Am wondering how SHA transfers from the airport work when part of the journey includes a boat?

Thinking of visiting Railay (which has a couple of SHA++ hotels) but if you book the Test & Go package will they pick you up from KBV, drive you to Ao Nang and put you on a boat to Railay? Can you book the transfer independently from the hotel?  Where and when would you do the RT-PCR test?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The process for SHA transfers from the airport, particularly to Railay, involves a couple of steps. If you book a Test & Go package, typically, the transfer will include a drive from Krabi Airport (KBV) to Ao Nang, followed by a boat ride to Railay. It's advisable to confirm the details with the hotel you're staying at, as they will coordinate the transportation and provide necessary confirmation for the package. Additionally, make sure to check information regarding RT-PCR testing, as it may vary, and you might need to arrange this through hotel or local resources.

The "rule" is 5 hour travel time from your arrival airport is okay. The hotel will arrange the transportation so as long as they will give you a confirmation that shows your package includes the transfer then the hotel should know what's acceptable and take care of it for you. The Thailand PSAS website says it's also for booking Krabi PCR tests.

You should reach out to the hotel, they'll know all the details and should be able to answer any questions.

I don't think there's enough people that have entered through Krabi that can answer your question. But if you decide to do it, it would be great if you reported back here with your experience to help others in the future.

Does Krabi have international flights arriving yet?

You have to do your entry program where you arrive in Thailand except for some very specific exceptions.

yes, on Scoot from SIN. So do you mean it would have to be a hotel in Krabi Province?
