Phuket to Krabi

From Phuket to Krabi via Phang Nga Bay is a drive along probably the most scenic and attractive costal region in Asia.

Driving from Phuket to Krabi opens up some great panoramas of limestone hills densely covered with jungle and all kind of creepers along the limestone boulder.

Behind is the famous Phang Nga Bay with a surrealistic water world, beaches and mangrove forests.

During the last 10 years Krabi Thailand became a very popular travel and "green" destination. A feast for the eyes, places to relax, beaches, jungle, rock climbing, excellent food, good and very good Krabi hotels for all sizes of wallets, spa's, friendly people but the prices are high compared with other tourist spots in southern Thailand, on many items and services up to 3 times the prices they ask in Phuket.

There are basically 2 possibilities to travel from Phuket to Krabi probably during your holiday or vacation in Phuket. One is to use the road from Phuket to Krabi via Phang Nga and Ao Luk, the other is to use the ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi Island stay there for a day or more and take a other ferry, probably a speedboat from Phi Phi to the Krabi coast. There is no direct ferry boat or ship service between Krabi and Phuket. On the water it goes through Ko Phi Phi Don.

The later possibility is not on all the time. This Phuket to Krabi sea trip via
Ko Phi Phi Don is mainly offered during high season from November to April.

Krabi to Phi Phi Don boat service leaves daily at 10.30 am. Phuket to Phi Phi daily at 8.30 am and 13.30 pm. This can change and on top of it there are several other big ferries and speedboats on the same route for different prices and different times.

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. When you travel from Phuket to Krabi you could also take the bus, it will take about 3 hours. The Phuket to Krabi bus leaves at down town Phuket bus terminal opposite the Royal Phuket hotel. There are no flight between Phuket and Krabi.

Leaving Phuket for Krabi needs a drive over the Sarasin Bridge.

The Sarasin bridge connects Phuket Island to mainland Thailand, in the case to Phang Nga Province and famous Phang Nga Bay.

The bridge has its own

environ.

Fish trawler have their base around and the Sarasin bridge itself is a popular spot for angler. They are around day and night to bath their worms.

The waterway under the bridge is used by boats and ships for the marinas on the east coast of Phuket, like the Yacht Haven Marina. Which can be seen on the misty horizon.

For the Phuket to Krabi trip via Phi Phi go to Phuket - Phi Phi ferry harbor as mentioned before, at the end of Rasada Road in Phuket Town and ask, but ask at least 3 different parties, maybe 2 travel agents and one ship operator, they are all there in the morning before 8 am. The reason is only if 3 tell the same you can roughly be certain its true, this is also very necessary when you buy the ticket for the ferry. Most of the people simply don't know, don't care and they tell you what they guess you want to her.

The Rasada pier Phuket is usually very busy in the morning, most ships and speedboats are leaving between 8 - 9 am. If you would like to go to a other destination, also maybe more close to Phuket island a alternative would be to go to Rawai beach and use a speedboat or longtail boat there.

For big ships the Phuket deep sea port is used, right before Cape Panwa.

Phang Nga Bay is a success story by itself, emerging to the limelight via the James Bond Movie, the Man with the Golden Colt and a run afterwards to secure the benefits. Phang Nga Bay is actually a incredible piece of water world and unbelievable limestone formations including underwater limestone caves.

The hongs or limestone atolls of Phang Nga Bay, Krabi Archipelago and Trang Islands are legend, a absolute highlight of any Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi vacation, plus naturally the Island world of the Trang Archipelago, probably the best kept secret in southern Thailand.

There are almost no tourist and travelers in the Trang Archipelago, except some Thai vacationers.

Actually its very popular among Thai guys to visit this place in the Andaman Sea with a new girl friend or second wife and have some fun.

Bizarre limestone and jungle formations at Krabi
Bizarre limestone and jungle formations at Krabi
If you approach Krabi from Phuket via Phang Nga (highway 4) you will experience a pleasant surprise, a few kilometers after passing Phang Nga you cruise right through dense jungle.

Creeping up those limestone formations around at this area is a carpet of dense green to function as a habitat for many insects, small animals (the bigger ones are already gone), birds, flowers and plants.

In the last couple of years the people between Phuket to Krabi southern Thailand got more conscious about their bizarre limestone and jungle formations environment and don't exploit them for quick money anymore, it paid off somehow.

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.

Behind Ao Luk several roads branch off to the right into the great mangrove forests on the fringe of Phang Nga Bay. Great places with several Thailand caves, and a great Thai cave tour a video is here.

One thing you should keep in mind Phang Nga has nothing to do with Koh Phangan. Phang Nga is a Thai province between the gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea and Koh Phangan is a island off Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand.

Krabi travel leads you to great beaches like Ao Nang's Railay Beach a very spectacular setting of limestone formations and a real spectacular beach.

Many people make the mistake to mix that up and ask for the Phang Nga full moon party, there are no full moon parties at Phang Nga.

There are a couple of Krabi markets around with colorful vegetables and exotic fruits plus seafood of all kind.

Accommodation are right on the Krabi and Phang Nga beach side. Krabi hotels on the Krabi island and the coastal waters, plenty of Krabi beach resorts are around in Krabi Thailand.

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.
