Summer vacation will soon be here. Plan on taking the family south to the beaches. How long does it take to drive from Hua Hin to Krabi? Any "must see" points of interest on the way?

Somewhere from sunrise to about noon depending on where you are going. I'd say the places to see are Krabi if this is your first trip. Forget about everything in between and get down so you have a good portion of the day to settle in and then enjoy some of the most beautiful ocean geography that you will ever see. Generally you will have to boat to a place to enjoy what Krabi has to offer and there are many boat taxis and charters avaioable at reasonable or fixed prices (also extremely reasonable). After you have been once then start to think about sidetrips on the way down or on the way back but I highly recommend just driving down as fast as possible and enjoying what Krabi has to offer. After doing that you can cut across just below Chumpon and go over to the Andaman Sea side and see Khao Lak and the coast on that side and also take a daytrip in Phang Gna to the mangove swamps. Enjoy
