Journeying from Railay to Phuket: A Beach Paradise Adventure
Embarking on a journey from Railay Beach to Phuket opens the door to a world of experiences. Phuket, nestled in the Andaman Sea, is a treasure of marine activities.
But Phuket is more than just its beaches. It boasts a beautiful historical town, captivating cultural attractions, and breathtaking viewpoints. When the sun sets, the island comes alive with vibrant night markets that pop up every weekend.
You're a seafood enthusiast, an explorer of lush beachside forests, a diving and hiking enthusiast, Phuket as it. Or you are simply in need of a soothing Thai massage, Phuket caters to every desire. It offers exciting day trip opportunities to nearby treasures. Koh Phi Phi, the Similan Islands, and the mesmerizing sea caves of Phang Nga Bay are easily reachable.
To explore the surrounding areas, secure your ferry tickets for the journey from Railay Beach to Phuket and the Phi Phi Islands. Discover the stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life of this picturesque region.
For those with a sense of adventure, motorcycles are the favored mode of transportation on Phuket. They offer easy access to off-road beaches and the island's smaller neighborhoods.
Just remember to drive on the left side of the road and always wear a helmet. If you're not comfortable riding yourself, look for motorcycle taxis. Their drivers don red or green vests. They'll take you wherever you want to go.
As you plan your exploration of the Andaman Sea, don't forget to consider the distances between Railay Beach, Krabi Town, Ao Nang, and Phuket. Speedboats and ferries are available for island-hopping adventures, including Koh Phi Phi Tonsai, Koh Ngai, Koh Kradan, Koh Lanta, Koh Samui, Koh Lipe, and more.
So, from Railay to Phuket and beyond, prepare to immerse yourself in the wonders of this tropical paradise. Every corner reveals a new adventure and breathtaking scenery awaits at every turn.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.
To arrange your refund or new travel date, please click the refund button in your personal Liva account.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.
To proceed, please click the chat button to connect with one of our customer service agents, or use any of the official channels listed in the footer of our website.
Warning: Please do not send requests by replying directly to the booking confirmation email, as this is not an official support channel.
Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
