Flights
Flying is
the fastest and often the most expensive way to travel from Bangkok to Phang Nga, but with a bit of luck you can score very good deals for as little as
PHP 2,571.
Things to remember: Note that some of the airlines may have restrictions on checked luggage weight or require paying extra for check-in, choosing seats or transportation of oversized luggage.
If opting for a flight, calculate the time you will spend getting to and from the airports as well as the waiting time before your flight, getting through immigration in case of an international flight and recovering your checked luggage.
In certain cases all these procedures can add no less than 5 hours to your total travel time.
