bino Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I've got some friends from home visiting in Phuket, and want to meet up with them in Krabi. I'll fly there from BKK, but what can I suggest for them to get to Krabi / Ao Nang area from Bang Tao, and back again after a few days? Is there any bus or car service that anyone can recommend? They are apprehensive travelers- looking for something safe, sane and reliable. No yaba fueled minivans, and they are too nervous to rent a car and drive themselves. Thanks in advance.

madmitch Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Get the boat. Book it at a local agent. Generally cheaper than doing it yourself or booking online plus someone to ring if the pickup doesn't arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I did it by scooter a few times. 3 hours but dangerous as hell. Boat is half that time and much more relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogan Koori Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ferry to Ao Nang 1000 baht including minivan pick up about 7 am Leaves from Rattsada Pier around 8. Be aware. Rattsada has the most expensive beer in Phuket. So if you are fanging for a few cans at that time of the morning do a BYO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bino Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks to all for the suggestions- I had completely forgotten about the ferry service. That will probably be the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogan Koori Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) It's from Bang Tao. So that's further from say Rawaii. Ao Nang travel is the name of the company. Just checked the price. It's 700. I must have been thinking the other ferry to Lanta Edited January 28, 2015 by Bogan Koori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
