Car
If you are driving from Krabi Town, head west on Route 4 (Phetkasem Road) towards Ao Nang. Continue on Route 4 for approximately 15 kilometers. Once you reach the Ao Nang area, follow the signs for Ao Nang Beach. About 1 kilometer after entering Ao Nang, look for signs directing you to the Mountain Buddha Temple (Wat Phu Khao Bodhi). The temple is located off the main road, and you will need to turn onto a smaller road that leads up to the temple. Parking is available at the site.
Public Transportation
From Krabi Town, you can take a songthaew (shared taxi) to Ao Nang. The fare is usually around 50-100 THB per person. Once you arrive in Ao Nang, you can either walk or hire a tuk-tuk to reach the Mountain Buddha Temple. If you choose to walk, it is about a 2 kilometers distance from the Ao Nang beach area, so allow yourself about 30 minutes to walk. Tuk-tuk fares may vary, but expect to pay around 100-150 THB for a short ride to the temple. Make sure to confirm the price before starting your journey.
Taxi
Taxis are readily available in Krabi Town and Ao Nang. You can hire a taxi directly to the Mountain Buddha Temple. The fare from Krabi Town to the temple is approximately 300-400 THB, while from Ao Nang it should be around 200-300 THB. It’s advisable to negotiate the price beforehand or ensure the meter is used. Taxis can drop you off at the temple entrance, making it a convenient option if you prefer not to walk or take public transport.
