have just returned from an idyllic fortnight in KS and in the daily paper it said that Bangkok Airlines was starting flights in October 07 direct from KS to Krabi I think twice a week so if I were you I'd check that out on their website. By the way, they've done a lot of work on KS airport since last year and it has not been spoiled in any way - in fact it is now even better! Let us know how you get on.
