Good to know before you go
Leaving 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.
Arriving in Phuket
Phuket is joined to the mainland by bridge, so most people arrive by air and use its piers to reach Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Phang Nga Bay. Big ferries leave from the east coast near Phuket Town, not from the beach resorts on the west side, so build the road transfer into your plans.
Allow 45–60 minutes by road from Patong or Karon to Rassada Pier. Many tickets include a hotel pick-up, so check before booking a taxi.
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.
