Good to know before you go
Leaving Koh Ngai
Koh Ngai (also written Koh Hai) is a small island with a handful of resorts along one long beach and very clear water. Boats drop guests at resort piers or on the beach.
Tell the boat crew the name of your resort when you board so they drop you in the right place.
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.
