    This pier is the cheapest way to go to Railay. You can park your car or motorbike here but make sure to ask for the fee first. Ticket to Railay is 100 THB each trip which take 15-20 mins. Minimum pax on board is 6-10 people and they will leave the pier. Or no passengers you have to wait until their normal schedule. If you want a private boat is 600 THB for each trip.

    Here you find a pier where you can go to Railay beach, or tour too many of the beautiful islands in Krabi. The beach here did not impress me much.

    This beach is a quiet area. Obviously around the pier and where boats are moored is seems a little untidy. If you face the sea/ water and make a left turn you will find that is is in fact a lovely beach. There is few restaurants in the area.

    More a swamp than a beach. 2 piers for boats, too many boats around. Private boats on the long pier. Public boats on small pier. Not operating at all times. Be aware of last boat, late in aftermoon, by 6.30pm. Buy ticket on the pier, not on agency/company on main road 300m away. They can scam you. It happened on Ao Nam Mao beach agency the promised boat was not there and not even the lady who i talked to by noon. Boat at 100baht no more, a non-speaking english scammer tried to cheat on me, let hours run out and set to arrange me a private boat at 800baht to take me to Railay East

    Came here to get boat to Railay. 100 baht per ticket and schedule was basically every 2 hours starting from 9am with the last boat at 630pm. We showed up around 1pm and there were a lot of tourists, we ended up filling up two boats.

    If you are looking for a new place to hang out with your friends then Aonang has another 🏖️ and it is very beautiful. Manmohan, you should go for a walk.

    This is the pier with long-tail boats to take you to Railey Beach. Tickets cost (as of July 2022) 100 Baht per person - children 3 and under free. They operate like a bus service and depart when there's 7-10 people to go. That means your wait times may vary. There's no order though, some people will try and push to the front of the pier to get in the boat first. Boat ride is approx 10-15 minutes long.

  • 4/5 R .. 1 year ago on Google
    This is located on the east side of krabi. It is a proper pier to take longtail or speed boat to land on the east side railay (pronaunced as reh-leh) pier. The charges are 100 bhat PP in shared boat and 300 bhat PP for private boat. Normat timings are 8 AM to 6 PM and with extra charges after 6 PM to 10 PM. There is another way to reach railay west beach from Ao nang by boat but the landing in West beach in water, no pier. Could be trouble if some of you have baggage.

    Friendly staff: lady who is selling tickets is welcoming, boat drivers are helpful. Tickets are inexpensive. It’s such a relief after rude service in Ao Nang, I would totally recommend to anyone. 100 baht per person to Railay or 600 baht for a boat.

  • 2/5 Juan Carlos C. 4 months ago on Google • 176 reviews
    We where a bit late and needed to go to Railay (8pm) and this guy made us pay him 800 bath for a private boat, 3 minutes later a shared boat left with several people on it (paid 100 each), the arrived Railey at the very same time than us. My complain is because this guy knowing this, took advantage of the situation and charged us way more than needed. Tourism I guess.

    Where to go to get boat to Railay Beach. Easy from airport. Problem to return to airport. Well represented by taxi mafia. Also a very rude moo selling tickets at main road shack. I just booked a Grab car. Good luck!

  • 4/5 Tyrano 9 months ago on Google
    Mainly used as a hub to get to Railey. Boatmen were nice enough, but still have to be wary for travelers to not overpay

  • 5/5 Marina 11 months ago on Google
    Best price to take a boat to Railay beach from here. While you are waiting for the boat, you can have coffee in the cafe on the pier

  • 4/5 Md. Ariful M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Beach. Worth visiting and staying in the surrounding areas while in Krabi. But not great for swimming.

  • 5/5 Ian G. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem of a beach. Just a few resorts. 2 or 3 have bars on the beach. Any music is kept low. A really chilled out atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Nutnicha C (. 1 year ago on Google
    Ticket to Railay beach is 100 baht per 1 trip. The return ticket can buy at Railay east pier. It’s take 15-20 minutes to Railay beach. There are car parking at 50m before the pier and parking fee is 200 baht per night.

  • 5/5 Adel S. 1 year ago on Google
