Take a shared shuttle bus to Ao Nang. For Railay, take a boat from Ao Nang pier since there are no road access points.

Booking a day ahead is better for popular tours. This ensures you get a spot on preferred boats and avoids last minute price hikes.

Use longtail boats for short distances. They are affordable and flexible for reaching spots like Koh Poda or Chicken Island.
