Koh Tao to Railay Destination Reviews

Every staff member gave me a different answer on the detailed itenerary. I needed to know, whether there’s a stop in Ao Nang or no, but with each change of transportation (3 in 6 hours) I got a different response not knowing where I’d end up

26 people crammed into a tiny room, it was carnage

Everything worked pretty flawlessly. The sleeper ferry is comfy, especially when not full. It does rock back and forth and up and down depending on the weather. Should usually be fine though, I slept pretty okay :) You should know that the boat to Railay just leaves whenermver there's enough people to make the trip so you wait there for awhile not knowing when things will happen but they usually do.

The sleeper ferry was fully booked but they added some mattress directly on the floor between some beds. But I slept unexpectedly well. One issue was that there weren't many indication on the ticket/reservation for what to do after the first ferry to find the minivan but some people helped us find the was. Great overall. We got to the destination early. First ferry is approximately 8h then a bus for around 3h and a long tail boat of 15-20min.
