Good to know before you go

Leaving Rassada Pier (Phuket)

Rassada is where most big ferries leave Phuket for Koh Phi Phi, Krabi and Koh Lanta. It is a working port with ticket counters, a waiting hall and food stalls, about 10 minutes from Phuket Town.

Arrive 45 minutes early in high season (November–April): the queue for luggage tags and the boarding gate moves slowly.

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.
