I am counting down the five weeks 'til I arrive in HH for a 3 week vacation. For the middle week, I want to take a look down Phuket way to see Krabi and Phi-Phi islands and just do the normal tourist-traveller things, hopefully avoiding getting ripped-off....
Can anyone advise as to the best transport option HH to Krabi - bus/train ? And any "must-see" places or for that matter "must avoid" tourist traps ?!!
Knowledge is power........
Sabai, sabai.
HH to Krabi/Phi-Phi area
You can get to Krabi/Phuket from Hua Hin by overnight bus that leaves from the clocktower at around 10.30. Cost is around 350 baht. Or you can take a tourist "VIP" bus that you book in any travel agent, this bus costs double and takes a lot longer. You can also fly to Phuket direct from Hua Hin for around 3,000 baht.
Places to go: Ao Nang (Krabi) fantastic beaches (ao pra-nang, koh poda, railey), seafood, a great chill out place.
Kata beach (Phuket) a little quieter and a better beach than Patong, all depends what you're after. Koh phi phi is well developed and over touristy now but still worth a day trip from Krabi or Phuket.
Hope this helps (thread moved to On the Road)
