Krabi International Airport (KBV) is located about 30–40 minutes from the main tourist areas such as Ao Nang and Krabi Town. Grab and Bolt are the easiest and safest ways to reach your hotel directly from the airport. Fixed-rate airport shuttles and minivans are also available (around 150–200 THB per person), while taxis charge roughly 500–700 THB depending on your destination.
