Taxi from Krabi to Ao Nam Mao Pier (Railay)
Railay is a peninsula cut off from the mainland by cliffs, so you can only reach it by boat. The longtail boats leave from Ao Nam Mao pier, a few minutes from Ao Nang. We bring you by road to the pier and you pay for the boat there. Pack light, because the boat ride and the walk to your hotel are with your own luggage. Boats run in daylight, so if you land late, check with your hotel first. The distance shown is from Krabi Airport.
