Getting to Ao Nang

The most direct way to get to Ao Nang is to fly into Krabi Airport and transfer from there to Ao Nang. You can plan on it taking around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on where in Ao Nang you're staying. A taxi (private car) transfer will set you back about 500 Baht (about US$ 15), while a van (shared taxi) will cost about 200 Baht (US$ 10). Check with your hotel, since some of the more luxe resorts may include free transfers with the room.

You can also reach Ao Nang by boat from Phi Phi Don Island. In the rainy season from June to September the seas can be quite rough.
