Krabi Airport Car Hire (KBV)

Krabi Airport (KBV) is located 15 km northeast of Krabi town and is the gateway to one of Thailand's most scenic provinces with limestone cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and tropical islands. With 13 rental companies on-site, you'll always find a vehicle suited to your adventure along the Andaman Sea coast. Ao Nang, Krabi's most popular beach resort, is 30 km southwest of the airport and takes approximately 35 minutes to drive to.

Drive 43 km north to Ao Luk to experience mangrove kayaking and Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Seua) outside Krabi town – both are easily accessible by rental car without guided tours. Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, with waterfalls and jungle trails, is just 20 km from the airport via Route 4.

During high season (November–April) it's smart to book a rental car at least 3 days in advance. How long is the drive from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang? It's approximately 30 km and takes about 35–40 minutes to drive from the airport to Ao Nang via Routes 4 and 4034.
