Getting to Krabi by plane

For someone who plans to come to Krabi by plane, Krabi Airport (KBV) is available with all facilities. It's a small airport but provides easy access to all parts of the province. Countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Qatar, and China offer direct flights to Krabi and they do operate throughout the year as well. If you are someone from a country such as Poland, Germany, and Russia, please note that flights are operating during the high season, and you may check the availabilities from their official web sites. If you want to travel from one city in Thailand (such as Bangkok or Chaing Mai) to Krabi, there are also domestic flights to serve your requirements. Air Asia, Bangkok Airways, Scoot, and Nok Air are some airlines offering good options to match your requirement.

Getting to Krabi by bus

No matter how fast and comfortable plane rides can be, they may not be affordable for everyone. Don't worry as long as you have the buses leaving from Bangkok to Krabi. You may enjoy an overnight bus ride that takes approximately around 10 hours at an affordable rate of about 950 baht (Note that these bus fares can vary depending on the comforts they provide inside the buses). There are also these 'tourist buses' that provide customised services and they will pick you up from the location that you are in and drop you at the location you require. If you intend to spend your holiday at one of the Ao Nang hotels the likes of Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort, you just have to inform them, and they will do the needful for you. Most of these buses do provide washroom facilities, but it's always better if you do your research and get to know about their facilities before you pay for the ride.
