Thank you very much Erik! Your video is very organized, very informative, knowledgeable, structured and great mapping and good to know the comparable prices! I will check out all your videos!
love the 3D rendering, makes it so clear. Its actually the best video style I have seen on YT. Can you please cover more of Krabi and Phuket and also help us know how to take transport there.
Visited this area for 3 days in February. Wonderful time! Elephant sanctuaries, private boating trip, fine dining on waterfront, bicycles, and amazing breakfast at hotel daily.
Thank you so much for sharing beautiful places in Krabi. I am a Thai but I have never visited those amazing places. I really hope I can go there soon.😉😀😄
If your drone has a camera you need a permit from both the CAAT and NBTC. Its a bit of a hassel, but I did it. I am sure a lot of tourists fly without a permit, but you risk fines. Some good information here:drone-traveller.com/drone-laws-thailand/
This is how a travel vlog should be. After watching a ton of videos stumbled upon this which actually helps in planning my trip. Thanks and please keep making videos. :)
Rarely leave any feedback, my now I have to. Great, and informative video. Were going as a group of 6 in a week, and this gave great ideas what to do. Thankyou and keep this same style up!
"Thank you so much for the video on Ao Nang in Krabi! It brought back so many memories for me. Watching it felt like I was reliving those beautiful moments all over again. Your video captured the essence of Ao Nang perfectly, and I appreciate the effort you put into sharing these experiences with us. Looking forward to more nostalgic journeys with your channel! 🌴🌅"
Hi Erik, I have travel Ao Nang Beach, together with the four island hopping on a long tail boat in December 2018. I was stayed in Ao Nang area. Your video is super entertaining from start till the end. Very details, with geography local mapping the locations you have visited. One of the most informative video I have ever seen with edited arrows, highlighted moving dotted line to the locations. Admiring your video editing skill, excellent travel guide. I am also a TH-camr. But, my videos can never come close to your video editing skill. Please share more video. Enjoy your traveling the world. Looking forward for more videos, Subscribed.
THANK YOU!! I was going through dozens of Krabi Travel videos and I found an actually useful one, this! Please keep some click-baity title to make the TH-cam algorithm to it's thing.
My skeptical about krabi which i think there are many tourist, and the only attraction which were beaches gone away after watching your video. There is hidden gem there..Very informative, interesting and useful tour guide, thank you. ❤🙏👍😁
That was quite a nice video about the local Krabi area. There are special night time wildlife tours (night safari) in Krabi that is starting to become better known. I hope you do that one next time you visit! Do something outside the ordinary. ;)
I agree with a lot of comments here that this is the most organized Video regarding Krabi! You answered also one key thing if Grab is available in Krabi / Ao nang! Thank you soo much!
This is the best video i have seen so far. Did you ever visit the four island? I am debating staying in Ao nang or Krabi, definitely don't want the Phuket crowds.
Thanks! No I didn't have time to visit the 4 islands. I heard that the Hong Island tour was the best so I went for that one. Would recommend staying in Ao Nang rather than Krabi Town. And yes, Phuket is not what it used to be.
Technical lvl of this video was top notch, so pleasant to watch, im going to Ao Nang in early June for 2 weeks, hoping for a nice time there for sure, i heard Koh Samui has better weather at that time, but idk i want to see these nearby islands so much
Thanks! Yes, have been to Ko Samui in July and the weather there is fine at that time. Might be some more showers in Ao Nang in June, but you will probably still have a great time.
Great video, what time of year were you there? Also, I'm not critizing but it seems that you have filmed in some profile and not colorgraded, looks very grey.
Thanks! I was there in November. Normally I do not color grade my videos, but the clips from my drone and my GoPro has been converted to HDR by using the HDR tool in FCPX, so maybe that's what you are noticing. All else should be native HDR from my iPhone.
I actually preferred Krabi over Phuket personally. I loved West Railey Beach but Phra Nang is stunning although East Railey beach isn't the best. Tiger Cave Temple was fun especially having to climb over 1250 steps fighting with heat, humidity, and bad monkeys!! I did the 4-Island Tour, Railey, Hong Island Tour and Phi Phi Island Tour from Ao Nang
Thanks! I would stay within walking distance from the beach road in Ao Nang. Always nice to be close to home after you have been out to dinner or a beer at night.
Thanks 😊! I mostly used my iPhone 14 Pro, and sometimes a GoPro Hero 8 Black. The drone shots are from a DjI Mini 3 Pro. Everything shot in 4K. Basically, if you have a recent smartphone you don't really need any other photo equipment to make nice videos these days 😊.
Hi Erik, Thank you for the video - very informative. Could you please advise re Drone Pilot license, which one do you have and was it asked by any locals? Also question re Honk Island boat tour, if we stay at the Railay beach, would it be possible for us to get to this tour and back from it back to the hotel at Railay, could you please recommend?
Hi, In Thailand you need a permit from both the CAAT and the NBTC to fly a drone. You also need insurance. The insurance company FEIC can help you with everything for a price, but you can also do it on your own. Nobody actually asked me for the permit, but at the Island I asked myself, and then he looked at my permit. Yes you can stay at Railay. The tours pick up people from there.
Hi Erik, great video, please give me more information (in details) how to obtain permit for flying by drone in National Parks - when I look for maps I see that all Ao Nang area is a National Park and there are many prohibition sign „no drone”. I know how to get documents (CAAT and NBTC) but is it enough to use a drone on the islands in the area? I found info that in mid-2023 the low was changed and you can fly a drone in National Parks after obtaining permission - but how does it look in practice? I would be grateful for any information. Adam
Great video, thanks for sharing. I noted the drone shots when you were at Dragon Crest. What are the Thai regulations regarding the use of camera drones?
As long as your drone has a camera you need a permit from both the CAAT and the NBTC. You can do most of it online, but the final permit from NBTC you get after sending a photo of your entry stamp into Thailand and after that, paying a small fee. It´s a bit of a hassle, but I did it. I have a DJI Mini 3 Pro.
Great video and great edition!! Congrats from Portugal!! Another question about long tail boats, i will stay in Ao Nang but i needed to know if it is possible to return later from Railey Beach, the boats run after midnight? Thank you for your help!!! Keep going for great job !
Hi, thanks! I did not try to return to Ao Nang after the period for fixed price expires (18:00), but I have heard that you need to bargain for a private long tail after 18:00 and it will be much more expensive. I think you just need to go down to the beach and ask around for anyone that are driving after midnight and make a deal with them there.
Great travel guide! Thank you so much for highlighting the distance and the ways to get to your destinations, it's so helpful! Your video about trip to Ayutthaya really helped us to make our trip there easier. I have a little question about the drone shooting on Hong island. Did you already have CAAT, NTBC and FEIC certificates by the moment of your visit and they still didn't let you to fly your drone? What kind of special permission for national parks did you mention?
Thanks! 😊 Yes, I already had my FEIC insurance and the CAAT/NTBC permits, but in order to fly in the national parks you need an additional permit. I didn't know about this beforehand so I am not quite sure how to get such a permit. On that one island my tour guide talked to the island keeper for me and he allowed it.
Thank you for your reply! I'll try to study this question beforehead. We were in the similar situation twice. In Angtong national park our tour guide told us that flying drone is prohibited but we still went to one of the island keepers and filled the application which we had to take to the park head office on another island. Thankfully, visiting that main island also was in an agenda of our tour. And right after signing the application we were allowed to fly in the whole national park. And in Sam Roi Yod national park we also filled the same form at the tickets office and were allowed to fly in specific zones and a specific time period.@@erikssc
Hi I really appreciate your detailed video it has been the best that i have seen so far in around 20 different person. Thank You very much for the detailed video!. I was wondering how can you know if in a particular area you can fly your drone (as in if its a national park vs not) is there a map? also what are the steps to be able to fly the drone in the national park?
Thanks, generally it is not allowed to fly in the national parks, even with a normal Thai permit. I am afraid I am not sure how to apply to fly in the parks. I just got permission from the keeper at that one island to fly there. I think all the islands there are national parks. Ask your hotel about where the other national parks are. God luck!
Even if you miss your own boat you came over on,I think their is at least 2 different boat operators,as long as you have your ticket,you can use a different boat as long it’s from the same operator,I was their nov 22.
No, sorry. They did have a folder with tours that I browsed through, but I don't remember the other prices I am afraid. You can probably just give them a call and ask them.
Very nice video, hope you will have many good travels in the future. Was it difficult to get a drone permission?, How long did it take and how much does it cost? Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks! If your drone has a camera you need a permit from both the CAAT and NBTC. Most of it can be done online, but you need a few documents including several photos of the drone. They answer quite quickly. It only cost about 250 baht, but that must be paid in Thailand after arrival and after you have sent them your entry stamp. Its a bit of a hassel, but its doable. I am sure a lot of tourists fly without a permit, but you risk fines. Some good information here:drone-traveller.com/drone-laws-thailand/
This was very helpful! I’m currently in Phuket and going to Krabi tomorrow! Question about the long tail boats. When youre returning back to Ao Nang, do you get on the same long tail boat? Or do you pick another one? Thank you!
Hi Chris, glad it was helpful. About the long tail boats at Railay. When you go back to Ao Nang it is not the same boat. There are some people organising the boats on the beach in front of all the long tails. Just show your ticket to one of them and they will show you which boat is the next one. Maybe you have to wait a few minutes until there are enough people to fill up a boat, but normally not for long.
Finally someone that understands how to make a useful travel guide
Wow, thanks! Appreciate your feedback 😊
This is absolutely the BEST most organized and detailed video I’ve seen of so nang, I’ll be there in oct. thanks so much!!!

@@erikssc what do you need to fly drone? I have drone I want to bring with me for personal use. But not sure if I need flight license or anything?

Thailand is the paradise and second home for all visitor !!!
I was surprised how well organized those boat trips were and how easy it is to use boats for transportation
Yes, it's very well organized. Guess it must be since the only way to get to Riley Beach is with a boat.

Thanks! Maybe we were there at the same time 😊.

I don’t like steps or hills but I love this place. Can also get a good feed for cheap up the hill.
Yes some of the places needs a bit of effort to reach, but the more rewarding.😊
I actually preferred Krabi over Phuket personally. I loved West Railey Beach but Phra Nang is stunning although East Railey beach isn't the best. Tiger Cave Temple was fun especially having to climb over 1250 steps fighting with heat, humidity, and bad monkeys!!
I did the 4-Island Tour, Railey, Hong Island Tour and Phi Phi Island Tour from Ao Nang
How much did the Phi Phi Island tour cost from Ao Nang?
@@samuelroper3049 It cost me less than £30 but it was over 3 years ago
Great Video - wish I found this after watching so much junk!! 10/10. If you went for 3 nights - where would you stay ?
Thanks! I would stay within walking distance from the beach road in Ao Nang. Always nice to be close to home after you have been out to dinner or a beer at night.
@@erikssc Cheers - thinking of Railay Phutawan Resort
Great informative video. Thank you. Can I ask what tool you used for your map please
Thanks! I use Google Earth Pro for the maps. Great free tool, and Google allow you to use it in your TH-cam videos.

Before 6 PM you can use the same ticket for different boats with a fixed price. After 6 PM you need to charter a boat and there is no fixed price.
Could you recall if the other tour prices(set by the Panan Krabi Hotel) such as Phi Phi Island tour are similar to the Hong Island Tour
No, sorry. They did have a folder with tours that I browsed through, but I don't remember the other prices I am afraid. You can probably just give them a call and ask them.
Great video thanks so much
We are staying at Panan in August, what room number do you recommend for the best seaview room?
Hi, thanks! I don't remember the room numbers exactly, but as high up as possible in the building facing the sea will be good.
