🇹🇭 Krabi Day Tours: Online vs. Offline Booking?
🔄 How Booking Actually Works 1️⃣ All sellers (online/offline) are just AGENTS – they forward orders to the same tour operators. 2️⃣ Price differences? Depends on the agent’s markup (not the tour quality). 💰 Price Myth: Offline ≠ Always Cheaper My finding: Offline quotes matched online (no "50% off" magic). Haggling wins? Maybe ~100฿ savings, but requires: Visiting *10+ shops*. Strong bargaining skills (in English/Thai). Online perks: Chinese客服 for real-time updates (e.g., if pickup is late). Transparent pricing (no surprise markups). 📱 Online Hack: Compare Platforms! Ctrip > Fliggy (same tours, lower prices – I cried seeing my group’s Ctrip rates 😭). ✅ When to Book Offline? You enjoy haggling & have time to spare. Need last-minute slots (some boats have walk-in space). #KrabiTips #TravelSmart #NoScams
