Transport connections to Krabi
AS an international base, Krabi has improved dramatically over the last ten years. Since the opening of the new international airport in March 2006, there are regular scheduled connections between Krabi and the transport hubs of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, as well as European charter flight services, which operate during November - April only.

There is no train service in Krabi (the rail network does not reach here), but there is a reliable inter-provincial bus service for long-distance travel within Thailand. The main highways are in good condition and there are excellent and relatively traffic-free routes to Phuket (2 - 3 hours), Bangkok (10 - 12 hours), Surat Thani (2 hours) and Trang (1.5 hours) and Had Yai (5 - 6 hours)in the south.
