Krabi to Khao Lak: How to Get There
Krabi and Khao Lak sit on opposite sides of the Andaman coast, and there is no direct ferry pier at Khao Lak, so this route is covered entirely by road transfer rather than boat. Travelers move between Krabi and Khao Lak by the available transport, departing from Krabi Town or Krabi International Airport and arriving at hotel drop-off points along Khao Lak's main strip, including the Bang Niang and Nang Thong areas. If you were looking for a ferry timetable, note that Khao Lak's own pier is used for offshore trips to the Similan Islands, not for passenger transport to or from Krabi.
Transport Options and Operators
our transport partners runs this corridor with a choice of shared minivan, coach, or private transfer, so you can pick based on how much flexibility you need. A private transfer is the most direct option, running door to door between your Krabi hotel and your Khao Lak accommodation, while shared minivans and buses usually route through Phang Nga or Phuket and may involve a change of vehicle. On board, expect onboard facilities depending on the operator and vehicle class you select.

When This Route Operates
The Krabi to Khao Lak transfer service runs during selected months of the year. If you are searching outside this window, the service will not be bookable yet; check back closer to the season, or consider a transfer via Phuket International Airport, which stays connected to Khao Lak year-round by road. Booking ahead is worth doing in peak weeks, since minivan and private transfer seats can sell out during the busiest travel days.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
