How to get to Railay Beach from Bangkok

It's not rocket science but there are a few different options.

The easiest and quickest way to get to Railay Beach from Bangkok starts with a flight to Krabi.

www.thaiair.com
has several flights daily for less than $100.

There is also a train from Bangkok that goes south to Surat Thani, where you can pick up a bus to Krabi or Ao Nang. It is supposed to be a beautiful journey. The schedule is at http://www.thairailwayticket.com

From Krabi you can catch a boat to Railay Bay-East (45 minutes) from the Khong Ka Pier for about 100baht. From the docks in Ao Nang you can catch a boat to Railay Bay-West (15 minutes) for 60 baht before dark and 100 baht after dark.

The bridge house is on the west side.

If you are feeling jet lagged and don't want to deal with it yourself the friendly staff at the Railay Beach Club will arrange to pick you up at the Krabi Airport (or other places) and bring you directly to the house for a very reasonable price of 1300 baht for up to 7 people. Let us know at least a week in advance and we will arrange this for you if you would like it.

  1. How many are coming in on the 1:30 flight from Bangkok to Krabi on April 12 (it used to be 2:00 but got changed to 1:30)? I've arranged transportation to the house from the airport, and seven can pile in.
