A safer and more scenic journey

A 55 million baht road widening programme in Krabi is more than half way to completion. The stretch of main road between Klong Chilat and Klong Muang has been widened to allow four lanes of traffic. Cones and lights have also improved the road, allowing motorists a more relaxing journey between the beach resort and town.

Anyone who has made the journey from Krabi to Ao Nang by songthaew will remember the experience to have been a little hair-raising, despite the stunning scenery. Now drivers and passengers have more opportunity to enjoy the forest-topped karsts, pineapple fields and rubber plantations as the road is much less dangerous.

If you are driving yourself, it is still very important to be cautious. Road accidents are very common due to the hazardous nature of drivers in the region. Always wear a helmet and drive with extreme caution.
