      Hi Dita,

      I don’t know but when there is an airplane going with more people from the region I’m sure there will be more minivans. The agents are working together to have the minivans full to the airport at that time. Just book it in advance πŸ™‚
      Have a great stay in Ao Nang Dita.

      Where do you go to the Full Moon Party? As the big Full Moon Party is on Koh Phangan.
      Often people fly to oh Samui and take the ferry from there to Koh Phangan to visit the Full Moon Party.
      I recommend to book your accommodation in advance as often its booked out / only expensive accommodation left.

      Have a great trip!

    Hey Paul,
    This is a helpful post, but I feel like the taxi vs bus option is 1 million times better. We took the bus today and it took almost an hour an half to get to Ao Nang. After that, they took us a small restaurant from where we caught the long tail boat, rather than the main pier. The long tail boat from the restaurant required significantly more wading than the normal pier which was tough with luggage. I cannot recommend taking the taxi enough – the bus option was almost a traumatic experience.

    would like to know if I would travel from airport and stop at Kolobi Noodle for breakfast first before heading to Hotel at Ao nang what’s the best way or transport i could take? with affordable charges.

    Do airport taxi stop several stops with the same charge of THB500?
    Can i hop down the bus and hop into the next bus without additional charges?

      February 22, 2018 11:27 pm

      Hi KL,

      The bus is bringing you to your hotel and stops along the way to drop some other people to their hotel. It isn’t a hop on hop off bus system. You might have an advantage to look into a shared cab and take a cab yourself after you’ve been to Kolobi Noodle. (otherwise just go straight to AO Nang, there are plenty good restaurants in Ao Nang)

      Hi Jessie, The public bus from AO Nang to Krabi Airport departs from 4 bus stops in the Ao Nang Beach area. The easiest bus stop is the one in front of the McDonalds restaurant in Ao Nang. The bus from Ao Nang to Krabi Airport costs 150 THB per person one way and departs every hour from 06:00 to 20:00. Maybe double check exact time schedule and latest information on day before in Ao Nang. <3

      Have a great trip Jessie!

    August 25, 2019 update: Apparently no one knows about the 150 bhat public bus from ao nang to the airport?? Bus stops are still there on the street….. But I’ve been here for 4 days and haven’t seen the ubiquitous white bus one time. Not once. Usually you see them on the streets (this is my third visit). I took the bus to ao nang from the airport just days ago so it does exist. Not sure about ao nang to the airport though? Alternatively, you can walk into the lobby at Ibis hotel, pass the front desk, to a travel desk, and get a 150bhat ticket to the airport in a private shuttle. I’m a guest here at Ibis and was surprised to find this deal for the same price as the public bus.
