But on the way back we were not satisfied because it stopped for half an hour at the next station and we were not feeling well from the heat. We are two people, aged 67 and 71, and this heat was not suitable for us, but they were waiting for an extra passenger and took 11 passengers on board. It was supposed to leave at 3 o'clock, but it left 7 minutes early and was in Phuket at 4:10, but it was in Phuket at 4:30. That means we were in that bad heat for half an hour and when we arrived we were not feeling well and we were overheated.

Phuket (Rassada) to Krabi (Railay Beach - East) ferry: Air conditioned ferry (comfortable and quiet) and staff clearly pointed me in the right direction. Beware there is a connection from the larger ferry to a small long tail boat for the final stretch of the journey. Staff help with luggage. Lots of places to grabs snacks, food/drinks at the ferry terminal. Small shop and toilet onboard. Note - voucher is not your ticket. You have to check in with the ferry operator and collect tickets at the terminal. Well signposted.

Ferry did not take us direct to Railay East. Chaos at transfer onto longboat & having to carry heavy luggage was really bad.

Very fast boat, but extremely hot and without air conditioning. The drivers had a box with cold water; we asked for one because the heat was unbearable, but they refused and laughed at us while drinking it themselves. On similar boats, you’re usually offered cold water upon boarding.

unpleasant staff. The ferry was in very poor condition. We departed more than half an hour late. No one informed us whether we would stop first at Ao Nang or Railay. It turned out that (without any prior notice) we had to transfer to a longtail boat. They tried to drop us off on Railay West, even though our booking was for the East Pier, specifically because it has a floating dock. We told the boat staff that our ticket was for the East Pier, and at first they didn’t want to take us there—until we realized that everyone on the boat wanted to go to the same place, and they had no choice but to take us We were supposed to arrive at 3:15 PM and ended up arriving at 5:00 PM. Overall: very poor communication, poorly maintained boats, and inattentive staff. I would have preferred a speedboat from any other provider.
