Travel

From Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the quickest and easiest way to reach us is to fly directly to Krabi International Airport. If you fly into Phuket International Airport, you will need to make an additional transfer either by ferry, speedboat or car taxi; this will add 2-3 hours to your arrival.

We can arrange a taxi to pick you up from Krabi Airport or Phuket Airport. You will be transferred to Ao Nang or Ao Nam Mao (depending on the weather/season), where a long-tail boat will bring you to Railei Beach.

If you book arrival trnasport with us, a staff member will meet you on the beach to help you transport your luggage and show you to the office. If you arrive after our office has closed, our staff will bring you directly to your house. It's best to arrive at Railei with only the luggage you need for your stay. The Bangkok Airport has a left luggage room where you can deposit extra bags which you won't need. Coming to Railei at low tide can sometimes be a bit tricky.

Traveling to Railei by long-tail boat is easiest at high tide. Those
traveling with children and the elderly should make all efforts to do so,
especially between May and October. Please go to the Tide
Chart
for this information.

**If you have a late-night lay-over in Bangkok we can recommend and make a booking for you at the Regent Suvarnabhumi Hotel or the Queen's Garden Resort, which are 5 minutes from the BKK airport.

If the group prefers to continue "celebrating" we ask that you move the party to one of the bars on Railei outside of Railei Beach Club.
