If you are arriving at Krabi Aiport you may want to think about how to transfer you, your family and friends safely to another one of Thailand’s Great destinations.
We have improved our service with Taxi transfers from Krabi airport which will take you direct to your hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Khlong Moung, Trang and Koh Lanta. These Taxi’s can also be booked from your hotel to transport you back to the Airport.
To keep the taxi spacious they can accommodate up to 6 guests.
If you are heading to Koh Lanta from any of these destinations then you can also transfer direct from your hotel to your new koh Lanta Hotel by minivan.
If you want to arrive a little bit more quicker check out our Express Transfer Service which includes minivan and speedboat travel. This service misses out the ques for the car ferries and can save up to several hours in the high season.

Klong Nin is a small village situated in the middle of Koh Lanta. It’s around 15 km or a half hour drive from the main village of Saladan. The fine white sandy beach stretches for several kilometers and maintains a tranquil, relaxed, laid back atmosphere. The sea is great for swimming in and all along the beach you will find Koh Lanta’s famous Umbrella Tree (bai toey). With the surrounding mountains and tropical rain forest it makes for some breathtaking scenery.
Below are useful links to hotels and private villas on Klong Nin Beach which we recommend. Click on any link to view more photos, read guest reviews and book online:
Accommodation on Klong Nin Beach is widely varied. From simple very cheap backpacker style huts to the 5 Star Luxury Resort and Spas. A lot of the cheaper places are now investing in swimming pools. Our Klong Nin hotel recommendations are above and you can see a complete overview of Klong Nin luxury, midrange and budget hotels further down this page or on our Klong Nin Hotels on Koh Lanta page.
All along the beach you will find numerous beach bars and a variety of restaurants one in particular – Blue Moon Bar – is well worth checking out. Some of the beach bars are great for watching the amazing sunsets and in a few you don’t have pay for your drinks that day. It is that sort of trustworthy friendliness that makes a holiday reallu special.
If you leave the beach you can walk around Khong Nin’s village. This has many more restaurants to choose from and a lot of ATMs, Pharmacies, Clothes shops, Internet Cafes and Travel Agents. Also you will find a few places selling hand made Jewelery.
A very good restaurant on the road is Cook Kai, the Thai food here is amazing and the chef can make the food to your taste just let them know. Don’t miss outside the Rawi Warin Resort they have Auntie Mae’s Bakery with an amazing selection of cakes, ice cream and coffees. Above this you have a sports bar which has a great roof top terrace and to the right of Auntie Mae’s a nice gift shop.

Looking north on Klong Nin Beach
Klong Nin is also closest to Koh Lanta’s Old Town which is found on the East Side of the Island. Here time has stood still and you can find Lanta’s only hospital and the Sea Gypsy Village. There is also the Hammock House with designer hammocks bought from all over Asia which you can purchase. On the way to Old Town you will see how Thais really live as there is very little development on this side of the island. Also check out Viewpoint Restaurant, a short motorbike ride or tuktuk ride away. The view and scenery here are the best on Koh Lanta.
