Drone photo & video in Krabi
In short
Drone photo & video in Krabi — from $249. 60 min on location with a vetted local drone pilot; you receive 20 edited photos + 30–60-second aerial clip, plus the edited photos. The price is agreed before you book and does not move.
Why book a drone photo & video in Krabi?
From the air Krabi is limestone, turquoise water and sand that comes and goes with the tide. The sandbar between Koh Tup and Koh Kai surfaces only for a few hours either side of low water, so the date and time come from the tide table, not the other way round. It lies inside a national park, where drones need park permission, and we arrange that rather than assume it. Early mornings in the dry season bring the calmest water of the year; from May to October island trips are cancelled on rough days, and we keep a land-based plan in reserve.
The hour matters more than the location. For Railay West Beach, the window to aim for is the last hour and a half before sunset. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than your diary: between ten and four the tropical sun is almost overhead, and timing is the one variable that genuinely changes the result.
What does the session in Krabi look like?
The flight is planned in advance: take-off point, height and where the sun will be. We usually start at Railay West Beach, then Phra Nang Cave Beach where flying is permitted; where it is not, we pick the nearest place that is and tell you before you book.
