For those navigating within Krabi town and nearby areas, songthaews—shared pickup trucks with bench seating—are a popular choice due to their affordability and convenience. Tuk-tuks, the quirky three-wheeled vehicles, offer a more private ride for short journeys, albeit at a higher cost. Local buses provide an alternative for longer trips outside the town, although they are less frequent and less geared towards tourists. When it comes to venturing further afield, long-tail boats are the go-to for island-hopping adventures, connecting Krabi with stunning spots like the Phi Phi Islands and Railay Beach. Many visitors also opt for motorbike rentals, which offer the freedom to explore at their own pace.
