Me and my wife started our journey from ko Samui to Krabi which is almost 260km and took almost 5Hrs. I will tell you the easiest and cheapest way to reach Krabi. We went to Ko Samui ferry point (Lomprayah Samui Maenam). I had booked the ticket earlier from ko Samui to Krabi which was around 1600rs including all transportation. We started our journey from ko Samui at 12 Noon. First we travelled by a ferry about 2Hrs, then we shifted to a bus which took us to Krabi town. Then a small van took us to our hotel. We reached by 5pm in the evening to our hotel. (Apple A Day Resort)

In the evening we room the city and purchase magnet, some beautiful clothes from the market.

After 1hr of staying and having some photography we move to Tup island. It's a exotic tropical island ideal for easy snorkeling and exploring on foot. If the tide is low you can walk along the white ,Sandy causeway joining the neighbouring island.

After spending time over there we moved to chicken island. It's Natural landmark named after the shape of it's unique limestone rock jutting out into the sea. There is no place to get down in the beach. You can only travel around the island and view the chicken island.
