Krabi airport in Thailand is quite small. It consists of two terminals (1 and 2) connected by a bridge. To get from one terminal to another, you just need to follow the signs and it will take you 5 minutes to move. That is, even if your flight is from another terminal, then you don't need to run headlong anywhere, everything is nearby, and the terminals are small.

Airport to Krabi
How to fly to Krabi
Krabi is not a resort where you can fly from Moscow with a direct flight. Yes, at one time charters flew there, but now they are not. Unfortunately, there are no regular direct regular flights. Only with a transfer in Bangkok or in some Guangzhou. Alternatively, fly to Phuket or Bangkok and from there, by the familiar AirAsia airline, fly to Krabi.
I always look at the tickets in two search engines: Aviasales.ru and Skyscanner.ru. I will not say that I see a difference in price, they give out about the same thing, but in one it is convenient for me to look at one thing, in the other another. Below you can ask the price for tickets to Krabi.

Airport description
English name Krabi Airport, airport code KBV.
I have been to the airport several times, but I still don't understand how the terminals are subdivided. It seems that the 2nd terminal is tailored for Airasia and Nokair, both for departure and arrival. At least we had a departure from the second terminal and I met those who arrived in it..
The Crab Airport has ATMs, several coffee shops and several shops (Terminal 1). There are large parking lots in front of each terminal. There is nothing else around. Actually, you should not expect anything, this is a small local airport.
If you arrived in Krabi and are looking for where to stay, I remind you that we have personally collected catalog of houses in Krabi, where more than 70 houses with a map and a photo. Housing for a short period, while you are looking for a house, you can buy it through RoomGuru, this is the most convenient service.

Bus
Buses run regularly from the airport. Their schedule is adjusted to the flights. The plane arrived and immediately the bus was served. Moreover, you can leave on it, that from the 2nd terminal (it starts from here), that from the 1st (it calls in). True, if you are still driving from terminal 1, then just in case, you need to go to the ticket sales counter and say to yourself, then they will ask the bus to call the bus into terminal 1 over the radio. That's exactly how it was for me. I bought a bus ticket and the airport worker took me to the stop by the handle, said something into the radio, waited for the bus with me and put me on it.
The cost of the bus to Aonang is 150 baht, to Krabi town is 80 baht. The journey takes about an hour. You can also read how from Aonang get to the airport.

Taxi
In addition to the bus, there is also a taxi, which can be taken at any time. It is more expensive than a bus, but it is a taxi. In addition, if there are several people, a taxi will cost the same price as a bus. Also, by taxi, you can go not only to Krabi town and Ao Nang, but also to Phuket, Surat Thani and other places in the province of Krabi. Phuket is a very short distance, by the way, it takes about 2.5 hours by car. And there is also a taxi at any time, and the bus is only on schedule..
Taxi cost to Aonang from 600-1050 baht per car.

Transfer via the Internet
Anyone who wants a minimum of body movements at all can order a transfer to Kiwitaxi via the Internet in advance. You will be met in the arrivals hall, picked up your luggage, put you in the car and taken to the right place. The good way is that there are no problems at all, and the price will be almost the same as for a regular taxi on the spot. See for yourself what is more convenient for you, I prefer to do as much as possible via the Internet.
Transfer to your hotel in Ao Nang>
I have traveled through this company many times. For example, here is my review how Kiwitaxi works in Phuket. Yes, another resort, but the meaning is exactly the same.
By the way, I must say right away, do not take a transfer from the hotel, they break the price of 1,500 baht for this. It’s not clear why this is so, I’ve already screwed up once. Cheaper and more convenient, either via the Internet or directly on site at the airport.
Car rental
Recently, I constantly take a car in Thailand, both upon arrival and living somewhere. A car seems to me to be a much more convenient means of transportation than a bike or, moreover, public transport. Yes, in Bangkok there is a very cheap taxi and there is a subway, but in resorts with public transport there is not much, so the car! It is very convenient if you are with your family and your child. In great detail about all the nuances rent a car in Thailand.
Network rental desks (Hertz, Avis, Sixt, Thai car) are located in Terminal 1. It was there that I returned the car to Hertz’and took another one from Avis’but. But if you arrive at the 2nd terminal, then this is not a problem, they are very close to each other and are connected by a corridor. It is very convenient to take it right at the airport, flew in and went. In addition, it is much less risky to take in an international company than from private traders, there may be no insurance or technical inspection of some.
Rent a car with a discount>
I usually book through Economybookings. One site will have offers from all international distributors, you don't have to go through sites one by one and compare prices. But the most important thing will be 2 times cheaper. Most often I take from Hertz, for some reason it turns out that way.
