Koh Yao Yai to Railay Destination Reviews

Sonya

No announcement for our stop and such a short time docked we weren't able to get off the boat before they pulled away. Boat staff were made aware but we had to continue on to the next stop 45 minutes later and subsequently buy a new ticket back to our original destination which wasted multiple hours of our day and nearly doubled the cost. The supervisor on the phone said the so was announced and we chose not to get off the boat which is untrue.

Easy to book. Taxi on time. Everything worked well except to many people on the same boat!!!! It didn’t feel comfortable or safe.
