The drive might take around 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic and road conditions. Once you reach the Ao Nang Pier, you will need to park your car (ensure to check for parking fees). Next, take a long-tail boat from Ao Nang Pier to Railay Beach. The boat ride takes about 15 to 20 minutes and costs approximately 100-150 THB per person.

  If you prefer public transportation, first take a songthaew (shared taxi) or a local bus from anywhere in Koh Yao Noi to the main pier in Krabi. This may take around 1 hour and costs about 50-100 THB. Once you arrive at Krabi Pier, transfer to Ao Nang Pier via a local taxi or songthaew, which costs around 30-50 THB. After reaching Ao Nang Pier, you will need to take a long-tail boat to Railay Beach, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes and costs around 100-150 THB per person.

• Ferry and Boat

  You can also opt for a ferry service that operates between Koh Yao Noi and Krabi. Take a ferry from the Koh Yao Noi pier to Krabi, which takes about 30-45 minutes and costs around 300-400 THB.
