Bus from Krabi Airport to Krabi town or Ao Nang

Get tickets for the bus to Krabi town or Ao Nang

A yellow ticket to Ao Nang and a pink ticket to Krabi town. This is important for the moment you have to switch š On 2/3 of the ride you have to switch the bus when you go to Krabi town. When you go to Ao Nang you can stay in the bus. (But always listen to the bus driver and co for instructions.)
Why I prefer the bus to Ao Nang š
When you have your ticket go to the exit of the Krabi airport and look for the employees of the bus. Give them the name of your and they will line up the route. Awesome thing the bus will drop you at your hotel! The ride will take 45 / 50 minutes to Ao Nang depending on the amount of people in the bus.

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.
Hi Paul, do you know the times of the hourly public buses from Krabi airport to Ao Nang beach. My flight arrives at 17.20pm. many thanks!
Hi Alexandra, yes every hour between 08:00 and 20:00 you should be fine with the public bus from Krabi airport to Ao Nang beach š They also go when they are full as they have multiple.
Hello Friends,
Do any of you know any website on which I can check where are the bus stops and what is the price?
I need to find bus from airport to Krabi town.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Tom they will deliver you from Krabbi Airport to your hotel in Krabi town! š 150 baht for the ride!
Hi Paul. Do you know where can i take the airport shuttle from Aonang beach area?

Hello! I have a flight at 08:00am from Krabi airport (7 November). Is there any possibility goes by Shuttle bus from Krabi town before 06:00am? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
Hi Maggie, from my understanding the earliest bus from AO Nang to the Airport will go at 6AM. You can contact an local travel agent/ or your hotel/hostel and will be able to get a shuttle pick you up from your hotel or hostel in Ao Nang š
Have a great trip!
Hi, I’ll arrive to the airport around 8.30 pm. Do you think the bus still works at that time?
Thanks š
I’m not sure about that to be honest, they say they work from 8am – 8pm approx. I wouldn’t count on it at 8.30.
Hai paul. How can i travel from aonang to emerald pool?it is doable by moped?
Thanks
Hi Nkhairani, I’m not sure I havent been there. But from what other travelsites say its doable by scooter/ moped. I liked this article about the Emerald Pool and Blue Pool.

Hi there.
I will be travelling to Krabi this early April.
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?
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 Paul, IĀ“ll arrive at Krabi airport at 11:40 pm, do you know if at that time will be possible to catch a bus or van to AoNang? Or maybe is better to book a Hotel at Krabi town just for a night and early in the morning move to Ao Nang? Thanks!!
Hi Ketrin,
The bus to Krabi Town and AO Nang will split, so you can take the same bus and later they will split the bus to Krabi Town and AO Nang. Have fun on your trip! š
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.
Thank you for your comment Shivan! In some cases the taxi can be a great option too. Some people like to save money and don’t care about the time. I think it is an way way to travel and everyone should decide if they rather take the taxi or bus.
Hi , would like to know if possible to go from ao nang to krabi airport with the airport bus-
Thanks for your help
Yes you can book easy at one of the tour agents to make an easy trip to the airport!
Hello , we have a flight at 08:00am from Krabi airport, is there any possibility goes by Shuttle bus from Krabi town before 06:00am . THANK YOU
I’m not sure about that, I would ask some local agencies on the day you arrive. Otherwise a taxi is always an option but more expensive. But as more people need to get the airplane I’m pretty sure there should be a bus. Have a great trip Josef!
Hi Paul.
I’m going to Krabi this weekend and will be staying at Ao Nang with my friend. I plan to go to Night Market at Krabi Town on my second night.
How do i go there from Ao Nang? Is it ok if i rent a motorcycle? The journey takes about 30min.
How much the price for tuk tuk?
Hi Tasya,
I can’t help you with that as I never made that trip. Best way is to see a travel agent and check what the local bus prices are. I can imagine that they have busses from Ao Nang to Krabi Town Night Market.
Have a great trip!
Hi! I will be visiting Krabi this November. I will be arriving at 5 in the afternoon, until what time the airport bus is available? Furthermore, are they going to drop us on our exact hotel or there are just drop off points where the bus will unload passengers? How to do about this? Shall I give the name of my hotel? Thank you so much. It’s my first time travelling in Krabi and i’m travelling alone. š
Hi Flouise, You go to the desk at Krabi airport, tell them you hotel and they will bring you there š (sometimes they do one separate stop to split the people from Krabi Town and Ao Nang) I’m not sure till when the busses are riding but 5PM shouldn’t be a problem! Have a great trip!
Do you know how much it costs to take the bus from Ao Nang to Krabi Airport?
Hi John the Bus from Krabi Airport to Krabi town or Ao Nang is 150 Baht
Hi Paul
I land in krabi on 2nd at 3 PM. I am keen to go to the full moon party can you help with planning this out.
Where do i stay on 2nd
How do i get to full moon party if i stay at ao nang
What taxi/ ferry option do i consider and do i need to book anything in advance
Hi Karan,
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!
Hi. I plan to visit Krabi this week and wondering, how to get to Klong Muang from airport. Is there any minibus/taxi and what is the price?
Hi Colvera, I never did that trip so I cant help you there. As I look on Google maps the distance will be more or less the same. So I can imagine the costs will be roughly the same. Also another option is to get to Ao Nang or Krabi town and get a taxi there š
Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for all the information !
I don’t think somebody already ask about how long far it takes from Krabi airport to Ao Nang beach with the Airport white bus ?
(and if somebody did, sorry to haven’t seen…)
Thanks in advance for your reply !
Hi Jessica, it will take roughly an hour/ 1.15 till Ao nang beach as your drop off people along the way to their hotels. (depending on how many people are on that bus that moment) Have a great trip!
Hi can i book a taxi when i arrival in Krabi or i have to book on line?
What is the price for the taxi rate to Ao nang?
Hi Susan, you can easy book it on the airport. I’m not sure about the Taxi rate from the airport sorry. If you can let us know later in the comments that would be really helpfull. Support eachother š Have a great trip!
Let’s say if I go there with my family (3pax) do we get to pay the 150 TBH for a bus or 150TBH per person ?
Hi Sara, it is 150 per person. But with 3 you may be able to get a better deal with the taxi. Never try never know š
Hi Paul. Will be in Krabi from Dec 31 to Jan 6. Where do you think is a better place for New Year? Ao Nang or Phi Phi?
Hi Mark, it all depends on what you’re looking for. If you want to party, you can find in both. Ao Nang = Slumbers Party Hostel if you’re on Phi Phi they probably will organise something. Have a great trip!
I do not arrive at Krabi Airport till 8-20 pm is there mini vans still running after 9 pm

Hi Aga, I have no idea. You can maybe shoot the tourist info a message on Facebook with the question š https://www.facebook.com/Krabi-Toursim-1251482364868705/ Have a great one!
I Paul ! Thank you for all your comments. I have a question :
Do you think they have bus krabi town to Airport at 7 am ?
Or do you think it’s better to take a taxi ?
Yes they will have, I had to be at the airport myself at 7, just arrange a spot in a van at one of the agents in Ao Nang or Krabi Town. Enjoy your stay!
My family of 4 persons will be traveling to Krabi in June 2018. Can you please advice which is cheapest transport to Krabi town
Hi Franco, My advise is to just see what they offer on the airport š If you may can negotiate a good deal a taxi can be cheaper that 4 tickets for the bus. Cheers!
Hi Paul. Im going to KRABI on 25Aug. Is that true Aug is a rainy season? Just afraid that my family can’t enjoy much during the trip
Hi Douglas, I’ve been there in August. Rain season depends, its still warm and sometimes a shower. There are a lot of options from Krabi to go to. Like the islands in front of Krabi for example. Easy to book boat tickets in Ao Nang.
Have an awesome holiday Douglas!

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 š
Have a great stay in Ao Nang Dita.
Cheers Paul
