Krabi to Phuket Destination Reviews

Krabi to Phuket, Bus VIP Minibus, Minibus 1996 (Minibus 1996), Sep 6, 2026

When we arrived in Krabi, the bus driver did not drop us off at the designated bus station. Instead, he dropped us off in front of a taxi booking office, which was probably about 4 minutes away from the actual bus station. It seemed that this was done so that we would take a taxi from that office. On our return trip to Phuket, one of the bus staff members made us sit in the last seats of the bus, even though we were among the first passengers to arrive. There were cardboard boxes placed under my friend’s feet, which forced him to keep his feet on top of the boxes for around 3 hours or more. When we arrived at the bus station in Phuket, we booked a taxi through Bolt. However, when the driver arrived, one of the people at the station told him to leave. As a result, we had to walk with our luggage to get to the driver we had booked ourselves.

Where is the nicest part of Phuket?

The nicest areas of Phuket depend on traveler preferences, but Patong Beach is famous for nightlife and activities, while Kata Beach and Karon Beach offer quieter environments suitable for families. Old Phuket Town, rich in Sino-Portuguese architecture, provides a cultural and historical experience with its colorful buildings, markets, and temples. Surin Beach is ideal for luxury seekers with upscale resorts and dining. Phang Nga Bay offers picturesque limestone karsts and turquoise waters, making it a must-see for nature lovers.

Is it okay to drink tap water in Phuket?

Drinking tap water in Phuket is not recommended due to concerns over its safety and potential contamination. Most locals and tourists rely on bottled water, which is affordable and widely available.

Boiling tap water can also improve safety, but for peace of mind, rely on commercially purified sources.

Can you drink alcohol in Phuket?

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Krabi and Phuket, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
