willyumiii Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm planning a vacation in the south soon and would like to visit both Hua Hin and Krabi. I have been searching the internet for a boat service that goes from Hua Hin to Krabi or even Pattaya with no firm results. I appears that there was a ferry that made the trip in 3 hours, but it has gone out of business. The prospect of 10 hours on a bus or even 8 hours in a car going up to BKK and then down again, does not appeal to me at all. Does anyone know of a boat service that makes the crossing?? Even hiring a small private plane ( if reasonable) would be considered. Any advice,contacts or information would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You could do a one way Car Hire - its about a 6 hour drive. Otherwise Bangkok is your travel hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keestha Posted February 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Take a look at the map. A boat from Hua Hin to Krabi would have to go through the strait that separates Singapore from Malaysia. Apart from that, due to insurance matters, in Thailand there are only ferries to islands, not between places at the mainland.

mick01827 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hua hin to krabi is across land, I looked at doing the trip at Xmas but decided it was too much hassle, I personally didn't like krabi, very expensive, hardly any beer bars and full of muslims, I couldn't even buy beer from the local shop next door to my hotel because they didn't sell alcohol. Aonang does have some lovely beaches though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks for the help. Looks like I can not do it! Mods, please close this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepcell Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hua Hin and Pattaya are located in the gulf and Krabi is in the Andaman Sea, there are no way to do this trip by boat! In other words, it is impossible. Fly from BKK/DMK to KBV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why don't you take the train from Hua Hin to Surat Thani? It may be slow, but is an enjoyable way to see the countryside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 This is the OP. I have requested that they close this thread.

willyumiii Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 yes agree it is making you look like a goof Yes, I know that... I was thinking about both Pattaya and Krabi.... and had been looking at posts about the ferry that use to go to Pattaya and back. It would be tough dragging a boat overland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koo wallety tourist Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 perhaps this one to trang as a sleeper http://www.railway.co.th/Ticket/TrainStopStation_Time_All.asp?IdTrain=167&Leg=en then bus to krabi would be a comfortable way.

Stocky Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 They took a speedboat from Bangkok to Krabi in 'Hangover Part II' so it must be right! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post willyumiii Posted February 15, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why do they close threads when when we don't want them closed... and not close them when we request ti? All to do with web hits. The Mods are hoping that your appalling lack of geographical knowledge about Thailand will draw hords of posts and comments that pour derision on your original post... Pretty soon, this will be the hottest thread on the forum. Seriously, take the train Well, bring em on.....I deserve it. I did have a few beers this afternoon before posting this, tried to edit it and could not. The train is a good idea..thanks! ( I always wanted to start a popular thread! ) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
