The province of Krabi, located in Southern Thailand bordering the Andaman Sea, has so many of its many attractions on the coast that ferries are the ideal way to get around. Possibly the most popular beach is near Ao Nang Port, which connects the residents to the famous island of Phuket, as well as Phi Phi and the Lanta Islands. The port area is particularly busy during the summer months, with tourists flocking from all over the globe to relax on the sunny beaches and admire the breath-taking views. The pulling power of Krabi belongs in its national parks; there are several scattered across the island, each of them boasting spectacular views, adventurous walking trails and some are even home to well-known diving areas. For those that love to put on their hiking boots it is the perfect destination. In the evening, most of the cities lying in the province possess myriad of bars and restaurants full of tourists enjoying the warm weather. Navigating around is relatively simple, there are regular bus services operating in the area and endless taxis dotted about, though it is recommended to agree a price before entering. Most people will speak English and be happy to help, however, some more rural areas will be purely Thai speaking so carrying a translation book may be beneficial. The ferry routes to neighbouring islands and parts of Thailand are relatively long, taking at least five hours and sometimes lasting up to nine depending on the weather conditions. Due to the lengthy sailings it could be worthwhile taking the earliest possible opportunity to make the crossing.
Koh Phi Phi consists of six smaller islands, with the port located on the largest and only inhabited island of Ko Phi Phi Don. The island group, known as the Ko Phi Phi archipelago, forms part of Thailand and is renowned for being the home to an abundance of beautiful white sand beaches next to limestone cliffs. Some film fans may know some of the shores of the islands from the film ‘The Beach’. Unsurprisingly, the island group’s incredible aesthetics have prompted the tag ‘Darling of the Andaman Coast’ and has become a haven for travellers looking to explore the isles of exotic lands. Infamous for the all night parties filled with travellers and backpackers from all over the globe – those looking for a fun filled holiday ensure they head to Koh Phi Phi. The largest island of Koh Phi Phi Don is practically two islands joined together by a narrow stretch of land. The port is located at Ao Ton Sai which is found near the peninsula; it is littered with souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and is nearly always incredibly busy. This area of the island isn’t particularly picturesque, so visitors may be best served heading to the beautiful eastern coast as soon as they step off the boat. Crossings depart from the port several times per day, heading to the nearby islands and the Thailand mainland. Due to the close proximity of the islands, sailings are relatively short and cross rugged landscapes and endless seas making for a pleasant journey.
