Ao Nang is the busiest beach town in Krabi province and the starting point for longtail boats to Railay and island-hopping trips. Your driver takes you straight to your hotel, with no stops for other passengers.
How long is the drive from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang?
Most transfers take 38–48 minutes. The route heads west along the main highway past the outskirts of Krabi Town, then turns towards the coast on a road lined with palm and rubber plantations, with limestone cliffs rising ahead.
The last part runs into Ao Nang itself, where the beachfront road and the side streets can be slow in the evening when restaurants and markets are busy.
Where Ao Nang hotels are
- Beachfront and centre
- Hotels along the main beach road and in the streets behind it, within walking distance of restaurants and the boat counters.
- Hillside
- Resorts set back on the slopes above town, often with views of the bay. The driver can usually go to the entrance, but roads are narrow.
- Towards Noppharat Thara
- Quieter hotels along the long beach just north-west of the centre, popular with couples and families who prefer calmer evenings.
Typical prices and vehicles
A private car for one to three passengers usually costs around €22–30. A minivan for up to about seven people is typically around €30–40 and suits families with strollers or divers with gear bags.
Child seats can be requested when booking. If you bring diving equipment or a surfboard, declare it so the provider sends a vehicle with enough room.
Your return from Ao Nang
For an international flight, plan to be picked up about three hours before departure; for a domestic flight, about two and a half hours. In the high season from December to February, evening traffic in Ao Nang can add a few minutes, so do not cut it finer.
If you are coming back from Railay on the day of your flight, allow extra time for the boat to Ao Nang before your road transfer.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a private transfer from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang?
A car usually costs around €22–30 and a minivan around €30–40. These are indicative ranges; the exact price is shown before you book.
Can the driver take me to Railay?
No car can reach Railay. The driver drops you in Ao Nang near the beach, and you continue by longtail boat. Boat tickets are bought locally and are not part of the road transfer.
Will the car reach my hotel on the hillside?
In most cases, yes. Some lanes above Ao Nang are narrow and steep, so the provider may confirm the best drop-off point with you before arrival.
Is Ao Nang a good base for island trips?
Yes. Many day trips to the nearby islands and to Phi Phi start from Ao Nang beach or nearby piers, usually from November to April when the sea is calmer.
What if my flight from Bangkok is delayed?
Share your flight number when booking. The provider follows the real landing time, and the agreed price does not change.
