Transfer to Krabi Town: The Authentic Heart of the Province
While the beaches of Ao Nang and Railay often steal the spotlight, Krabi Town remains the charming, authentic soul of the province. Located along the banks of the Krabi River, famous for its "Mud Crabs" sculpture and the majestic Khao Kanab Nam twin mountains, this town offers a glimpse into real Thai life.
It is the perfect destination for foodies visiting the Weekend Night Market, culture seekers exploring Wat Kaew Korawaram, and travelers needing a strategic transit point to the islands.
However, Krabi Town is often misunderstood geographically. It is located inland, about 20 kilometers from the beaches of Ao Nang and 15 kilometers from the airport. Navigating the local "Songthaew" (converted pickup truck buses) with luggage can be confusing and hot. Booking a private transfer to Krabi Town ensures you reach your hotel or ferry connection smoothly and comfortably.
Why Choose a Private Taxi to Krabi Town?
Whether you are staying for a night or using the town as a jumping-off point, a private car offers significant advantages over public options.
- Critical Connection to Klong Jilad Pier For many, Krabi Town is the gateway to the Phi Phi Islands. The main departure point for large ferries to Koh Phi Phi is Klong Jilad Pier, located just outside the town center.
The Problem: The airport shuttle bus often drops passengers at a central stop in town, leaving you to walk or find a tuk-tuk to get to the pier. The Solution: Our private transfer takes you directly from Krabi Airport to the Klong Jilad ticket counter. We ensure you arrive with plenty of time to buy tickets and board your ferry, eliminating the stress of missing the boat.
- Explore Inland Attractions Comfortably Krabi Town is the best base for visiting the province's famous inland jungle attractions: the Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot), the Blue Pool, the Hot Springs, and the Tiger Cave Temple. These sites are located 40–60 km away from the town. Hiring a local taxi on the street can be expensive and involve haggling. You can book our driver for a private transfer or a chartered day trip to visit these sites in air-conditioned comfort before returning to your hotel.
- Direct Hotel Drop-Off Krabi Town has many boutique hostels and riverside hotels hidden in small lanes. Public buses run on fixed routes and will not drop you at your doorstep. Our drivers know the town intimately, from the Pak Up Hostel to the riverside Maritime Park Resort.
