Flights to Krabi

Limestone towers rising out of turquoise water, long-tail boats nosing onto white sand and a relaxed town where evenings end at the night market: that is Krabi, a province on Thailand's Andaman coast that has become one of the easiest beach escapes from Singapore. Booking flights to Krabi puts Ao Nang, Railay, the Phi Phi Islands and Koh Lanta within reach, so you can plan a short weekend on the beach or a longer island-hopping trip.

About Krabi International Airport

Location

Krabi International Airport (KBV) sits on the main highway north-east of Krabi Town, on the mainland rather than on an island. Its position makes it a practical hub for the whole province: Krabi Town is the closest stop, Ao Nang and Klong Muang lie further west along the coast, and the piers for boats to the islands are a straightforward road transfer away.

Terminals

The airport handles both domestic and international traffic. Facilities are compact and easy to navigate, with check-in counters, cafés, currency exchange, SIM card booths and transport desks in the arrivals hall. If you arrive on an international flight, you will clear immigration here before stepping out into the Krabi heat.

Getting to and from the airport

Airport buses and shared minivans run towards Krabi Town and Ao Nang, and transport desks in arrivals sell tickets to hotels, piers and even Koh Lanta. Taxi counters in the arrivals hall sell rides at set rates, and ride-hailing apps also operate around Krabi. Many resorts can also arrange a pick-up, which is handy if you land late or travel with luggage and children.

Direct and Connecting Flights to Krabi

From Singapore you may be able to choose between direct flights to Krabi and itineraries that connect through Bangkok. Use the Direct filter in the search results to see non-stop options first, then compare them with connecting fares if your dates are flexible. A connection through Bangkok can also suit travellers who want a city stopover on the way to the beach.

Krabi has one airport, so there is no need to choose between terminals across town. If you are heading to Koh Lanta or the Phi Phi Islands, check the last boat or minivan departure before you pick an arrival time, because late arrivals may mean a night on the mainland first.

When to Fly to Krabi

Krabi has two clear seasons. From roughly November to April the Andaman Sea is calm, skies are mostly clear and boat trips run reliably, which is why this period sees the most visitors. The south-west monsoon arrives around May and lasts into October, bringing heavy but often short downpours and rougher seas that can cancel some island tours.

For Singapore travellers, demand for Krabi flights rises during the June and December school holidays, over Chinese New Year and on long weekends. If you can travel outside these peaks, the price chart on this page helps you spot the months and dates that tend to be better value, and a Price Alert will tell you when fares for your route move.

Popular Places in Krabi

Railay Beach

Cut off from the mainland by limestone cliffs, Railay can only be reached by boat. Its beaches are framed by sheer rock walls that draw climbers from around the world, while the lagoon viewpoint and Phra Nang Cave Beach reward anyone who explores on foot.

Ao Nang

Ao Nang is Krabi's busiest beach town, with a long promenade of restaurants, massage shops and tour agents. It is the main departure point for long-tail boats to Railay and the nearby islands, making it a convenient base for first-time visitors.

Phi Phi Islands

A ferry or speedboat ride from Krabi brings you to Koh Phi Phi Don and the dramatic bays of Phi Phi Leh. Snorkelling in clear water, viewpoints over twin bays and lively beach bars make it one of the most popular day trips in the province.

Tiger Cave Temple

Wat Tham Suea, north of Krabi Town, is known for its long staircase of more than a thousand steps up a limestone peak. At the top a golden Buddha statue looks out over rice fields, forests and the coastline, and the view is worth the climb in the cooler early morning.

Emerald Pool and Hot Springs

Inland Krabi hides a natural pool of clear green water in the Thung Teao forest, reached by a short boardwalk trail. Nearby hot springs let you soak in warm, mineral-rich water surrounded by jungle, a pleasant contrast to a day on the beach.

Where to Stay in Krabi

Ao Nang suits most travellers, with plenty of places to eat and easy boat connections. Railay is quieter and car-free, ideal if you want to be close to the cliffs and beaches once the day-trippers leave. Klong Muang and Tubkaek, north of Ao Nang, offer secluded stretches of sand and a slower pace. Krabi Town is the budget-friendly and local choice, close to the night markets and the ferry piers, while Koh Lanta appeals to families and those who want a longer island stay.

Food to Try in Krabi

Gaeng Som Pla

This sour southern curry is made with fish, tamarind and turmeric, often with green papaya or bamboo shoots. It is sharp, spicy and very different from the creamy curries of central Thailand.

Khao Mok Gai

Reflecting the strong Muslim influence in southern Thailand, this fragrant rice dish of spiced chicken cooked with turmeric and served with a sweet-sour dipping sauce is easy to find at markets and roadside stalls around Krabi.

Fresh Andaman Seafood

Grilled squid, prawns, crab and whole fish are the stars of Krabi's seafood restaurants and night markets. Order by weight, pick your cooking style and enjoy it with a bright chilli and lime dip.

Roti

Street carts in Ao Nang and Krabi Town fry flaky roti to order, served with banana and condensed milk as a sweet snack or with curry as a quick meal.
