Return journeyKrabi to Phuket Airport or accommodation
A direct arrival at your Krabi accommodation

Phuket and Krabi face the Andaman Sea, but the road journey travels around Phang Nga Bay rather than directly across the water. Your private vehicle leaves Phuket over the mainland bridge and continues through Phang Nga Province towards the agreed Krabi destination.

The Thai Limo arranges the journey around your actual hotel, resort or villa. For road-accessible properties in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Klong Muang or Tubkaek, the transfer continues to the agreed vehicle entrance.

Railay Beach and some island accommodation require a separate boat connection.

Your Phuket departure and Krabi arrival, connected

A private road transfer connects the agreed Phuket pickup with your Krabi accommodation without shared passenger collections or a change of road vehicle.

For airport arrivals, the pickup is planned around the flight details and confirmed meeting instructions. For hotel departures, the journey begins at the agreed property entrance.

The vehicle is selected around passengers, suitcases, strollers and any oversized equipment. Return transportation can be arranged at the same time.

The confidence of an all-inclusive flat rate

Your private transfer is priced for the actual Phuket pickup and Krabi destination. An airport-to-Ao Nang journey, a Patong-to-Klong Muang transfer and a Rawai-to-Tubkaek journey have different distances and road requirements.

The agreed quotation includes applicable fuel, tolls, parking and airport charges. Additional stops, waiting or a changed destination are quoted before approval.

Boat transfers, ferry tickets and island transportation are separate unless expressly included in your booking.

Your pickup & journey

Your pickup.
Your mainland journey.

Allow for the island departure, road travel through Phang Nga and the final approach to your Krabi accommodation.

Plan your private transfer
01Sarasin Bridge, Highway 4 and driving time

Phuket is connected to mainland Thailand by the Sarasin Bridge road corridor at the island's northern end. The road journey towards Krabi generally follows Route 402 north, crosses into Phang Nga Province and continues along Highway 4.

The route travels around Phang Nga Bay rather than crossing it by sea.

Many Phuket Airport or northern Phuket journeys to Ao Nang take approximately 2.5–3.5 hours. Departures from Patong, Kata, Karon or Rawai can take longer because the vehicle must first travel north through Phuket.

The exact distance and driving time depend on both addresses.

02Phuket Airport pickup and arrival formalities

Phuket International Airport (HKT) has domestic and international passenger facilities. The correct meeting location depends on the arriving flight and the arrangements confirmed for your booking.

Complete immigration where applicable, collect your luggage and follow the supplied meeting instructions.

Airport pickups include 90 complimentary minutes of waiting for international arrivals and 60 minutes for domestic arrivals. Your confirmation explains when the allowance begins and any additional waiting terms.

03Leaving Phuket and travelling through Phang Nga

The journey leaves Phuket through the northern bridge corridor before continuing across mainland Phang Nga Province.

The mainland route passes through areas of limestone scenery and connects with the highway network towards Krabi.

A direct transfer is planned around the agreed destination. Sightseeing detours, extended stops or additional destinations can be included when requested and quoted in advance.

04The final approach to Ao Nang and Krabi resorts

Krabi Town, Ao Nang, Klong Muang and Tubkaek are different destination areas.

Ao Nang is a coastal resort centre with hotels along the beachfront and surrounding roads. Krabi Town is farther inland along the Krabi River, while Klong Muang and Tubkaek lie northwest of Ao Nang.

The Thai Limo plans the final approach to the actual road-accessible property entrance.

05Railay Beach and boat connections

Railay Beach is separated from the mainland road network by limestone cliffs. A private car cannot drive directly to Railay accommodation.

Travellers staying at Railay generally continue by boat from an appropriate mainland departure point, depending on the resort, sea conditions and boat arrangements.

The Thai Limo can arrange the road transfer to the agreed mainland meeting location. Boat transportation is separate unless expressly included.

Your destination

Your coastal arrival.

These landmarks distinguish the main Krabi accommodation areas and help identify the correct final destination.

01Krabi Town

Nearby landmarks

Krabi River waterfront, Wat Kaew Korawaram and the central town area.

Your arrival

Krabi Town is not the same destination as Ao Nang. The agreed hotel address determines the final approach.

02Ao Nang Beach

Nearby landmarks

Ao Nang Beach, beachfront hotels and the main coastal resort district.

Your arrival

Your vehicle continues to the agreed hotel entrance rather than ending at a general Ao Nang transport stop.

03Nopparat Thara

Nearby landmarks

Nopparat Thara Beach and the coastal area northwest of central Ao Nang.

Your arrival

Accommodation in this area may use a different final approach from central Ao Nang Beach.

04Klong Muang

Nearby landmarks

Klong Muang Beach and nearby resort accommodation.

Your arrival

Klong Muang lies northwest of Ao Nang. The additional coastal approach is included when the destination is agreed.

05Tubkaek Beach

Nearby landmarks

Tubkaek Beach and coastal resorts overlooking the offshore islands.

Your arrival

Tubkaek is farther northwest along the coast. The exact resort entrance is used for drop-off planning.

06Railay Mainland Connections

Nearby landmarks

Ao Nang boat departure points and Ao Nam Mao Pier, depending on the onward arrangement.

Your arrival

Railay requires a boat connection. Confirm the departure point recommended by your accommodation before arranging the road transfer.

07Hotel Arrivals and Local Landmarks

Ao Nang Beach identifies Krabi's main coastal resort centre, while Krabi Town is a separate urban destination. Klong Muang and Tubkaek are quieter coastal resort areas farther northwest.

Railay is different again because the final journey requires a boat. Providing the exact hotel or resort name helps distinguish a direct road arrival from a road-and-boat itinerary.

The full transport comparison

Shared vans, buses and sea services may suit travellers who prefer scheduled transport and are comfortable managing their luggage and connections.

A private road transfer provides a vehicle reserved for your party and a journey arranged around the actual pickup and destination.

For Railay or island accommodation, compare the complete trip, including the required boat connection.

When a private transfer makes sense

A private vehicle is particularly useful for families, groups, travellers with large luggage and passengers staying outside the main transport centres.

It also helps when travelling directly from Phuket Airport to a road-accessible Krabi resort after a flight.

Good to know

Clear answers before your Krabi journey.

Route-specific answers about your pickup, luggage, return journey and agreed flat rate.

Many Phuket Airport or northern Phuket journeys to Ao Nang take around 2.5–3.5 hours. Departures from southern Phuket or journeys to more distant Krabi resorts may take longer.

Yes. Hotel and resort pickups can be arranged from these areas. Travel time includes the journey north through Phuket before crossing to the mainland.
