Getting Around Krabi

Navigating Krabi is relatively straightforward with several transportation options catering to tourists and locals alike. The province lacks formal public transit systems like metros or trams, instead relying on songthaews (shared pickup trucks, 30-50 THB per trip) and local buses (20-100 THB) for budget travel between towns. From Krabi International Airport, the Krabi Airport Limousine service (150 THB per person) and the Krabi Airport Bus (90-100 THB) connect to Ao Nang and Krabi Town, with journey times of 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. For flexibility, the Grab app operates throughout tourist areas, offering convenient ride-hailing services with upfront pricing.

For island hopping, long-tail boats (100-200 THB) and speedboats (300-500 THB) depart regularly from main piers like Ao Nang and Railay. Renting a motorbike (200-300 THB daily) or car (1,000+ THB daily) from reputable agencies provides independence for exploring Krabi's scattered attractions, though international driving permits are required.
