ORIGINAL POSTERHi all thinking of popping over to phi phi from Manchester for a week- anyone there able to say how the weather is? Also is the visa on arrival/ e visa thing for brits available again? Many thanks in advance!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on the current weather conditions in Phi Phi Islands for travelers from the UK, indicating that it is the rainy season with intermittent downpours. Users note that while there may be rain, conditions can improve after storms. Regarding visa options, UK citizens can take advantage of the Visa Exemption upon arrival, although this differs from a Visa on Arrival. Overall, while the weather may be unpredictable, travelers are encouraged to check local forecasts and consider diving activities despite the rain.

As a UK citizen you are given a Visa Exemption on arrival.
Not to be confused with a Visa on Arrival. 🙂
