About this experience
Enjoy an island-hopping adventure to 7 beautiful islands near Krabi on a long tail boat tour. Visit a variety of picturesque islands and enjoy a tasty buffet dinner as you watch the magical sunset on Koh Poda.
Start the 7 island sunset tour with pickup from your hotel in Krabi, or at one of several meeting points in the area. Depart by traditional longtail boat from Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang, with a short stopover at Railay Beach to pick up fellow travelers.
Continue to Koh Yawasam and dive into a paradise of large shallow gardens of coral surrounded by flat sandy areas. Cruise around the chicken-shaped rock at Koh Kai. Enjoy an excellent photo opportunity at this oddly-shaped natural landmark.
The next stop is at Koh Tub for some beach time or (at low tide) a walk across the spectacular sandbank that connects it to Chicken and Mor Islands nearby. Swim in the crystal-clear water at Koh Tan Ming, a small rock islet in front of Koh Poda.
After plenty of exertion and activity, you will then enjoy a delicious buffet dinner right on the beach of Koh Poda as the sun goes down. Our menu offers a variety of choices including chicken with cashew nuts, fried chicken, a mixed vegetable stir-fry, or vegetarian-friendly spaghetti with tomato sauce, all served with rice, plus fresh fruit and your choice of Pepsi or drinking water.
Complete the evening with a short swim amidst the bio-luminescent plankton in the surrounding ocean of Koe Raeng before returning to the pier in Ao Nang.

Indian passport holders currently enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand for tourism for stays of up to 30 days. You must hold a passport with at least six months validity from your arrival date, confirmed return flight tickets departing within 30 days, proof of accommodation (hotel bookings), and sufficient financial funds (at least 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family, which can be shown in cash or international card statements). In addition, all foreign visitors arriving in Thailand by air, sea, or land must complete the mandatory Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online at tdac.immigration.go.th within 72 hours before arrival.
The cool and dry season from November to February is the best time to visit most of Thailand, with pleasant temperatures, lower humidity, and clear skies ideal for sightseeing in Bangkok and trekking in the north. March to May is the hot season, best for beach holidays on the Andaman coast, though northern Thailand (Chiang Mai) can suffer poor air quality from burning season. The rainy season from June to October is ideal for budget travelers, with shorter rain bursts and significantly lower accommodation prices. Note that the Gulf of Thailand coast (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan) has its heavy monsoon from October to December, which is the opposite of the Andaman Coast (Phuket, Krabi).
The official currency is the Thai Baht (THB). Cash is essential for street food, local markets, tuk-tuks, and smaller vendors. Credit cards are accepted at hotels, shopping malls, and upscale restaurants. It is advisable to exchange currency at authorised bank booths in cities rather than at airports, where rates are less favourable. The TAGTHAi wallet app provides a tourist-friendly cashless payment option at many attractions and participating venues. ATMs are widely available but typically charge international withdrawal fees.
Thailand is a deeply Buddhist country. Dress modestly at temples, with shoulders and knees covered, and remove shoes before entering. Never point your feet at a Buddha image or monk as feet are considered the lowest part of the body. It is illegal and deeply offensive to make critical comments about the Thai Royal Family (lese-majeste laws carry serious criminal penalties including imprisonment). Respect monks in public; women should not touch monks or hand items directly to them. Maintain calm and polite behaviour in all situations, as raising your voice or showing anger is considered highly inappropriate.
Thailand is generally safe for tourists and receives tens of millions of international visitors annually. Common concerns include drink spiking in tourist nightlife areas (accept drinks only from sealed bottles), gem and tuk-tuk scams targeting newcomers in Bangkok (avoid any unsolicited offers to take you to gem shops or special deals), and bag snatching. Exercise care when swimming, particularly on the Andaman coast during monsoon season when riptides can be dangerous at unsupervised beaches.
Key destinations include Bangkok (the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Chatuchak Weekend Market, and the vibrant street food scene), Chiang Mai (ancient walled city, Doi Suthep temple, night bazaar, and elephant sanctuary experiences), Chiang Rai (the White Temple, Blue Temple, and the Golden Triangle), and beach destinations on Phuket, Koh Samui, Koh Lanta, Koh Tao, Koh Phi Phi, and Koh Kood. Ayutthaya, the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam, is a UNESCO World Heritage site accessible as a day trip from Bangkok.
Thai cuisine is internationally renowned for its balance of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter flavours. Must-try dishes include Pad Thai (stir-fried rice noodles with egg, tofu, and peanuts), Tom Yum Goong (hot and sour prawn soup), Green and Red Curry with coconut milk, Som Tum (green papaya salad), Massaman Curry (rich and mild southern curry), Khao Soi (northern coconut curry noodle soup, a Chiang Mai speciality), and Mango Sticky Rice (seasonal dessert). Street food markets, night bazaars, and floating markets offer the most authentic and affordable dining experiences.
Thai is the official language. English is widely spoken in tourist areas of Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and popular island resorts, particularly in hotels, restaurants, and tour operations. In rural areas and smaller towns, English proficiency is less common. Learning a few Thai words like Sawasdee (Hello), Khop Khun (Thank you), and knowing how to say the destination you want is appreciated by locals.
Songkran is the Thai New Year water festival celebrated nationally from 13 to 15 April, though festivities continue for longer in some cities. It involves large-scale public water fights with buckets, water guns, and hoses in streets, markets, and public areas. Songkran is one of Thailand's most joyful festivals and a hugely popular experience for international visitors. However, it is also the busiest and most expensive travel period of the year. If visiting during Songkran, plan to get thoroughly drenched, protect your electronics with waterproof bags, and book accommodation and transport well in advance.
Elephant encounters are one of Thailand's most popular experiences, but standards vary greatly between operators. Ethical sanctuaries do not offer elephant riding, circus performances, or direct shows. Instead, they allow visitors to walk alongside elephants, observe feeding, and learn about elephant welfare and conservation in a more naturalistic setting. The Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai and similar accredited sanctuaries are well-regarded by wildlife welfare organisations. Research operators carefully and choose those that clearly prioritise elephant wellbeing over entertainment.
Use mosquito repellent, particularly in the evenings and in forested or rural areas, to protect against dengue fever (which has no preventive vaccine). For trekking or extended rural stays, consult a travel health clinic about malaria prophylaxis for specific border regions. Drink only bottled or filtered water. Be cautious with raw or undercooked street food. A rabies pre-exposure vaccination is recommended if you plan to be in rural areas, handle animals, or go trekking. Travel insurance covering medical evacuation is strongly advised.
Travel insurance is not a formal entry requirement for Thailand but is very strongly recommended. Private medical facilities in Bangkok and tourist areas are excellent, but costs for serious treatment or medical evacuation can be very high without coverage. A policy covering hospitalisation, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation, and adventure activities (if relevant, including scuba diving or rock climbing) is advisable.
Tap water in Thailand is not considered safe to drink directly from the tap. While metropolitan water authority processing meets quality standards, distribution pipes and rooftop storage tanks can introduce bacteria. Always consume bottled, boiled, or reverse-osmosis filtered water. Ice in reputable restaurants and bars is produced by commercial ice factories using purified water and is safe to consume.
Thailand operates a dedicated Tourist Police force reachable at 1155 nationwide, with English-speaking officers trained to assist foreign visitors with disputes, safety, and guidance. General emergency lines are 191 for Police, 1669 for Medical Emergencies and Ambulance, and 199 for Fire. The Tourist Police app is also available for smartphone assistance.
Thailand re-regulated cannabis in 2025 to restrict its use strictly to medical, wellness, and health purposes under certified practitioner supervision. Recreational smoking of cannabis in public spaces is strictly illegal and carries heavy fines and potential detention. Travelers cannot export cannabis products out of Thailand under any circumstances.
To drive a car or scooter legally in Thailand, you must hold a valid domestic driving license from your home country plus a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) with motorcycle endorsement for scooters. Driving without a helmet or IDP results in police fines and invalidates your travel insurance. Traffic drives on the left. Due to high accident rates, renting scooters is recommended only for experienced riders.
Thailand uses wall outlets compatible with Type A (two flat pins), Type B (three-pin grounded), and Type C (two round pins) operating on 220 volts at 50 Hz. Most hotel sockets are universal and accommodate US flat two-prong and European round two-prong plugs without requiring an adapter.
Tipping is not traditional in Thailand, but has become common in tourist destinations. At restaurants, upscale establishments often add a 10 percent service charge plus 7 percent VAT. At casual dining spots, leaving 20 to 50 THB in change is appreciated. Tipping traditional Thai massage therapists (50 to 100 THB) and private tour drivers is customary.
Common scams include tuk-tuk drivers or friendly strangers claiming major temples like the Grand Palace are closed for a Buddhist holiday, then offering to take you to gem stores or tailor shops. Always verify opening hours directly at temple gates. Never purchase gems from unsolicited street recommendations. In metered taxis, insist the driver turns on the meter before departing, or use the Grab app for fixed pricing.
