Koh Lanta to Railay Destination Reviews

JK
Unexpected Super Service! What surprised me most is that a member of the organization took my 25 kg suitcase put it on his shoulder and carried it for me all the way until arrival at the taxi. The trip itself was comfortable

There was no communication at the pier. We left last, after all the other boats, 40 minutes late. The reason why is because they separated the travelers into 2 boats according to their destination and we arrived “only” 15 minutes late as we didn’t stop along the way to usual stops. Everyone would have been more understanding and relaxed if this was explained at the pier.

The operator put us under aluminum roof and kept us there for over 30 minutes in the middle of the day, during this heat season, we all got heat stroke! The guy who was supposed to help me get in the boat, was actually pushing me in, I have a serious back problems, he made it worse… We are all very ill today and i would never recommend to use this operator again
