If you want to visit one of these two southern destinations on your trip to Thailand but don't have time for both, read on. The truth is that both destinations are equally beautiful and whichever one you choose you will fall in love with the paradisiacal beaches and the beauty of the natural environment that surrounds them. There are other factors to consider when choosing between the two destinations. For example, if in addition to beaches and relaxation you are looking for other activities and leisure options, Phuket is ideal, as it has a greater variety of options and tourist attractions, such as its beautiful Old Town. However, if you're more concerned about the budget, Krabi generally wins on this front.
