Best Time To Visit
The ideal time to visit Khlong Dao Beach is during the dry season, which lasts from November to April. The weather is sunny, the waters are calm, and the island’s facilities, which include excellent Krabi restaurants, are fully operational. The offseason sees fewer crowds and great hotel deals at nearby resorts, but expect occasional rain and rougher seas.
How To Get There
For those landing at Krabi airport, book a shared bus transfer via 12Go, or a ferry ride to Saladan Pier. Consider booking a stay at a beachside resort on the western coast of the island, such as Avani+ Koh Lanta, if you are adamant about spending afternoons at Khlong Dao Beach.
Where To Eat
Enjoy Khlong Dao’s many beachfront dining options. Majestic Bar offers affordable beers and views of the colourful sunsets. Jasmine Nui serves delicious Thai dishes and coconut shakes, while Koala Bar & Restaurant specialises in international cuisine and hearty breakfasts.
Fire Shows
Thailand’s infamous fire shows can be seen on the beach, lighting up the night sky once the sun sets. These captivating performances take impressive skill and are often accompanied by lively music, adding a magical touch to your beachside nights.
