About the ride from Krabi to Bangkok

After a relaxing time spent in the beautiful Krabi, it’s time to continue your Thai adventure, and explore the world-famous vibrant Bangkok.

When traveling the 783 kilometer (487 mile) distance between Krabi and Bangkok, you have two options. The fastest transportation option is hopping on a plane. In less than two hours, you’ll arrive in the capital. Of course, flying from Krabi to Bangkok is a bit more expensive compared to other means of transport. Your other option is to travel on a sleeper bus. This is a great choice for those who want to save money on both accommodation and transportation. All buses leave from Krabi in the evening and take between 13 and 16 hours to arrive, so you’ll have plenty of time to catch up on your sleep.

No matter what time you arrive in Bangkok, there’s always something to do, because the city never sleeps. The capital of Thailand is a place rich with history and culture, which you can see both in the streets and the museums, temples, and palaces. To get to know Bangkok, dedicate some time to exploring these facets of the city.

 

What to see when traveling from Krabi to Bangkok

If you’re traveling on a plane, the weather is clear, and you grabbed the popular window seat, you’ll be able to enjoy beautiful views over the Gulf of Thailand, and the Andaman Sea. This is the perfect way to say goodbye to the paradise you’ve just spent some of your days in.

Those who are traveling on a bus will mostly be riding during the night, so there won’t be much to see outside of your window. Use this time to catch up on your sleep, so that you’ll have lots of energy for exploring Bangkok as soon as you arrive. If you’re one of those people who can’t relax and sleep on a moving vehicle, you can always finish your next blog post about Krabi, organize hundreds of photos you took, or read a book.

Once you arrive in Bangkok, you’ll be greeted by the city’s eclectic streets and energy. From here, you can go on to explore the city and try out some local food, or find a way to get to your accommodation. 

During your stay, make sure to visit some of the top attractions. Bangkok is a city rich with culture, and you can spend days exploring it and still find out new, exciting places. Start off with the beautiful Grand Palace. Spend some time learning in the Bangkok National Museum, Jim Thompson House Museum, and the Bangkok Art and Culture Center. Get to know the city’s religious side in Erawan Shrine, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun, and Wat Pho. When you get tired of walking around town, grab a drink in one of the city’s famous cocktail bars. 

If you want a day off to recharge your batteries, relax in one of the many green parks you can find everywhere around town.

No matter how long you’re staying in Bangkok, there’s always something new and exciting to do.
