Below is some handy transport information if you wish to stay in Railay
- Railay is located approximately 50 minutes from Krabi Airport, or 2 hours from Phuket Airport. Many of the resorts in Railay can organize transfers from both airports, with advanced notice.
- However, it’s relatively easy to reach Railay from Krabi Airport without hotel assistance – there are plenty of shuttle service companies waiting in arrivals, who will take you to Ao Nam Mao Pier for around 150-200 Baht. From here, you can catch a quick longtail boat directly to the East beach.
Krabi Airport has just been renovated, becoming a little international hub, with flights coming in daily from KL and Singapore. There are several flights daily to (and from) Bangkok on Thai Smile (Airways) and Air Asia. An airport bus leaves after every flight that comes in. If you tell the operators that you are going to Railay they usually drop you at a point in Ao Nang or Aonamao and help organize a long-tail boat for you.
- The airport bus usually takes about 45 minutes, the long-tail about 10 minutes.
If you are in Krabi Town, you can go to Chao Fa pier. They have boats to Railay but you could be waiting a while. You need 8 people to go or pay the equivalent of 8 people.
We recommend taking a songthaew or taxi to Ao Na Mao Pier or Aonang Beach. Here, the boats are a lot more frequent. If you have a lot of luggage, it will be a lot easier to leave from Ao Na Mao as there is a floating pier on both sides. From Aonang, it’s worth noting that you must get onto and off the longtail from the beach (knee deep water) – you will get a little wet and have to carry your luggage.
- Ao Na Mao Pier is located 10 minutes from Ao Nang and is used a lot in low season as the seas are calmer on this side. At this pier, there are regular scheduled leaving times. In-between those times, they will leave once there are 8 people. The last scheduled boat is at 06:30 pm but you can still get to Railay after this time. The boatmen are here most of the night, so you can reach Railay at almost any time – you just need to pay private which, might be around B1000 for the boat.
- Ao Nang has several launch points to Railay, the main one is on the corner just past Vacation Village Resort, near Ao Nang’s main beach. Service is constant through high season. In low season, you might wait a while depending on the seas – if this is the case, you may need to head to another pier near Noppatara Beach or to Ao Na Mao.
