Phuket to Krabi

The best is for Phuket to Krabi take a motor bike taxi in Phuket Town and go to Rasada pier and ask, don't start walking, its to far out. As a alternative go to Pure car rental in Phuket town at Rasada Road and buy the ferry ticket there, they also might supply transportation to the pier and they have all ferries in the program. The positive catch is they do it for, you don't have any problems and very important ! they don't cheat. They also have all the usual Phuket tour and travel programs on offer, plus hotels, and low price villa and houses in Phuket down town, all new. etc.

After this ferry information you will find now a trip description how to go from Phuket to Krabi, this could be easily done via a day trip to Krabi from Phuket since the time for Krabi to Phuket by road is only about 2 hours, but take some more time, its worth it.

Along the excellent road from Phuket - Phang Nga to Krabi very tall

jungle trees stand out from the thick undergrowth. 

The main highway from Phuket to Phang Nga and Krabi is changing between a good 2 lane and a excellent 4 lane highway prone to very bad accidents because of the extreme bends.

Between Phang Nga and Krabi the main highway is currently upgraded -middle of 2008- between Phang Nga and Krabi to 4 lanes.

This will add a lot of safety for the traveler between Phuket and Krabi since as usual no one cares about traffic rules and terrible accidents are the result.

If you come from Bangkok to Krabi its the same situation.

Along Ao Nang Railay Beach east and west are plenty of  Beach Hotels like Railay beach resort, Railay bay resort, Railay beach club and plenty of bungalows and cottages on and near the beach.

Ao Nang and Krabi limestone formations are somehow bizarre and surrealistic, Salvatore Dali could have formed them and unique.

Krabi and the Railay beach area -east and west- have a reputation for great Thailand vacation. You also could do rock climbing, its for sure the right place to have a good time.

You also could do just a Krabi and Railay day trip out of Phuket with the car. Just rent a car for a day, at Phuket Pure Rent a Car for Baht 1000,- and up.

You could also do it with a motor bike for Baht 150,- rental a day, but the distance from Phuket is more than 200,- km, you would need at lest 2 days and road travel is very dangerous in Thailand.

You can reach Ao Nang by not driving the direction to Trang -to the left- when you enter the Krabi area, but just keep on going straight, the turn to Ao Nang is coming after the sign to the Kings Palace.

Ao Nang and Railay Beach are the most spectacular Krabi Thailand tourism destination in the whole Krabi province.

A feast for the eyes and real unique, you wont find anything like this again, not in China and not in Vietnam, both have their own great limestone panoramas.

All major Krabi Hotels, Krabi Bungalows, Krabi Villas, Krabi Beach Resorts are around that area.

Krabi weather is very similar to Phuket weather, sunshine from November to May and rain in between.

But even if there is rain in Krabi, Phuket or Phang Nga, there is hardly more than 2 days of not having the sun out, that means its still better as in most places in the Mediterranean area, in particular when you consider that the cost's of a great Phuket and / or Krabi vacation or holiday is still a fraction what you would spend on a vacation in Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey and so on.

I don't start to talk about France, the European champion in pushing up prices. I am always puzzled when I hear that France and Italy a still a prime vacation destination, with this level of money pulling, I would never go there again.

It is one of the very positive in Thailand that the country is still affordable because almost everything is low priced. Just imagine you buy a ham sandwich somewhere at the Cote Azur in France or further south in Italy. They ask for 5 -10 Euro for it, in Thailand you get a complete excellent dinner including some beer for this and so on.
