consider the setting it offers such as limestone cliffs rising majestically off shimmering waters or lush greenery. It is also important to bear in mind the number of people on your guest list, how much privacy and space you require and what after-nuptial activities or events you plan for your intimate friends and family on this special occasion away from home for all of you.
Use the value additions offered by Krabi Resorts
Resorts such as Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort offer an array of beachside venues with beautiful settings and the soothing sound of waves in the background and having their staff attend to all the details like the wedding cake, food, décor and marriage license etc. This helps you to relax while the wedding ceremony unfolds impeccably.
Another factor to consider is guest accommodation. The comfort of your special guests can be taken care of by discussing special rates for the number of guests you are inviting so that you demonstrate consideration towards your guests and the resort would be happy to discuss a win-win arrangement.
Just as much as the wedding is special for both of you, the close friends and family who attend this special occasion would love to cherish the memories of this event. When you work with a resort there are options provided on a complimentary basis which you can leverage to make this a happy and memorable event for your guests too. They would throw in their specialities such as spa packages, special guest packs and even curated excursions in these wedding packages.
A Romantic honeymoon and other activities
Krabi has an abundance of gorgeous resorts, bustling markets, lively bars and serene temples to tempt the newly wedded couple as well as members of the wedding party. It can be a fun-filled excursion for the whole wedding party covering attractions of your choice or a romantic rendezvous for the couple separately with a lively excursion planned for the wedding party.

How to Get Around in Koh Lanta – Explore a Captivating Thai Island
Koh Lanta, a beautiful island located off southern Thailand’s Andaman Coast will always be a delightful destination for the holidayer. In addition to its well-known lovely beaches and diving opportunities, this destination offers spectacular scenery and other captivating natural features. Koh Lanta would be more popular amongst tourists looking for a less party-oriented experience and more seclusion. Described below are the main options for getting around this island.

By tuk-tuk and taxi
The main available form of public transportation in Koh Lanta would be travelling by tuk-tuk. You will find tuk-tuks at most accessible locations on the island either by the roadside waiting for customers or travelling on the roads. However, there may be some far-flung places on the island where tuk-tuks may not be very easy to find. It would be better to secure a legally operating tuk-tuk; to find one, you should check whether the driver is wearing a numbered vest. Drivers sporting these vests would be registered and will possess a price sheet printed with the standard fares; it may otherwise be possible to negotiate a fare before you board a tuk-tuk. You will also find regular taxis in Koh Lanta which would provide relatively comfortable transport.
By songthaew and motorbike taxi
You will also be able to get around Koh Lanta on songthaews. Songthaews happen to be modified pickup trucks fitted with seating for passengers. You could board a songthaew simply by waiting for one to arrive and waving it down.
Another popular means of travel in Koh Lanta would be using motorcycle taxis, many of which would be fitted with sidecars. You will find that these motorcycle taxis would even take you on unpaved roads, but you shouldn’t expect to travel rapidly on them. You should generally arrive at a price before getting onto one of these vehicles.
By car
You will also have the opportunity to hire a vehicle and travel independently in Koh Lanta. You could avail yourself of a four-wheel-drive pickup truck which would be suitable for the conditions and terrain of the island. You will also have the option of renting a smaller vehicle for a lower cost. However, it would be prudent to first ascertain whether the vehicle you are renting is insured. If you prefer not to drive after you land, however, some resorts in Krabi including properties such as Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort provide convenient private transfer services as well.
By rented tuk-tuk
You will find that you could also rent a tuk-tuk on a daily, weekly or monthly basis for your travels in Koh Lanta. Renting a tuk-tuk would be a cost-effective substitute for hiring a car; however, there will naturally be a somewhat greater element of danger when riding a tuk-tuk. That said, if you take due care and drive your tuk-tuk prudently, you may be able to explore Koh Lanta without undue problems; just be sure to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary risks.
By scooter or motorbike
A very popular mode of transport for tourists in Koh Lanta would be by renting a scooter or motorcycle. Travelling in this way would provide you with independence whilst also being a cost-effective means to get about. Naturally, you must take care to ride conservatively with caution uppermost in your mind.
In Koh Lanta, you will have the opportunity to rent either a manual or automatic motorbike; an automatic would be a better choice for inexperienced riders. Before renting a motorcycle, you should check whether it has any scratches or other kinds of damage. You will be able to obtain gasoline at local gas stations or minimarts. Additionally, you should always take care to don a helmet for safety; you could also be fined by the police if you fail to do so. When riding your scooter or motorcycle, be vigilant too regarding other motorists, pedestrians and animals.
