Planning to go next week,can i get a bus to Krabi from Donsak or do i have to go from Suratthani.Also can anyone recommend a hotel /guest house with a/c for under a 1000baht per night,walking distance to bars etc.Any help appreciated.

i think you can still fly from samui to krabi on bangkok airways, but only on certain days of the week. you can take a boat/bus combo (either songserm or seatran, can't remember which) too, but be careful with your valuables on that route- do not put them under the bus as they will be stolen by the thieves that work that route. as for guesthouses, depends on where you are staying- krabi is a huge province. in krabi town i recommend good dream guesthouse.

Thanks for that,will take note re valuables(always keep them on me)...........you did n't say but do you know wether the buses go from Donsak or Suratthani?

I believe you can get a bus from the bus station in Samui to Krabi, if you drive it is only 2 hours from Donsak to Krabi
