I Need Advice From My Cnx Friends

[westbounder]

Hi,

I live here in Chiang Mai and starting next week I will be spending a week at my favorite place in Phuket.

After leaving Phuket I want to go to Krabi then Samui.

I want to know to know the best and easiest way to go to Krabi from Phuket and I also want to know what area I should stay in Krabi. (I want a quiet area that have accomadations available for no more than 1,200 per night). It does not have to be near the beach.

I also need to know the best and easiest way to go from Krabi to Samui.

Thank you kindly

Guess more chance on the Pukeket forum ??

Or having more trust in foreigners in Chiangmai ?

Hire yer self a jeep and drive to Krabi. About 2.0 hours.

Get a regular bus / mini bus from Phuket to Krabi. Maybe a few minutes longer.

No advice on accommodation 'sorry'

Boat from Krabi to Phuket. 2 hours. Tickets available at all travel agencies.

Once in Krabi it's nicest to stay on one of the islands. Lanta perhaps. There are boats from Phuket, or you can take a bus from Phuket town to Krabi and then connect. (That's more hassle obviously). I'm betting there are minivans run by travel agents as well.

( Who needs friends when you have Google? )

Yeah back in the day I used to use tourist agent minivans a lot down south. A Phuket to Samui trip included pick up at the island ferry terminal and transfer to a Lamai Beach hotel.

A little bit more expensive than public buses but hassle free.
