Getting Around Koh Racha Yai

Transport in the Koh Racha Yai Region

Travel facilities around Thailand are efficient and very inexpensive, especially the buses that operate around the resorts, towns and cities. In more rural areas and smaller towns, open-ended vans (songthaews) are popular, as are taxis, tuk-tuks and samlors. There is also an extensive train network if you’re travelling over larger distances, and ferries and longtail boats are a common sight on waterways. Most tourists stick to taxis as they are most convenient and inexpensive.
