Due to the booming tourist activities, Krabi Airport was set up in the outskirts of the Krabi town during the beginning of the millennium. In itself, the town is a capital of the province of Krabi and the major mode of transport is the road. There are several islands that compose the coastal towns, which can be accessed by boats or a kayak.
As a tourist, the most appropriate time to travel should be between the months of October and April when the climatic conditions are mostly dry and favorable. Otherwise, the rest of the year is characterized by heavy monsoon rainfall, which keeps people indoors, residents and tourists alike. In addition, renting a car during the rainy season will not be an option, as the roads up the rugged terrains tend to be impassable. During the dry months, hiring a car will add to the efficiency of your travel around the town to enjoy the wonders of nature.
Hire a car at the company booths located at Krabi Airport arrivals, and remember that you must have the necessary documentation that indicates your fitness and qualification to drive. Should you lack any, there are numerous local professional drivers ready t be your company to the city centre and other tourist attraction sites.
