Compare private drivers in Krabi. Choose from local drivers for Ao Nang and Railay days, the Emerald Pool and Hot Springs, Tiger Cave Temple and the island piers — with vehicles, daily rates and driver profiles side by side.

Krabi is where mainland Thailand meets the Andaman islands: limestone karsts, jungle pools and piers for some of the country's best boat trips. A private driver with an air-conditioned car covers the mainland half of the adventure.

Hiring a private driver in Krabi

Krabi's highlights are scattered between the mainland and the sea: Ao Nang and the Railay boats sit west of Krabi Town, the Emerald Pool and Hot Springs are an hour inland, and the Tiger Cave Temple stands alone to the north. Songthaews cover the main strip, but a private driver ties the inland sights and the piers into one easy day.

Full-day and half-day driver hire

A full day is normally around eight hours and suits an Emerald Pool plus Hot Springs loop or a temples-and-viewpoints day; half-days work for the Tiger Cave Temple and Krabi Town. Each driver sets their own daily rate, visible on their profile. The rate covers the vehicle, fuel and the driver's time; national park fees, boat trips and meals are separate.

Longer stays with the same driver

Many travellers book the same driver for their whole stay: the pier runs for the Phi Phi and Hong island boats, day trips inland, and the airport run at the end. Weekly bookings get 15% off the daily rate automatically, and 25% from 21 days.

Why travellers hire a driver in Krabi

  • The Emerald Pool, Hot Springs and Tiger Cave Temple are all inland and awkward by songthaew — a car covers them in a day.
  • Pier departures for the islands leave early; a booked driver gets you there on time.
  • Booking seven days or more earns 15% off the daily rate.
  • Local drivers know which beaches are quiet and the realistic timings between sights.
