Which car for a three-hour drive

Over 165 km a tight car gets uncomfortable, so choose with some room to spare. The price follows the car, not the number of people in it.

  • Sedan, 4,599 THB: up to 3 passengers with luggage. Fine for a couple with two suitcases.
  • SUV / MPV, 4,899 THB: up to 4 passengers with luggage. The sensible pick for a family of four, or three people with a lot of bags.
  • Minibus, 5,399 THB: up to 9 passengers with luggage, for a larger group on the same flight.
  • VIP Minibus, 6,399 THB: up to 8 passengers in a premium cabin, for people who want to sleep or work on the way.

Krabi is a place people go to climb and dive, and sports bags take more space than suitcases. Count them as luggage when you choose the car.

The road from the airport to Krabi

The airport is in the north of Phuket, so this trip leaves the island straight away. The car follows Highway 402 north to the Sarasin Bridge, which links Phuket with Phang Nga province on the mainland. After the bridge the road becomes Highway 4 and runs across Phang Nga, with limestone cliffs along the way.

The last part of the journey goes through Ao Luek and into Krabi province. Krabi Town lies a little further on. The whole trip takes about 2 hours 40 minutes in normal traffic, and any stop for food or a break is added to that.

The distance page has the route stage by stage, with the other long-distance destinations for comparison.

Krabi Town, Ao Nang or the airport

The prices on this page are for Krabi Town. The town sits on the west bank of the Krabi River, among mangroves, and the twin limestone hills of Khao Khanab Nam stand over the water. Longtail boats leave from the town piers.

Ao Nang and Railay are different places. Ao Nang is a beach resort area on the coast, and Railay is reached by boat, not by road. If your hotel is outside the town, send its name before you book so the destination is confirmed.

Krabi Airport is a separate destination in the booking form. It is 145 km from Phuket airport, about 2 hours, at 3,999 THB for a sedan, 4,299 THB for an SUV or MPV, 4,999 THB for a minibus and 5,999 THB for a VIP minibus. It is the right choice if you are catching a flight from there, not going to the town.

Arriving late, and holiday dates

The service runs 24/7 and the driver tracks your flight number. A landing at 10 pm still gets you a car, but the drive then ends well after midnight. Ask your Krabi hotel about late check-in before you travel, and give them your expected arrival time.

If you want to skip the arrivals queue, Fast Track is available at the airport on arrival.

Trips on 24 December to 5 January carry a holiday surcharge of 400 THB per car. That makes a sedan 4,999 THB, an SUV or MPV 5,299 THB, a minibus 5,799 THB and a VIP minibus 6,799 THB.

What to send when you book

  1. Your flight number and arrival date.
  2. The name of your hotel in Krabi, with a map pin if you have one.
  3. The car size.
  4. Payment by Visa, Mastercard or PayPal when you book.

At the airport the driver waits at Gate 2 next to Exit 2 for international flights, or at Gate A for domestic ones.
