Travel from Phuket to Railay Beach by Ferry & Speedboat

Рейли
Both vacationers in Thailand and tourists from around the globe love going to Railay beach. Phuket isn't half-bad a resort destination either. They're both among the best vacation spots in Thailand.

They're prized gems in Thai tourism for sure—one a city within an island of the same name (Phuket), the other a peninsula located between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang (Railay beach).

Phuket itself has many places tourists adore, such as its 19th Century shop-houses and Sino-Portuguese buildings at Old Town to its Great Buddha of Phuket, which sits atop Nakkerd Hill near Chalong.

Railay Beach is also famous among tourists for its rock climbing opportunities due to the limestone cliff at the edge of the beach.

What to Expect of Phuket and Railay Beach

What to Expect of Phuket and Railay Beach


What's not to like about lovely Phuket? It gives even the world-famous Bali beaches a run for their money with its clear waters and soft powdery sand. The city and its namesake island are slightly more developed than Bali but not necessarily as cosmopolitan as Bangkok.

The whole place thrives in beautiful chaos, with its active nightlife, lively celebrations, and parade of friendly locals that charm many tourists and vacationers out there.

Phuket is also home to The Great Buddha of Phuket. You can access the religious monument by hiking from Phuket City to Karon Beach for 2.5 hours. It's a worthwhile expedition that truly immerses you in Thai culture.

As for Railay, which is also spelled as Rai Leh, it's a peninsula instead of an island with a namesake beach that's all the rage among vacationers targeting a new fresh flavor in tropical beaches.

It is cut off from access by the mainland due to its high limestone cliffs that are quite popular among rock climbing enthusiasts. Therefore, you can only access the place by ferry boat or speedboat. Ironically, many foreigners visit it for the sake of rock climbing.

Nevertheless, there's more to Railay than just climbing cliffs and mountains. It's also home to Phra Nang Cave at its Phra Nang Cave Beach. You can go cave exploring or laze about at the nearby beach.

Railay Beach is a place filled with pure vibes, relaxation, and peacefulness. The secluded locals there are quite chill while the tourists tend to follow suit. Available accommodations range from resort hotels to affordable bungalows.

In contrast to the adrenaline junkie rock climbers and cave explorers, the tourists chilling at the multiple luxury resort beaches available in Railay have a more tranquil attitude to life as they enjoy serenity in paradise.

Thanks to the Phuket Ferry website, you don't have to hunt far and wide for specific available ferry boat or speedboat trips from Phuket to Railay beach. Just set a course and buy a ticket. It's really super simple!
