        "question": "What is the typical flight duration from Krabi to Bangkok?",
        "answer": "A nonstop flight from Krabi (KBV) to Bangkok’s Don Mueang (DMK) typically takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. Airlines like Thai AirAsia serve this route directly. Flights with layovers are uncommon on this short domestic route."

        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Krabi to Bangkok?",

      },
      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bangkok?",
        "answer": "From Don Mueang Airport (DMK), taxis are the most-used option, with metered fares to central Bangkok around 200–220 THB plus a 50 THB surcharge. A cheaper alternative is the public bus (routes 29, 554, 555) for just 18–23 THB, though it can be slower. The Mo Chit BTS Skytrain and MRT subway stations are a short taxi or bus ride away, offering a fast rail connection once you reach them. Car rentals are available on-site, but driving in Bangkok traffic is rarely the fastest choice. For the quickest trip, take a taxi directly to your destination, or combine a bus to Mo Chit with the BTS/MRT to bypass road congestion.",
