Tips & Things to Know

Songthaews are the main local transport between Krabi Town and Ao Nang — reliable during the day but scarce after dark.

If arriving at Krabi Airport, Ao Nang is 35–45 minutes away. The airport bus (฿90) or a minibus transfer (฿150–200) is more economical than a private taxi.
