davejonesbkk Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Im planning on going to Phi Phi and was planning on taking the 10.40 am flight to Krabi that arrives at 12pm (Air Asia) and then go to the pier and take the ferry at 2.30 pm to Phi Phi. My gf says that we should fly to Phuket as Krabi airport is far from the Krabi pier. I just had a look at a map of Phuket and the airport is on the north side of the island but the pier to Phi Phi is right at the other end in the south east. So which is closest to its respective pier? Has anybody taken this flight to Krabi and then made it to the pier ok? Please help me settle this little dispute!

pumpuiman Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Krabi has an airport? I've been away too long. Last time I went, you landed in Phuket and took a shuttle to Krabi...long drive. Perhaps this is what your girlfriend is thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Time wise, it would be quicker to drive from Krabi airport to the pier than Phuket airport to the pier. Traffic, distance, and all. 2 hours of waiting at the pier seems a little excessive though. Good luck! JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonniebkk Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 after you complete all airport formalities and are in the cab...it would take about 45 minutes to get to the Chalong Pier in Phuket (assuming you boat/ferry is leaving from there). hopefully someone has time for trip from Krabi airport to Krabi pier...I seem to recall drive from airport to Ao Nang Krabi at about 20-30 mins but its been a few years so I could be wrong.

onzestan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Definitely Krabi. Not only shorter distance, cheaper taxi's too. Plenty of time. Ferry to PhiPhi about same duration as from Phuket. cheers onzestan Edited January 30, 2008 by onzestan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florin Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Another vote for Krabi, did it a few months ago via Ao Nang. Very civilized conditions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenivan Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So why are you going to Phi Phi? It is just a harbour where hundreds of tourists arrive every 10 minute. You cannot find a decent beach but maybe 50 restaurants, 30 diveshops and another 200 shops for diverse. After 2 hours you want to take the boat to another place asap. Go somewhere else! Anything is better than Phi Phi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is better than Phi Phi! That's completely not true!! If you're stupid enough to stay right next to the pier and not expect lots of noise and people, tough luck! There are many other beaches, such as Laem Thong, which are STUNNING. Overpriced hotels & restaurants, yes...but the beaches are well worth it, imo.

billp Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Drive time from Krabi Airport to the new ferry terminal outside town is ca 20 minutes. So you'll have plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejonesbkk Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Ok thanks everyone! I've heard that Phi Phi can be quite busy but I promised the gf we would go there and she will sulk like an eight year old if I dont take her. Another thing, I need internet whilst I'm there to check my work emails, I'd prefer wireless so I found this place http://www.phiphivillaresort.com/index.htm but 3k a night is a tad pricey for me anyone know another place with wireless?
