TO KRABI BY AIR:
:: from Bangkok ...daily flights to and from Bangkok with
Thai Airways
| Bangkok Airways |
AirAsia
:: from Kuala Lumpur ...daily
flights to and from Kuala Lumpur with
AirAsia
The airport is 15km from Krabi Town... taxi or mini-bus
to Krabi Town... or you can hike out to the main road (500-700m) and
catch a songtaew (local bus about every 45 minutes maybe?) for 30 baht.
:: Bangkok to Krabi by
overnight aircon VIP bus:
...12 hour trip, leaves Bangkok at 6 p.m. daily. When we travel by
over-night bus we ONLY take the "Government VIP 24 seat". (First
class buses with seats like 1st
class on the airlines with lots of leg room.) We purchase our
tickets ONLY at the southern bus terminal, don't be fooled by the
Khaosan agents who say theirs is the same. THEY ARE NOT
:: Bangkok to Krabi by over
night train:
...You can't really go by train to Krabi. You have 2 choices. In either
case, take something to eat, the train food is pricy and NOT a favorite.
There are many food vendors around the station that will prepare a box
lunch for take away.
1) - take the train to Surat Thani then bus to Krabi... either
non-aircon 2nd class sleeper or 1st class A/C cabin
sleeper... the later is about half the price of airfare but so
comfortable and private. Both classes have up-down berths with fresh
white linens made up by the porter at your request. The 12 hour
trip leaves around 5-6 pm daily. The train actually stops in xxxx not
Surat Thani. From here you only have one choice to Krabi. The touts will
sell you big aircon or mini bus tickets - 3-4 hours. (Some agents in
Bangkok will sell a combo train-bus all in one for about the same $)
2) - take the train all the way to Trang, (this is my personal
favorite... the train arrives at a leisurely 9 am right in the
downtown... Trang is not a tourist city and has a great Chinese
ambiance... also the convenience of the train station right downtown is
great) then it's only a 2 hour taxi/bus ride to Krabi.
:: Penang, Malaysia to Krabi by
aircon mini-bus: ...Toyota/Izuzu/Nissan vans that seat ten
fairly comfortably, but they always sell 11 plus driver. (you can buy 3
seats for more room). They leave at 6 am, go to Hat Yai in Thailand,
there you wait an hour then into another van to Krabi , arriving about 3
or 4PM so you'll have to stay in Krabi one night. (City Hotel or KR
Mansion are Mid to Budget places to over night in.)
