I just came back from Krabi....i went there on 20 apr for 3 days 2 nite. If i'm not mistaken frm May onwards till Oct is low seasons at there because it was the moonsoon. I'm staying at Ao Nang as recommanded by 1 of my friend that use to go there because he like snorkelling. Ao nang is one of the most famous island for tourist and from there we get a local ground trip to 5 island (inlcuded HONG Island, Chicken island and cant remember for another 3 island) and it only cost 870baht. I'm staying in Verendah budgeted hotel from 20th apr till 23 Apr and the total cost is abt RM150 for 3 days. Remember to bargin when ever you wan to buy things from them, because i have been success to bargin from 400bath to 250bath to buy a clothes for my mum.
You may surf some website for online booking hotel because believe can get cheaper rates and due to the low seasons frm May to Oct, the hotel rate is even cheaper.
So no worried with a budget of RM1K for this trip, i'm believe it should be more then enough unless you are a holistic shopper.hehehehe....
Enjoy your trip and remember 2 most important things
1) Bring sunblock and apply every 3-5 hrs to avoid sunburn, as the time i went there are super hot.
*In case you have having sunburn, try to go aloe vela massage aft sunburn because it really helps and works. Aloe vela able to cooling your skin.
2) Bargin before buying or you may visit others shops before decided to buy as you may get same items but cheaper price at others shop.
I'm not a good photographer but would like to share some photos that i have taken at there. Hope you dont mind my bad skills.

Planning to go Krabi as well this coming July/August. Haven't book my air ticket yet though. My concern is that whether krabi is going to rain frequently during this period (Like 4 days out of a week something like that). Cause i check from Thailand tourism website that this period is actually a rainy season for Krabi (May - December). Anyone had been there during this period who can share with us. If it gonna rain everyday , then it will be pointless to go there...
As for thing to do, i heard rock climbing is very popular in Krabi. (Outdoor rock climbing where you can enjoy magnificent view at the top). Should try that on.
