Post on trips done in June 2010
Travel by longtail boats is one of the more economical ways to travel by water. A 3 to 4-hour hire would cost about THB1500. Cost would vary from operator operator as well as depend on the condition of the boats.
We took a longtail boat from Phang Nga Bay (beside Sam Chong Restauarant) to James Bond Island and Koh Panyee. The boatman and his friends at the jetty were very helpful. They helped our friend carry us up and down the boat. We didn't alight at any of the destinations. We were happy to just sit in the boat ride. It would have been nice, but too much trouble for everyone else, especially since there were two of us on wheelchairs.
We also took a longtail boat from Rawai Beach, Phuket to Koh Hae (Coral Island). Likewise, the boatman helped us get on and off the boat. This time, however, we disembarked at Coral Island as we were spending the afternoon there -- to swim with the fishes! :-)
