By Air
Krabi Airport is situated about 20 km south of Krabi Town. At Nadivana Serviced Apartments we offer a transfer service if you specify your arrival time; otherwise there are efficient, regulated taxis available to Ao Nang.
The new international terminal, with customs and immigration services, provide visas on arrival and enables you to pass through passport control here, avoiding Bangkok’s long lines.
Phuket International Airport is about two hours drive by car and is worth considering as an alternative arrival point as the flight frequency is greater and the airport is served by more than 50 different airlines.
A number of airlines fly Bangkok to Krabi. Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Air Asia, Nok Air and 1-2-GO - Orient Thai. Tiger Airways is another option. Instead of traveling via Bangkok, Singapore is a convenient connecting airport.
