Transportation in Krabi

# Getting Around Krabi: Transportation Overview Krabi's transportation network serves both the mainland town and its famous island destinations. First-time visitors should know that the region is spread out—Krabi Town, the beaches of Ao Nang, and Railay Beach are separate areas requiring different transport modes. The main options include songthaews (shared pickup trucks), taxis, motorbike rentals, and longtail boats for coastal areas. For island hopping to Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, or nearby beaches, ferries and speedboats operate from several piers. **Airport Transfer Tip:** Krabi International Airport sits between Krabi Town and Ao Nang. Airport taxis and shared minivans serve both destinations—use the official booking counters inside the terminal for transparent pricing. Many hotels also arrange airport pickups. The journey to Ao Nang typically takes 30-40 minutes, while Krabi Town is about 20 minutes away. For current schedules, routes, and booking options for ferries, buses, and transfers throughout Krabi, check the booking widgets on this site where you can compare operators and secure your transportation in advance.
