Krabi Travel Forum

Hey all
We've just booked to stay at AoNang Paradise Resorts for 3 days next week.
The address is 25/18 Moo 2 | Aonang Muang, Krabi 81000, Thailand.

The hotel's pick up service cost THB600 but it sounds a bit too much for 40mins journey considering we paid THB300 in Bangkok from airport to hotel for about same distance.

Are there many meter taxis outside Krabi airport like in Bangkok or not? Or is THB600 a fair deal?

Many thanks!

Taxis and tuk-tuks are more expensive in the resort areas, they maybe meter taxis but they will only charge fixed rates. For example on Phuket the charge from the airport to Patong which is a 30 minute drive is 600THB.

I agree. It is more expensive and but that is about the price we paid.

Hi
There is an airport Bus serving Ao Nang for about 150TBH each it drops off outside the major resorts. Check out the bus counter in arrivals.You may have to wait until it fills up but you may find a large number of people from your flight going to Ao Nang. We are also going to Krabi in the summer and plan to use this service.

Cheers all!

As donna12 posted, Krabi Airport offers a regular bus service (white buses as you exit the aiport's terminal to the right but you purchase the ticket at the offices after baggage claim), charging 150bahts/person to get to Ao Nang and 90bahts for Krabi-town which they drop off first before continuing on to Ao Nang. It takes about 20 minutes to get from the airport to Krabi-town and another 20 minutes to one end of Ao Nang and they drop off at various points. The ticket seller or bus driver will also ask you when you buy the bus ticket where you want to get dropped off so they'll know which resorts to 'drop' passengers off at.
If it's more than 3 travelers, then it's more practical to just share the taxi all the way from the airport into Ao Nang since it'll be much faster.
