i figure i could arrive HKT at 1400 wednesday, get to the resort by sunset, spend the next day there, arrive back in phuket around 2000, check out some food there, and then be at HKT at 0000 for my 0200 flight. is that possible logistically?
You can Google all that stuff Rip. My info is old. I took a boat from Ao Nang to Phi Phi to Phuket Town. IIWY, I might think about flying to Krabi and staying at Railay Bch. It's stunning. As far as flight logistics, you can work that out yourself as well. Same day connections to BKK to a long haul flight make me nervous because I got burned by an Air Asia cancellation at HKT once and missed my J award flight back to the States. It cost me $3000 to fly Econ home the next day as I HAD to be at work.
