Koh Krabey Tips You Must Know
* Book your hotel 3 to 4 months in advance for the best deals, especially if you're planning to visit during the high season (November to February). Avoid booking last-minute during holidays like Khmer New Year in April, as prices may surge.
* The peak tourist season is from November to February due to pleasant weather, while the off-season from May to October offers lower prices but expect rain. Consider visiting during early November for good weather and better deals.
* To get to Koh Krabey, take a speedboat from Sihanoukville (around $25-$30 per person). Once there, most resorts include private transportation or shuttles, so confirm this with your hotel during booking.
* Save money by dining at local markets and eateries, where meals can cost as little as $3-$5. Use tuk-tuks or shared rides for transportation, which are more economical and usually cost $1-$2 per km.
* While Koh Krabey is generally safe, avoid traveling alone to secluded areas at night. Stick to well-lit paths and let your resort staff know if you plan to explore the island after dark.
