Worth stopping
- Samet Nangshe viewpoint above Phang Nga Bay (short detour, best early morning).
- Wat Suwan Kuha cave temple near Phang Nga town.
Good to know
- A stop at a viewpoint or the cave temple fits into the transfer (up to 30 minutes); a longer sightseeing day is the Phang Nga Bay day trip.
- Honest note: a pre-booked sedan on aggregator sites costs about $91 from Phuket Airport to Krabi Airport (airportstaxitransfers.com); our fixed private price is higher.
