Good to know before you go
Leaving Ao Nang
Ao Nang is the busiest beach town on the Krabi coast and the easiest place to stay if you want boats to Railay, Koh Phi Phi and the Hong islands. Ferries leave from Nopparat Thara Pier at the western end of the beach, and longtail boats to Railay leave straight from the sand.
Most Ao Nang tickets include a free shared pick-up from your hotel to Nopparat Thara. Be in the lobby 30 minutes before the time on the ticket.
Arriving in Railay
Railay is on the mainland, but limestone cliffs cut it off from the road, so every arrival is by boat. Ferries between Ao Nang, Phi Phi and Lanta stop off Railay and passengers transfer by longtail, so expect to wade or climb down to a small boat with your bags.
Pack light: transfers to and from the big ferry are by longtail and you carry your own luggage across the boats.
Weather and season
Best November to April, when the sea is calm. From May to October the south-west monsoon brings swells; big ferries keep running but many speedboat island-hops stop.
