Krabi Travel Forum

Hi all, we are planning a trip in May 2009 and are planning on staying in Krabi for a bit and then going to Koh Lanta. I heard that the ferry is not running at that time and wondered what other options are there to get to Koh Lanta. We were quoted 3,000 baht to get to the resort is this reasonable (that is for four people) and how long does it take to drive there? any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a boat from Krabi at 10.30 am, minibus is cheaper probably faster.

Last december (high season) the cheapest bungalow (on longbeach, dont remember the name) for 2 was 400 baht

I agreee with Lotharscheer, Much cheaper and probably a lot faster to take a bus or mini bus, may even be a lot more comfortable considering the time of year that you are planning on going. May can be a bit rough on the ocean with the monsoon rains coming in. You wouldn't even need one of the delux buses, shouldn't take you more than 2 hours at the most to get there and shouldn't cost you more than 100B each for the trip. Ride with the locals, it can be a fun experience! The people will be friendly and helpful.
Have fun!
