Railay to Phuket Destination Reviews

AC
This was not a direct ferry via speedboat as was advertised. Our purchase stated 70 min trip and this was 2.5 hours with multiple stops.

Ride was fast, perfect in time. The sea was calm, so the ride in this powerful boat was very nice. At the pier taxi was already waiting!

The boat showed up early, the boat left early, by 10 minutes. I was standing at the base of East Railay Pier for 30 minutes, then some guy said "Where you go?" He took a picture of my phone voucher, a picture of me, pointed at the boat as it came in and said "Lets go" And we did.

The boat was clean, comfortable and on time. Much better than some of the other big boats.

The taxi people at the exit door is a racket - not representative of taxi services a mere 60 second walk out on the street. They wanted 900 Baht for my ride, even pointing to a board with ‘pricing’ - NEVER fall for that. After scoffing at my offers, my cost was 500 Baht:)

More stops than expected, so more then half an hour later arrival. Also very bumpy. But you get used to it, after to hours.
