Hoping to book up soon for the beging of July for 4 nights bangkok and 8 nights at a beach resort.
Was thinking of either Krabi, or Phuket staying in Karon Beach, instead of Patong.
We like somewhere where we can get busy or quite with a variety of things to do day and night.
Not sure what the weather will be at this time of year, don't mind showers if we still gat sun.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks
Any further questions- just fire away!
How much rain on a daily basis would you expect in Krabi/Phuket , Koh Samui looks lovely but friend have just been and would prefer to go some where else.
Hope that makes sense thanks
http://www.alexmalcolm.net/. Hes got some reports on weather for the past few years. Looks like you might expect rain on half the days in July though these might just be a shower.
In Krabi a restauranteur I spoke to said they closed down during the low season (inc. July). However it might not be so bad in a livlier resort such as Ao Nang. I would expect the Phuket resorts of Patong, Karon and Kata to be reasonalbly lively. I gather sea conditions at this time of year can be quite rough.

I would certainly have been to Krabi before now if the weather was better then.
Ko Samet is one of the dryest islands and only 3/4 hours from Bangkok. Train or bus to Ban Phe (sp) and boat for half hour.
Have you been there? Would love to hear some info on it.
Went about 5 years ago. Not a resort type of island mostly small family run places. Lots of info on Lonely Planet especially in the "stickies" at the top of the page. Thai familes head there from Bangkok for a break at weekends so that's when it can get rather busy. Nice white beaches and great for up to a week, after that it may be tooooo quiet.
I go to Bophut in KS because I am not keen on Chaweng which is def a resort. Koh Samet may be worth researching a bit more. Thanks Chris
