Boat to Railay, Krabi

You can catch Long tail boats from Ao Nang beach to Railay.  There are 2 offices (one each at the ends of the beach) operated by 2 different companies.  I only visited West Railay (supposedly the prettier of the two) but there should be boats to East Railay and other places as well.  One way ticket to West Railay costs 100B.  Return ticket costs 200B.

Brutally frank:

Please don’t expect a wooden/ concrete jetty where you can gingerly step off onto the boat.  The boats are anchored on the beach and you have to wade out (the water can get hip-high) and climb into the boat.  Hold your electronics above head and pray for the best.

When travelling, expect continuous jets of water to spray onto you.  Through there are plastic curtains on the sides of the boat which you can lower to shield yourself from the water, no one does that as it blocks the views of the limestone crags. 

Bring a towel/ poncho/ whatever to shield your electronics.
