Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels at KBV Airport

  Overnight layover guide: sleeping options in the public area and the boarding area

Spending the night at the airport

Krabi Airport operates 24 hours but is a small facility and can be quite busy even at night, especially during high season (November-April). If you need to rest, it is advisable to bring headphones or earplugs and a blanket, as the air conditioning can be intense.

Where to rest: The best option is the arrivals hall, generally quieter than the departures areas and with several less busy corners. There are no designated rest areas or public beds. The VIP lounge (The Pearl Exclusive Lounge) offers more comfort, but closes at 11:00 pm and does not operate during the early morning. For those who need a more comfortable rest, hotels in Nua Khlong are just a few minutes away by taxi.

Luggage: There is a luggage storage service at Terminal 3, level 1, on the left when entering the departures hall (100 baht per piece per day). Keep in mind that this service may not be available during the early morning; check the schedule at the counter upon arrival.

Food and drinks: Food outlets close around 10:00 pm and reopen at 6:00 am. There are beverage and snack vending machines available during the night. It is advisable to get water and some food before the outlets close.

Wi-Fi: Free through the @AirportTrueFreeWiFi network, with 60-minute renewable sessions. You need to enter your name and email to connect.

Power outlets: Available at various points in the terminal; look for sockets next to the seats in the departures area.

 Hotels

Krabi Airport does not have hotels inside the premises. The closest options are in the village of Nua Khlong, a few minutes away by taxi, and are especially convenient for very early flights or night arrivals. Keep in mind that the immediate airport area is quiet but far from the beaches and main tourist offerings — to explore Ao Nang, Railay, or the islands, it is better to stay directly in those areas.
