Overview: car trip from Krabi to Phuket

The trip from Krabi to Phuket takes 2.5 hours by car, whisking you toward a colorful city in the Southeast of Thailand. With a private driving transfer, you can choose a direct journey or turn your travel day into an exciting sightseeing tour with optional stops en route.

Consider visiting the Tiger Cave Temple and mounting the 1237 steps it takes to reach the mountaintop for incredible panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Here, you can learn about all of the different Thai myths surrounding the temple’s founding in 1975 and discover where the “Tiger” name is thought to come from.

About Phuket

After your Krabi to Phuket transfer, you will find yourself in the heart of Thailand’s biggest island, home to a vibrant culture and unforgettable coastal scenery. This mountainous island boasts lush rainforests, pristine sandy beaches, and crystal clear waters that draw in travelers from all over the globe.

<show-more> The city center hosts traditional shophouses and markets alongside modern restaurants, bars, and energetic nightclubs nearer the resorts. Phuket is known amongst travelers for its incredible food scene and diverse range of outdoor activities, as well as the bold nightlife (though, there are still activities for the whole family!)

Phuket province actually consists of 32 smaller islands, with the island of Phuket being the largest. The tropical monsoon climate and consistently high temperatures lend the area its jungle growth and richly biodiverse ecosystems while also creating seasons of perfect sunny weather for beachgoers.

The city is largely Buddhist, an influence that’s abundantly clear in the many showstopping temples and incredible artworks throughout the city. While the area used to be economically supported by tin mining, its income now largely comes from rubber plantations and tourism. You can visit the rubber tree farms and learn more about their impact on the country and how they’ve come to make Thailand the global leader in rubber production.

The city is a bucket list destination for many travelers, given its rich history, cultural appeal, and incredible beaches. Come for the idyllic coastal environment and lush rainforests, and stay for the friendly people, cultural touchstones, and mouthwatering Thai dishes. </show-more>
