Tanie loty z Bangkok do Krabi

Brief Intro about Krabi:

Considered the “Gem of Thailand”, Krabi is an affordable, popular beach destination, made up of over 150 islands on the Andaman Sea, in one of the southern provinces of Thailand. Its magnificent coastline spans 150km, covering popular beach cities such as Ao Nang, Railay, Phra Nang and its administrative capital, Krabi Town.

There’s plenty to do in Krabi. Since it’s fairly new to tourism, the area is a bit less developed in terms of amenities, but Krabi still has plenty to offer from beach to beach. From unwinding in an Ao Nang resort, to rock-climbing off the unique limestone rock formations in Railay Beach, to exploring local food and culture in Krabi Town’s night markets, there are endless things to do in this tropical destination.

You can easily hop around the famous islands such as Koh Lanta, Koh Jum and Koh Phi Phi. Take a four-island tour in Krabi covering Koh Gai (a chicken-shaped island), Koh Tup, Koh Mawr and Koh Poda. Krabi is Phuket’s quieter neighbor, and is only a 2.5 hour ride away, by both ferry and bus.

Fun fact: The movie “The Beach” (2000), starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was filmed at Maya Beach in Koh Phi Phi.

Leaving the Airport

Krabi International Airport (KBV) is the only airport serving the Krabi province, and it’s located on the main highway – Route 4, around 9 miles away from both Krabi Town or the Ferry Pier. There are several ways to get to your destination from the airport.

By Taxi

Airport taxis are only available at fixed rates. Pre-payment must be made at the airport taxi booth inside the terminal before looking for your driver. It’ll set you back around THB600 to get to Krabi Town (around 15 – 20 minutes), and a bit more to get to Ao Nang (around 30 minutes). Metered taxis make an occasional sighting, but don’t normally use their meters. They instead charge a flat fare, and are typically only slightly cheaper than the airport taxis.

Taxi fares can be as high as THB3000 when going directly from the airport to the islands. This includes car ferry fees, and it usually takes up to 2 hours to reach your island destination.

Airport Shuttle

The airport’s only official shuttle bus service serves destinations in Ao Nang and Krabi Town. There are no fixed drop-off points. Instead, you’ll have to inform the driver where you’re headed, and they’ll stop you either at the drop-off point, or in close walking distance of the drop-off point. Since routes aren’t fixed, it can mean that your journey time may be longer based on the route of the day.

The airport shuttle service leaves 10 – 12 times daily, between 08:00 – 20:00. Prices range from THB100 (Krabi Town) to THB150 (Ao Nang). Bus tickets are available at various ticket counters at the arrival hall.

Private Car

Some hotels offer airport pick-up, but note that advance bookings are usually required. Prices for private transfers are usually similar to the airport taxis. Alternatively, you can book and pre-pay for your airport pick-up on Trip.com, where you’ll have a variety of cars and rates to choose from.

Car Rental

Both the international and domestic terminals of Krabi International Airport (KBV) host many international car rental providers. Their booths are located at the arrival hall of the terminals.
