Transportation in Thailand • Bus Service:

• The advanced bus service is one of the major concerns regarding transportation in Thailand. So far as long distance travel is concerned, buses are the major modes of transport. The VIP long distance buses are luxurious and tall, where as, the tourist buses are mostly colorful and bright looking..

• Taxi Service: Taxis are available for hire at the authorized Public Taxi Stand next to the Meeting Point south of the Arrival Hall in the International Passenger Terminal. Taxi drivers are only permitted to pick up passengers at these authorized stands and they are not allowed to offer their services to passengers in the terminal building.

• BTS sky train:

• The sky train BTS and the subway MRT. This is one of my favorite modes of travel. It's cheap, quick, air conditioned, clean and goes most of the places you need to be or nearby.

Krabi town

Krabi Town is charming, laid back, and very provincial. Tourism has arrived, but Krabi Town doesn't jump through hoops to bring in foreigners; as the main commercial and transit point for the province, it doesn't need to.
