Transfer Options from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang

Krabi International Airport (KBV), situated 26 kilometers from Ao Nang, is the main gateway to famous tourist destinations such as Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi. To begin your relaxing beachside vacation, there are three main transport options from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang: a local taxi, a private Krabi Airport transfer, or a public shuttle bus.

Taking a Krabi Airport taxi or a pre-booked private transfer from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang will take just 45 minutes and both will charge a fixed rate fare. These services offer the fastest and only direct transfer option. With the private transfer, you’ll also be guaranteed an English-speaking driver and flight monitoring in case your plane is delayed.

The shared shuttle bus is the cheapest transport option if you’re a solo traveler but it will take at least 1 hour to reach Ao Nang, as it makes several stops along the way and doesn’t run very regularly.
