Route and Accessibility:
Flights are easily available from Bangkok to Phuket and Krabi. Once on the islands, you have several travel options including tuk-tuks, taxis, and motorbike rentals. In Bangkok, you can use the BTS Skytrain, MRT subway, taxis, or tuk-tuks.

Altitude and Acclimatization:
Altitude is not really a concern in these locations as they are near sea level. But do stay hydrated and protect yourself from the heat especially during hot afternoons.
