Krabi to Bangkok flight guide
Flying from Krabi to Bangkok
In short
Various airlines fly from Krabi to Bangkok, taking about 1 hour 15 minutes over a straight-line distance of about 651 km. Multiple airlines land at Suvarnabhumi (BKK); Nok Air, Thai AirAsia and Thai Lion Air at Don Mueang (DMK). Bangkok Airways will not operate the route between 10 December 2026 and 28 February 2027.
Begin with the clock. From Ao Nang to the airport is 30 to 40 km, roughly 40 minutes by car, and the airport bus takes longer because it runs through Krabi Town. From Railay, add the longtail boat to Ao Nang, which only runs in daylight and depends on the sea, so an early evening departure is the safest choice for Railay guests. From Koh Lanta, shared minivans with the ferry crossing take 2.5 to 3 hours.
Check-in on the third floor at Krabi
Krabi International Airport was reorganised in 2025. You enter through Terminal 1, check in on the third floor and board domestic flights from gates 8 to 14. Allow two hours, more in the November to April season. Food is limited once the cafés close at about 20:00, and Bangkok Airways passengers can use its Boutique Lounge.
Through-checked bags on Thai Airways to Suvarnabhumi
Flying home from Suvarnabhumi? Book Krabi to Suvarnabhumi on the same ticket if you can. Thai Airways flies 21 times a week this winter and checks bags through to its international network. Thai AirAsia and Thai VietJet Air also land at Suvarnabhumi, and the Airport Rail Link takes you to Phaya Thai in about 26 minutes.
Don Mueang is the cheaper landing for many travellers spending time in the city. Domestic flights arrive at Terminal 2, and the SRT Red Line next to the airport reaches Krung Thep Aphiwat in about 20 minutes. A free shuttle links the two airports for passengers with an onward ticket, but it can take two hours in traffic.
On the low-cost airlines your fare covers cabin baggage only; Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways include a checked bag in standard economy.
How busy is KBV?
Busy for its size. The 2.3 million passengers counted in 2023 put Krabi sixth among Thailand's airports, and the terminal now runs as two buildings with a third planned. Queues at the bag drop during the high season reflect those numbers, so the two-hour check-in advice is worth following.
