All the large islands have real ferry services - e.g. large catamarans, passenger ferries or car ferries - so it's easy to visit all but the smallest islands without using a small longtail boat.

Thanks for your reply, i am assuming that i may be safe then

I can highly recommend Stugeron for seasickness. Hubby hasn't suffered once since he started taking them on cruises.

Thanx luci

I'm a bit prone to sea sickness but I've never felt poorly on a long-tail...mind you they can get a bit hairy in rough seas. Some long tails are better equipped then others...many don't have life jackets. I've been on one where there was about twenty of us on the boat and we were all bailing and working out whether we could swim to shore as we were convinced the boat would not make it in the rough seas (it did). But on the whole they are great fun and the best way to get around Krabi/ Phang-Nga.

I get really travel sick on trains, coaches and in cars. Its OK if I am driving.
Last year I brought the wrist bands from boots - they worked brilliantly.
Took 4 hour train ride through the thai countryside - no symptoms.
Took a 3 hour car ride sitting in the back ( usually after 10 minutes in the back I feel queasy). No symptoms whatsoever.

Not sure if they will work for sea-sickness but might be worth a try.
