Bangkok to Krabi

Travel from Bangkok to Krabi by overnight bus, or fly to Krabi International Airport and arrange your onward transfer separately. On Andaman Taxis, the overnight bus options include departures from Khaosan Road Montanatip Office to Krabi Bus Terminal and a named stop in Ao Nang. Check the final stop before comparing tickets: an arrival at a bus terminal, an airport or an island pier leaves you with a different journey to your accommodation.

Overnight bus from Khao San Road

The Monthanathip Tour & Travel service to Krabi Bus Terminal lists an estimated journey of about 15 hours from the Bangkok office to the terminal. The selected timetable for the service to Starbucks Ao Nang is about 16 hours. These are departure-to-drop-off estimates; they exclude getting to the Bangkok office, reporting before departure and travelling from the final stop to your hotel.

A shared bus can suit travellers who prefer an overnight journey and a fare per person. Choose the endpoint that fits your stay. The service information allows for transit and different vehicles, so a ticket sold as one itinerary should not be treated as a promise of one vehicle throughout or a nonstop journey.

Flying to Krabi Airport

Flights from Bangkok arrive at Krabi International Airport (KBV). Compare departures from Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK), and check the airport code on your ticket before arranging transport in Bangkok. A direct DMK to KBV flight can be scheduled at around 1 hour 20 minutes; use the duration of your chosen flight when planning.

Flying can suit travellers with less time for the long overland journey, but the flight duration does not include airport travel, check-in, baggage collection or the transfer after landing. Book the flight separately from the ground transfer. For an Ao Nang stay, compare Krabi Airport to Ao Nang transfers and confirm that the chosen service covers your hotel address.

Krabi Bus Terminal: This is a terminal arrival, rather than a hotel drop-off in Krabi Town or Ao Nang. If your ticket ends here, arrange the remaining journey to your accommodation. When comparing Krabi to Ao Nang travel options, match the pickup point to the terminal; the wider Krabi search also includes other origins.

Ao Nang: The Bangkok bus option names Starbucks Ao Nang as its arrival point. Use that exact location when planning the last part of the journey. An Ao Nang ticket does not by itself confirm delivery to every hotel in the area.

Railay: Reaching Railay requires a boat leg. If you choose an itinerary labelled Floating Pier East Railay, ask for confirmation of the boat boarding point, the included connections and the handover instructions. A generic bus label does not explain how the sea connection is arranged.

Koh Phi Phi: A Bus+Ferry ticket ending at Tonsai Pier takes you to Koh Phi Phi Don, rather than mainland Krabi Town. Its advertised duration covers the combined itinerary. Confirm the transfer instructions and how you will reach your accommodation from the pier. If you first travel to mainland Krabi and book the boat separately, compare Krabi to Koh Phi Phi connections using the actual departure pier.

The Monthanathip Tour & Travel itineraries described here start at Khaosan Road Montanatip Office. Their service information requires passengers to report at the office at least 1 hour before departure. Arrange your own journey there and use the meeting location on your confirmation.

Sai Tai Mai is a different boarding point. As a separately booked alternative, Lignite Tour lists buses from Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (Sai Tai Mai) to Krabi Bus Terminal. Use that operator's current timetable and reporting instructions; do not apply its terminal location or journey time to a Khao San Road ticket.

Check the baggage allowance for the exact service before paying, including any charges for excess bags or sports equipment. Give the booking team the number and size of your bags, and ask about any child-seat or accessibility needs. A vehicle's seat count alone does not confirm luggage space or the equipment available.

Use the search form above to enter your travel date and passenger numbers, then open the details of an itinerary with the right pickup and final stop. Compare the total cost for your party: shared bus fares are shown per person, and any separately booked airport, terminal, pier or hotel transfer adds another part to the journey.

Read the baggage, amendment and cancellation terms for the chosen departure. If the summary and detailed terms differ, ask for clarification before payment rather than relying on a refund badge alone.

If you are catching a separately booked boat or flight after the overnight bus, we recommend allowing a generous margin for road delays and the transfer between arrival and departure points. Follow the onward operator's reporting deadline. Consider an overnight stay before a connection that would otherwise leave little room for delay; the bus's estimated arrival is not a guaranteed connection.
