Frequently Asked Questions

Questions, doubts? Here are our Frequently Asked Questions created especially from your questions about the following categories: How to travel in Thailand ?, How to travel with Amon Tour?, Our agency in Krabi.

How to travel to Thailand?

What about Krabi in low season?

From May to October, there are risks of very localized tropical storms. The climate is cloudy and more humid but there is no Monsoon phenomenon. It rains a few hours a day for 2 to 3 days, more generally in the evening, then we have 3 to 4 days without rain. June and September are often the rainiest months. The months of July and August are particularly mild.

The annual average temperature is 30 degrees in the air and in the water!

In case of storm or storm during our activities in Krabi, we inform you at the latest the day before and the services are refunded. Note, however, that we can not be held responsible for the weather, especially in the tropics with a very changeable climate. Note that the hotels offer beautiful discounts at this time.

Should we apply for Visa in advance?

To enter Thai territory, you need a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Thai territory and a sufficient amount of money for the trip.

When you arrive at the airport, you will need complete a visa waiver request by indicating your identity, the reason for your visit as well as the address of your place of stay (which we will communicate to you beforehand).

Nationals of France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada can benefit from a visa waiver for Thailand provided that their stay does not exceed 30 days. This visa-free visa can be extended for an additional 1 month in an immigration service (around € 50) without leaving the country.

Should we make vaccinations?

No official vaccine obligation is required. The Thai authorities do not require the presentation of an international vaccination card when entering the country or when applying for a visa.

The best known viruses or communicable diseases (yellow fever, avian flu, H1N1 flu, zika, dengue, international) are not not subject to the obligation of vaccines.

If no vaccine is compulsory, many vaccinations are recommended as in most countries of the world:

- It is essential to be up to date with vaccination against hepatitis A and against typhoid fever.
- Make sure your universal vaccinations are done: DTCP et Hepatitis B.
- Updating of diphtheria-tetanus-poliomyelitis vaccines is recommended.
- The vaccine against rage is also advised as a precaution. Stay away from stray animals as a precaution.

For any further information, do not hesitate to contact the French Ministry of Health.

Our tip for plane tickets

We offer a reservation service for your international and domestic flights in Thailand. However, if you prefer to book them, we recommend the site liligo.fr and in private browsing to avoid price variations due to clicks.

What to put in these suitcases?

In the tropics the sun is shining very strongly, we obviously advise you to bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Please note that during activities at sea, we strongly recommend that you wear an anti UV t-shirt in order to benefit from total protection.

It is also better to take a pair of water resistant shoes, an extra backpack for your excursion days and finally enough to cover you during your trips by public transport, often over-air-conditioned.

Travel light, you'll want to bring back memories! Avoid traveling with valuables / clothing, it would be a shame to take stress on vacation 😉

What would be the average daily budget to provide on site?

The budget is always a delicate question and answer, specific to each one of course. For information, it is possible to eat for 2 € (approx. 70Baht) in the street stalls of Ao Nang or in the markets. There are many European restaurants (mostly Italian in the region) from 4 euros per pizza for example. Tuk tuk all have posted prices that are difficult to negotiate. Finally, the cocktails start at alentours of 3-4 euros (they are excellent at the Typsi Bar, run by our French friend Lucie!), beer is around 1 €.

Is it customary to tip drivers, guides and different actors?

In Thailand (as in France), service charges are included in the price. On the other hand, if you appreciated the quality of the services, you can obviously leave a tip. To give you an idea: a transfer: 50Baht, a daily guide: 200 / 500Baht, a restaurant: 10% of the bill.

Is it possible to include the islands of Koh Lanta or Koh Lipe in our stay?

We do not offer these destinations because we do not have partners on site that meet our criteria. In addition, these destinations have become very touristic and we do not know them well enough to claim to receive you there. On the other hand, it is possible for us to include transfers to these destinations and leave you a free program.

We prefer to limit the number of destinations in order to offer a better quality of service.

What is the starting point of our excursions?

Our excursions are all from Krabi: Krabi city, Ao Nang, Railay, Klong Mueang, Tubkeak, Thalane. We do not operate from Koh Lanta, Phuket or Koh Phi Phi. However, we can organize a stay in Krabi including transfers from Phuket.  

Could we leave early on our tours to avoid the crowds?

Leaving early is not a guarantee of peace. Indeed, you will not be alone at best for an hour then you will be caught up by the crowd of touristic.

Our tours at sea start and end late. We are usually the last to return to port. Thanks to his experience, your guide will avoid too many places touristic by favoring small quiet beaches. Note that from 15 p.m., you will be practically alone on the water since the boats of other companies leave for the port. National park beaches close at 17 p.m.

Why the route of tours is not precisely described when booking?

Our experiences being private (or in small groups) the service is ultra personalized, the itineraries are discussed every morning in consultation with the guides, crews, driver and adjusted during the day according to you and the chosen environment. Our teams know how to adapt to all conditions. VSt is the best way to avoid the crowds.
