Taxi from Krabi Airport to Ao Luek
Ao Luek is a green inland district north of Krabi, with rubber plantations, limestone caves and jungle walks. It is not a beach destination, and that is the point: it is cheap, quiet and close to the national parks and to Phang Nga Bay. Few taxis go there, so a pre-booked car takes the stress out of getting there.
