Private Transfer from Phuket to Railay via Ao Nang

A private transfer from Phuket to Railay costs ฿5,500 in a Toyota Commuter or ฿11,000 in a Toyota Alphard per vehicle, one way, including the driver, fuel, tolls and drinking water, dropping you at Ao Nang beach where the longtail boats to Railay leave. The drive is about 185 km and takes around 2.5–3 hours, with pickup at Phuket International Airport (HKT) or hotels in Phuket. Railay has no road access because limestone cliffs cut it off, so the last leg is a longtail ride of about 10–15 minutes from Ao Nang; the boat is not included. Book on LINE @kingtocar or call 084-709-3719.

Travel tips for this route

  1. The van cannot reach Railay because there is no road; we drop you at Ao Nang beach and the longtail is paid separately.
  2. At low tide boats may stop away from the beach and you wade with your bags, so pack bags you can carry and wear shoes that can get wet.
  3. Longtails from Ao Nang leave when full; chartering one is quicker if you are in a hurry or have lots of luggage.
  4. In the monsoon, roughly May to October, the sea can be rough and boats may use another landing or stop running.
  5. For the Krabi 4 Islands tour (Koh Poda, Chicken Island, Thale Waek) most boats also leave from Ao Nang or Nopparat Thara.
  6. Book the return from Ao Nang in advance; it costs the same as the outbound.

What's included
