Transportation

Pimalai Earth & Social Care – Airport Transfer Project
Living adjacent to a pristine National Marine Park reminds us of the vulnerability of this planet to the effects of global warming and of natural disasters as well. This encourages us to be practical in our consumption of the gasoline used in transportation and to use it as sparingly as possible without upsetting the comfort and convenience of our guests…and also to minimize the effect on the quality of our local air, land and sea environments. A Pimalai goal is to be as "Truly Green" as possible so we are therefore launching a new transfer schedule, to and from the resort, which is aimed at reducing our carbon output to the world.

From June 2011 onwards we will implement a new boat transfer schedule as following:
Depending on the season / Depending on weather & sea conditions

Arrival Transfer
1030H – Resort Boat departs from Pimalai boat base at Bahuahin Jetty on the mainland to bring arriving guests to Pimalai resort front floating jetty or Amphur Kao Old Town Jetty on the East coast of Lanta island
1600H – Resort Boat departs from Pimalai boat base at Bahuahin Jetty on the mainland to bring arriving guests to Pimalai resort front floating jetty or Amphur Kao Old Town Jetty on the east coast of Lanta island

Departure Transfer
0700H – Resort Boat departs from Pimalai resort front floating jetty or Amphur Kao Old Town Jetty on the East coast of Lanta island to take departing guests to the Pimalai boat base at Bahuahin Jetty on the mainland
1200H – Resort Boat departs from Pimalai resort front floating jetty or Amphur Kao Old Town Jetty on the East coast of Lanta island to take departing guests to the Pimalai boat base at Bahuahin Jetty on the mainland

Krabi Airport to Pimalai is priced at THB 1900 net per person in each direction (joint boat and van transportation).  The journey to or from Pimalai takes approximately 1hr 45mins up to 2hr 15mins depending on the season and the route selected by the resort to handle the transfer. Transfers INTO and OUT of the resort are subject to weather and sea conditions.

Flight from Bangkok - TG 241 - arriving Krabi Airport at 0920H
Flight from Bangkok - TG 245 - arriving Krabi Airport at 1450H
Departing flight from Krabi Airport for Bangkok - TG 242 - departing at 1010H
Departing flight from Krabi Airport for Bangkok - TG 246 - departing at 1535H

When arriving at our mainland boat base outside the above mentioned departing time, WE CAN ALWAYS get you to the resort by using the normal public ferries. Similarly if the sea conditions are too rough then we will use the public ferry system both for arriving or departing guests.
