Krabi is a scenic province located not far from Phuket, known for its untouched nature and a more relaxed atmosphere away from mass tourism. It lies to the east of Phuket and is quite easy to reach. The distance from Phuket to Krabi is about 200 km by land and 60 km by sea.

The most budget-friendly options are buses and minibuses. Both depart from Bus Terminal 2 in Phuket Town. The bus is comfortable but takes around 4 hours. The minibus is about an hour faster but less comfortable — choose this only if you’re traveling light. Ticket prices start from 150 THB and vary depending on the vehicle type and final destination (Krabi Town or Ao Nang). Buses run approximately every hour during the day until 5:00 PM.
