Full Description
Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Krabi Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Khao Lak. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Krabi Airport to Khao Lak route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Khao Lak is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Krabi Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Krabi Airport (KBV)
Krabi International Airport (KBV) is about 15 km from Krabi town and 30-40 minutes from Ao Nang; Koh Lanta is about two hours with the car ferry.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Krabi Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "KBV to Khao Lak" or "KBV airport transfer" land here for a reason: KBV is the airport code for Krabi Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Khao Lak.
Krabi Airport to Khao Lak at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Krabi Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak?
Travellers searching for "Krabi Airport to Khao Lak taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak is known before you land.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Khao Lak involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Khao Lak, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Krabi Airport runs mainly into Krabi itself: krabi has no rail or metro; airport buses, shared minivans and taxi counters serve Ao Nang and Krabi Town and suit one traveller with a light bag, but a private car is simpler for families, for Klong Muang and Tubkaek, for the piers, and for the long roads to Khao Sok, Khao Lak and Phuket. Reaching Khao Lak from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
So the honest comparison for Khao Lak is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Khao Lak
Khao Lak lies on the Andaman coast of Phang Nga province, about 145 km north of Krabi Airport and roughly 70 km north of Phuket Airport. Khao Lak is a long, relaxed strip of beach resorts along Phang Nga's Andaman coast, backed by rainforest hills. Its wide, pale beaches run from Nang Thong and Bang Niang to the quieter Khuk Khak and Pakarang coasts, with a calm, family-friendly mood and far less nightlife than Phuket. Many visitors use it as the base for boat trips to the Similan Islands in the dry season, and the nearby Khao Lak - Lam Ru National Park offers waterfalls and jungle walks. Small markets, cafés and seafood restaurants line the main road, and the old town of Takua Pa is a short drive north.
Things to do in Khao Lak
Once you have checked in, Khao Lak is worth exploring: Long, quiet beaches, Boat trips to the Similan Islands, Khao Lak - Lam Ru National Park, Family-friendly resorts and Relaxed seafood and market dining. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.
Krabi itself is within reach for a day: Khao Phanom Bencha waterfall, Railay Beach and Phra Nang Cave Beach and Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Khao Lak
Where visitors stay in Khao Lak: Nang Thong and Bang Niang, Khuk Khak, Pakarang coast resorts and Bang Sak. Our Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.
Khao Lak's resorts are spread along about 25 km of coast; give us your hotel name so we drop you at the right end of the strip.
Meeting your driver at Krabi Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Krabi Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Krabi Airport.
Our vehicles for the Khao Lak transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Krabi Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Khao Lak transfer
The Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer suits anyone who values a plan: honeymooners heading for a hotel with more luggage than they admit, parents travelling with small children, friends sharing a Sprinter, colleagues on a work trip who need an invoice, and grandparents who would rather be met than find their own way. Because the price is per vehicle, the more of you there are the better it compares with taxis and tickets.
If your trip continues beyond Khao Lak - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Krabi Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Khao Lak transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Khao Lak. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Krabi Airport
Give us the exact name of your hotel, since Ao Nang, Nopparat Thara and Klong Muang lie in different directions, and for Railay, Phi Phi or Koh Lanta send your boat time so we plan the pickup around it.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Krabi Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
Khao Lak to Krabi Airport: the return transfer
The same service runs the other way. For a Khao Lak to Krabi Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Krabi Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
On departure day the desk suggests a pickup time from Khao Lak based on your flight and the traffic expected at that hour, and confirms it in writing; if you would like to leave earlier for last-minute shopping or a meal near Krabi Airport, that is arranged in the same message.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Khao Lak transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Krabi Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name. We send you the exact meeting place, the driver's name and a phone number with your WhatsApp confirmation, so there is nothing to work out when you land at Krabi Airport.
How far is Khao Lak from Krabi Airport, and how long does the transfer take?

Khao Lak's resorts are spread along about 25 km of coast; give us your hotel name so we drop you at the right end of the strip.
Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak?
Compare the whole cost, not the starting fare. A taxi from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak adds the meter in traffic, a night rate and sometimes tolls; the private transfer is one figure agreed in writing before you fly, whatever the traffic does. For anyone not travelling alone with a small bag, that figure is normally the cheaper one.
What is the best way to get from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak?
With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes. Public transport can work for a solo traveller with a small bag, but it means tickets, transfers and stairs; an airport taxi means the meter. A private car takes you straight to your hotel in Khao Lak.
Is there a bus, train or metro from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak?
Krabi has no rail or metro; airport buses, shared minivans and taxi counters serve Ao Nang and Krabi Town and suit one traveller with a light bag, but a private car is simpler for families, for Klong Muang and Tubkaek, for the piers, and for the long roads to Khao Sok, Khao Lak and Phuket. For most visitors the private transfer is simpler: it starts at the arrivals door and ends at the hotel, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
What happens if my flight to Krabi Airport is delayed?
Normal delays are covered when you choose flight tracking: the driver arrives at your real landing time and waits up to 60 minutes. A delay of more than 5 hours, or a fixed-time booking, cannot be rescheduled at the last minute because other transfers are booked before and after yours - message us early and we do our best.
Do you meet late-night and early-morning flights?
Yes. The Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer runs around the clock, and our WhatsApp desk is answered day and night. Tell us the flight number and we plan the pickup for the real arrival time, whatever the hour.

If you are unsure, tell us how many passengers and bags you have and we recommend the right one.
Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Always private. We do not run shared shuttles: the car or van from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak carries your party only, leaves when you are ready, and goes straight to your address.
Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
Yes. The fixed price for the Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel, road tolls, airport parking and up to 60 minutes of waiting after your flight lands (90 at some airports). There is nothing to pay the driver on the day unless you have added something to the booking.
Can we stop on the way from Krabi Airport to Khao Lak?
Usually, yes - a short stop for a shop, a sim card or a photo is no problem if you mention it when booking, and a longer stop or a sightseeing detour is quoted as part of the same transfer. Tell the desk what you have in mind and they confirm it in writing.
How far in advance should I book the Krabi Airport to Khao Lak transfer?
As soon as you have your flight - it takes a minute on WhatsApp and secures the vehicle you want. Same-day and next-day bookings are often possible too; message the desk with the flight number and they will tell you at once whether a car is available.

Send us four things - flight number, date, how many of you, and the hotel in Khao Lak - through the form on this page or directly on WhatsApp. You get a written confirmation with the fixed price, the vehicle and the meeting point at Krabi Airport, usually within minutes.

Yes, through the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the change is requested, so our team explains exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment.
Which language does the driver speak?
It depends on the country, the city and the time of your transfer, so we do not promise a particular language for the driver on the Krabi Airport to Khao Lak route. Tell us on WhatsApp which language you would prefer and we do our best to match it. The WhatsApp desk that confirms your booking and stays with you during the trip always works in Arabic and English, at any hour.
Can I book the return trip from Khao Lak to Krabi Airport as well?
