Frequently Asked Questions — Krabi to Ao Nang

How much does it cost to get from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang?+

Two SmartEnPlus options: shared JOIN vans by Phichet Transport at THB 120 per person (12-seat van, 5 daily departures from the airport at 08:00, 10:00, 11:00, 13:00 and 17:00, 45–60 min including hotel stops), or a private transfer by Dou Lay Krabi Transportation at THB 600 for a sedan (up to 2 pax), THB 700 for an SUV (up to 4 pax), or THB 800 for a VAN (up to 8 pax). The shared van is the cheapest option if you are travelling solo; private makes sense for groups or families.

How long does it take to get from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang?+

The shared Phichet Transport van takes about 45 to 60 minutes from Krabi Airport (KBV) to Ao Nang, including multiple hotel drop-offs along the way. A private Dou Lay transfer is faster at around 30 to 45 minutes since it goes direct. Ao Nang is roughly 25–30 km from the airport, via Highway 4. There is no rail service in Krabi — all transfers are by road.

Is there a train or bus from Krabi to Ao Nang?+

No train. Krabi Province has no railway. SmartEnPlus covers the Krabi Airport and Klong Jilad Pier transfers to Ao Nang by road (shared van at THB 120 per person, or private car/SUV/VAN from THB 600). If you are already in Krabi Town, the local option is the white songthaew from Maharaj Road — THB 60 per person during the day (THB 80 after 6pm), every 15–20 minutes, 30–45 minutes with stops.
