Driving in Krabi from the airport

Leaving Krabi Airport, Highway 4 runs west toward Krabi Town and Ao Nang and south toward Trang and the Koh Lanta ferry. Thailand drives on the left and an International Driving Permit is required. The roads are good and flatter than Phuket, but watch for scooters, sudden monsoon rain and slow trucks on the rural stretches.

Useful rules

  • Drive on the left; International Driving Permit required with your licence
  • Speed: about 90 km/h on highways, 50-60 km/h in towns
  • Seatbelts compulsory; strict 0.5 mg drink-driving limit
  • Watch for scooters, monsoon rain and pier traffic near Ao Nang

Popular drives

From the airport, favourite trips lead to Ao Nang and Nopparat Thara beach, the Tiger Cave Temple near Krabi Town, the Emerald Pool and hot springs inland, and Khlong Muang and Tubkaak in the north. A car also makes the drive to the Koh Lanta ferries or north to Phang Nga and Khao Sok straightforward.
