In Topic: Krabi Itinerary Suggestions Please

If you are based in Ao Nang, chill on the Ralley beach, take longtail boats out for snorkelling/swimming, you can do rock climbing if you're into that,  explore Ralley beach, etc.  Plently to do in 3 days.

Recommended day trip via speed boat would be to Phi Phi for more swimming and snorkelling.  There is probably a slower boat to Emerald cave, another day trip.  Lanta might be worth exploring though I've never been there so can't say one thing or another about it.

That should just about eat up a week?  If not then I'm sure you can get more suggestions from your hotel concierge.

What I meant was that Sing Air owns both Silk Air and a majority of Tiger.  

We're going SilkAir, though I would guess the flight cancellation problem for Tiger isn't so bad now running up into the peak season.

Yeah, the tickets on silkair are running around $500 each.
However, I just do not want to run the risk of getting my fuse lit in some way by tiger.  Given my past experience, I'd give it a high probability.  

Singapore air wins either way we go.

Best,

Actually, I've learned that the Krabi-Sing leg has been cancelled at various times.  Friends of mine had their "daily" flight cancelled for three days in a row and never got a refund, ended up driving to Phuket and buying another set of tickets on a premium carrier.

At the end of the day, it would have been far better to have gone directly to Phuket and driven down and back.

That's worse than bus service...sorry to throw cold water on the idea.

Than why don't you take Tiger Airways with daily flights Singapore to Krabi ? Sometimes as low as for SGD 10 plus tax one way.

I get the low cost ticket price, but you pay for what you get -- a ride in a cattle car.  I'd rather pay a premium than allow the Tiger flight attendants, ground staff, and pilots stick their fingers in my eye.  Part owner is Ryanair just and Tiger was recently shown to have had among the largest number of customer complaints of all the discounters operating out of Singapore.  Ryanair was also recently looking into selling standing room tickets.  Thnks, but no thanks....

Actually, I thought u were talking Sing to Phuket.  Will check out SIng to Krabi even if it might involve the problems mentioned above.
