For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Krabi
- Carry travel insurance with medical cover. Krabi Town has public and private hospitals, but treatment is paid for at the time, and serious cases may need transfer.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
