Krabi to Phi Phi to Koh Lanta Hello All Sorry if this is a daft question. First time to Thailand. We're flying into Krabi Airport & will be staying on Koh Lanta. Is it possible to get the boat/ferry/speedboat to do a quick tour around Phi Phi on the way to Koh Lanta? If it helps my wife does speak Thai (*American born but hasn't been there since she was young)* so we could negotiate a deal, if needed. I just wanted to know if it was logistically possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Phuket to Krabi ferry? I'm looking for a way to get from north of Phuket (airport area) to Krabi. Having difficulty finding a ferry. Anybody done a similar route?

Green Ocean / Green Planet offers a speed boat service that runs between Phuket and Ao Nang, takes approx 1.5 hrs. Busses or taxis can connect you to Krabi from there. This is the fastest way to get across. However, if travelling with more than two people, it might be cheaper to charter a minibus.
