Getting Around in Krabi

Renting cars, bus, taxi, motorbike or boat

Rent a Car

Krabi has a good road network, especially around the national parks and local attractions, so hiring a car and driving yourself is easy. Car Hire is available at most hotel desks or travel agents.

Taxis & Local Busses

Open-air buses, (Songtaews) converted trucks and motorcycle taxis provide a cheap and efficient public transport service throughout the province. Fares vary according to the destination - whether you're running around town, or travelling from Krabi Town to one of the beach resorts. Services are efficient and regular with buses stopping wherever you want to get on or off.

Better still, rent a Songtaew (taxi truck) to drive you round for the day.

Longtail Boats & Ferries

From Krabi Town

Krabi Town, as well as being the provincial capital, is also the main harbour for local boat services.

Ferries operate to the Phi Phi Islands, Jum Island and Lanta Island, catch the boats from Chao Fah Pier (Krabi Town).

Note:
Some services stop during the monsoon season (May-October) and are substituted by a combined bus and long-tail boat system which operates from small harbours along the coast.

If you don't want to use this system, a private transfer is the only choice for certain islands like Lanta Island. The 2 car ferries, which connect the island to the mainland operate from 07:00 to 19:00. Transfer time from Krabi about 2 hours.

Longtail Boats

From Ao Nang/Railay

The coast is also well served by local 'longtail' taxi boats. Fast, reliable and inexpensive, these boats depart from Ao Nang Beach (just go to the seafront) to Railay, Phra Nang and Krabi town.

Fares average around 50 - 80 Baht depending on your destination and the time of day (more expensive after sunset) The boats operate regularly between Ao Nang and Railey (they leave when there are enough passengers) and operate year round (subject to weather conditions.)

NOTE: Prices of local longtail boats are fixed so don't bother bargaining unless you are hiring the whole boat.
