Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a ride?
We recommend booking your transfer or hourly hire service at least 72 hours in advance. If you don’t have that much time, you can request an urgent transfer — we’ll let you know as soon as possible whether we can confirm it.
What pick-up time should I specify for the transfer?
If your transfer starts from an airport or railway station, please specify your flight or train arrival time as the start of your transfer. This helps the driver organize the meeting more accurately.
If your transfer starts from a hotel to an airport, please indicate the time you wish to be picked up at reception. You’ll need to calculate it yourself, allowing extra time for check-in. We recommend adding about 3 hours before your flight’s departure. For example, if your flight leaves at 14:00 and the trip takes 1 hour, your pick-up time should be 10:00.
How do I know if my order has been accepted?
After submitting your booking, you’ll receive an email with all trip details and your order status as “Waiting”. Once we receive and confirm your payment, the status will change to “Accepted”, and you’ll receive another email confirmation.
If you don’t receive the confirmation email, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
How do I change my booking?
To make changes to your booking, please contact our support team at office@welcome.taxi.
Important note: Requests for changes made less than 72 hours before your trip may be declined.
How can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking in two ways:
- Via the booking page on our website — use the cancellation number provided in your booking voucher, at least 72 hours before the trip.
- By contacting our support team if it’s less than 72 hours before your ride.
Important note: In case of urgent cancellation, we may not be able to refund your deposit. The free cancellation period is stated in your confirmation email.
What should I do if my flight is delayed?
If your flight is delayed by less than 30 minutes, the driver will adjust their arrival time automatically.
If the delay is longer, please inform the driver directly (their phone number is in your confirmation voucher) or contact WelcomeTaxi Customer Support at office@welcome.taxi. Please include your order number and the new arrival time.
Important note: The driver may charge an additional fee for extended waiting time.
How will I find my driver?
For airport transfers, if you’ve added the meet-and-greet option to your order, the driver will meet you in the arrivals area — right after passport control and baggage claim. You’ll see a name sign with your first and last names (or custom text, if specified in your booking).
Important note: We strongly recommend adding the meet-and-greet option to your airport transfer booking.
For hotel pickups, the driver will wait for you in the hotel lobby. Detailed meeting instructions and your driver’s contact number are provided in your booking confirmation voucher.
How can I be sure that my driver will pick me up?
WelcomeTaxi guarantees that your driver will do their best to meet you on time.
Both you and the driver will have each other’s phone or WhatsApp number. Please keep your mobile phone switched on at the time of pickup. If you can’t reach the driver, contact our support team immediately.
I can’t find my driver. What should I do?
If you can’t find your driver, please double-check the name signs again — the driver may have missed you in the crowd.
Try calling or messaging the driver via WhatsApp. If there’s no response within the meeting time, contact our support team.
If necessary, go to the airport’s Information Desk to arrange a local taxi to your destination.
Important note: If the driver fails to meet you, we will refund your payment.

Airport Transfers and Chauffeur Service from Krabi Airport
Krabi International Airport (KBV) is the principal airport serving Krabi Province on the west coast of southern Thailand. Located close to Krabi Town, the airport is an important arrival point for travelers heading to the mainland resorts of the Andaman coast as well as passengers continuing toward islands and neighboring provinces.
WelcomeTaxi provides pre-booked private airport transfers from Krabi Airport to hotels, villas, resorts, ferry piers and other destinations throughout Krabi Province. Chauffeur service and long-distance transportation can also be arranged for journeys extending beyond the immediate Krabi area.
Getting from Krabi Airport to Krabi Town
Travelers arriving at KBV can choose between taxis, shared minivans, buses, rental cars and private transfers. These options suit different budgets and itineraries, although convenience can vary considerably depending on the final destination and the amount of luggage passengers are carrying.
Krabi Town is relatively close to the airport, making a direct road transfer straightforward. A pre-booked private vehicle is particularly convenient after a long flight because the journey is arranged before arrival and passengers can travel directly to their hotel or accommodation without waiting for a shared vehicle or making additional stops for other passengers.
Private Transfers to Ao Nang
Ao Nang is one of the most important visitor destinations in Krabi Province and a common destination for passengers arriving at KBV. The resort area serves as both a beach destination and a departure point for boat journeys around the surrounding coast and islands.
A private airport transfer provides door-to-door transportation directly to an Ao Nang hotel, apartment or resort. This can be especially useful for families, larger groups and travelers with several pieces of luggage. Instead of arranging transportation after landing, the vehicle and destination are confirmed in advance.
Transfers to Klong Muang, Tubkaek and Krabi Resorts
Krabi’s accommodation is spread across a wide coastal area rather than concentrated in a single resort center. Travelers may therefore need transportation considerably farther than Krabi Town itself.
Private transfers from KBV can be arranged to Klong Muang, Tubkaek and other coastal resort areas north and west of Ao Nang. Direct transportation is particularly useful for guests staying at secluded resorts where scheduled public transportation is limited or would require several connections.
When booking transportation to a resort, it is helpful to provide the complete hotel name rather than only the name of the beach or district. Many properties are located outside the centers of the better-known resort areas.
Connections to Railay and the Islands
Some of Krabi’s best-known destinations cannot be reached entirely by road. Railay is approached by boat, while islands such as Ko Phi Phi and Ko Lanta involve onward sea or ferry connections depending on the itinerary.
A private airport transfer can be used for the road portion of these journeys, taking passengers from KBV to the appropriate pier or embarkation point. Travelers should check their boat or ferry departure time before arranging the airport pickup, allowing sufficient time between the flight arrival and the onward connection.
For travelers arriving late in the day, it is also worth checking whether their intended boat connection is still operating. In some cases, an overnight stay on the mainland may be more practical before continuing the journey the following morning.
Chauffeur Service in Krabi
WelcomeTaxi chauffeur service is suitable for travelers who require more than a simple airport-to-hotel transfer. A vehicle with a professional driver can be arranged for business appointments, private sightseeing, hotel-to-hotel journeys or itineraries involving several stops during the same day.
This type of service can be useful in Krabi because many attractions, hotels, beaches and activity locations are distributed over a large area. Keeping the same transportation arrangement can simplify a day that would otherwise involve repeatedly finding local taxis or organizing separate transfers.
English-speaking drivers are particularly helpful for international visitors coordinating complex itineraries, meeting points and longer journeys across southern Thailand.
Long-Distance Transfers from Krabi Airport
Krabi Airport can also be used as the starting point for private long-distance transfers to destinations beyond Krabi Province. Road transportation can be arranged toward Phang Nga, Phuket and other locations across southern Thailand.
A private long-distance transfer is useful when the destination is not conveniently connected to KBV by direct public transportation. Passengers travel from the airport to their final address in one vehicle rather than combining an airport bus, regional coach and local taxi.
Long-distance service can also suit travelers whose itinerary begins in Krabi but continues through several destinations. For more complex travel plans, a chauffeur or daily service can provide additional flexibility for stops, sightseeing and hotel changes.
Krabi Airport to Phuket
Krabi and Phuket are neighboring tourism regions on Thailand’s Andaman coast, and travelers often combine both destinations in a single trip. Phuket International Airport (HKT) is another major international gateway in the region.
Private road transportation can be arranged between the Krabi region and Phuket, including Phuket hotels and Phuket International Airport. This can be useful for open-jaw itineraries where passengers arrive through KBV but depart from HKT, or vice versa.
Because the journey covers a substantial part of the Andaman region, travelers should allow generous time when connecting to a departing flight and take normal road conditions into account.
Why Pre-Book Instead of Taking a Regular Taxi?
A regular airport taxi can work well for a simple journey, particularly when passengers are traveling light and heading to a common destination. Pre-booking becomes more attractive when the journey involves a specific resort, a larger party, substantial luggage or a longer route.
With a private transfer, the pickup, destination, passenger count and vehicle requirements are arranged before the journey. Travelers do not need to organize their onward transportation after arriving at the terminal, and appropriately sized vehicles can be requested for families or groups.
This is particularly relevant in a leisure destination such as Krabi, where accommodation ranges from central hotels to isolated beachfront resorts and where many travelers are coordinating airport arrival with an onward boat or ferry connection.
Private Transportation for Families and Groups
Families and groups often require more space than a standard passenger car can comfortably provide. Depending on the number of travelers and luggage, WelcomeTaxi transfers can be arranged with suitable sedans, SUVs, vans or larger vehicles.
Booking one vehicle for the entire group helps passengers arrive together and avoids dividing luggage and travelers between several taxis. It is also useful for airport transfers to villas, wedding venues, resorts and ferry terminals where coordinated arrival is important.
Useful Travel Information for KBV Arrivals
Krabi is one of southern Thailand’s major leisure destinations, so seasonal demand can be significant. Travelers arriving during popular holiday periods should consider booking onward transportation in advance, particularly when a van or other larger vehicle is required.
Passengers should provide their correct flight details, passenger numbers, luggage requirements and complete destination information when booking. For onward ferry or boat journeys, the pier and departure time should also be checked carefully before the airport transfer is scheduled.
Private transportation is especially convenient when the final destination is outside Krabi Town or Ao Nang. A direct vehicle can take passengers straight from the airport to their resort, pier or next destination without unnecessary changes along the way.
Book a Private Transfer from Krabi International Airport
WelcomeTaxi offers international private transfer and chauffeur services from Krabi International Airport (KBV) to Krabi Town, Ao Nang, coastal resorts and destinations throughout southern Thailand.
Whether you need a straightforward airport transfer, transportation to a ferry connection, a chauffeur for the day or a long-distance journey toward Phuket or another destination, pre-booking provides a convenient way to organize your transportation before arriving in Thailand.
