Bus from Bangkok to Krabi every day at 18:00 (6 pm) from Bangkok Khao San Bus Stop. The bus trip takes 14 hours and 30 minutes and you arrive at Krabi Andaman Wave office at 8:30 ready to explore! The comfortable sleeping bus trip would only cost your 813 THB and save you a night in a hotel room.

Krabi town is a passing place for most of the travellers to head further to Railay beach, Ao Nang Beach, Phi Phi or Koh Lanta. It is the oldest town in Thailand which is named after the Thai word “sword” and not "crab" as most travellers think! Even though the big Crab statue and a huge number of seafood restaurants serving steamed, grilled or fried crab as the signature dish support this stereotype. Krabi Old Town is a cute little place with an amazing riverwalk with the view over the Krabi famous tall rocks which are popping out of the water just like from the Avatar movie. It is a great spot for the sunsets! If you are staying here for the weekend, the night weekend market in Krabi town can be a great idea. You will be surprised by all the variety of Thai street food, fruit smoothies and freshest seafood. Once visiting Krabi Town you might consider one day tour to the famous Tiger Cave with a long step walk all the way up the hill that many pilgrims take to clear their body and mind and to see Budda on top of the hill. The view from Tiger Cave is amazing so don't forget to bring your camera and some water as it gets hot!

Krabi Town has very developed transport connections to all the most famous and popular destinations in Thailand and it is faster and easier to get to the far getaways from the town after you spent some time exploring Krabi.
