A short post, just a note for those traveling from Ao Nang to Krabi. In fact, you have only three options for how to get there: Bus, songteo (minibus), taxi.

Bus

The bus runs on schedule and it is tailored for arriving flights. That is, he leaves quite well from Krabi airport (follow the link not only about the airport, but also how to get from it to Aonang), you won't have to wait too much, but from Ao Nang, on the contrary, you will have to adjust. Bus tickets can be bought in some hotels or travel agencies, and I was told that you cannot buy a ticket on the bus (questionable information, most likely possible). Unfortunately, the bus stops are very inconspicuous and few. That’s why I didn’t like the bus, that it’s not obvious to a beginner that there is, in principle, a bus in Aonang. And the schedule does not hang at the stops ... In general, it makes sense to wait for it near McDonald's, this is a good reference point. The cost of a ticket to the airport is 150 baht, the cost to Krabi Town is 80 baht, he calls on the road. Travel time is about an hour.

Minibus

Songteo (minibuses) are easier, they run at regular intervals (approximately every half hour, but until dark approximately) and they can be braked anywhere on the main road. They go from Noparat Tara Beach via Ao Nang. The cost is 50-60 baht to Krabi Town. Travel time 40-60 minutes.

Taxi

Well, the most convenient and easiest option is a taxi. True, and the most expensive. If you save money, then you can't hit a taxi, only if you take it once or for several people. For example for 3-4 people is already comparable to a bus or songteo. We once took a minivan for 600 baht, however, usually for this money there will be not a minivan, but an ordinary passenger car. But by taxi, you can leave almost instantly, just go to the lobby of a hotel or to a company that deals with transfers and say what you need. Last time I waited about 10 minutes in total.

Alternatively, order a taxi via the Internet from Kiwitaxi, they just work in Thailand. Of course, if you need it in advance, not 5 minutes later. For example, you will go to Krabi airport, or even to Phuket. You don't even have to leave home to order.
