Transport types explained
- Avia

- Bus
- Coach leg by road, used when part of the trip runs overland.
- Charter
- Speedboat or charter — the fastest crossing, with fewer seats and a higher fare than the ferry.
- Ferry
- Larger boat, lowest fares and the steadiest ride — slower, but takes the most passengers (often vehicles too).
- Van
- Minivan transfer — often the hotel or town pick-up leg of a combined ticket.

Departing Krabi
Arriving Phuket
The Krabi to Phuket route spans two of southern Thailand's most visited provinces, and we offer several ways to make the journey. Departure points on the Krabi side include Ao Nang Pier, Klong Jilad Pier, and Krabi Town, while arrivals into Phuket come into Rassada Pier or Chalong Pier depending on your chosen service. With well over 300 departures a day through the season, there's almost always a seat on the next connection.
What to expect on the journey
Many services combine a van or coach transfer with the ferry crossing — a practical approach given that Krabi Town sits inland from the coast. The ferry leg itself crosses the Andaman between Krabi's piers and Phuket's east coast; the sea is calmest and the ride smoothest during the November-to-April dry season. Morning departures are popular and generally give you the full day on arrival.
Fares start from around THB 243. We recommend booking ahead during peak season (December through March) when demand on this corridor is high. Check departure times carefully — the first services from Ao Nang Pier leave as early as 06:00.
