  • By Speed Boat: 1.5 – 2 hours
  • By Seaplane: only 30 minutes!

Seaplane transfer = 4 x faster!

Phuket to Krabi:

  • By Car: 2 hours 45 minutes

Thai Seaplane will bypass the need for tiring land or sea transfers we have had to put up with after arriving at Phuket International Airport following a lengthy flight. By the end of 2024, they will be offering pick-up services in Phuket so travellers can easily transition from their arrival at Phuket Airport straight onto a seaplane flight to their chosen destination. Reach out to them directly to find out more.
