Phuket or Krabi in August?
Hi,
I'm planning a short 5-day beach trip to Thailand this August and I'm torn between going to The Racha in Phuket (which will be reopening mid-August) or to Tubkaak in Krabi.
I realize the weather is not the best this time of year in either location, but I was wondering if one location would be slightly better than the other?
I'd also appreciate any other thoughts you could provide to help me with my choice.
Thanks,

I haven't been to Krabi so can't recommend 1 over the other but parts of Phuket are lovely. The only problem in the wet season is that the sea is a little rougher and unless you are staying in a resort with lifeguards on the beach you will find red flags flying.
