In beach areas like Railay (Krabi), Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Lipe, and islands near Koh Chang, longtail boat operators are the only transport option. Without competition, some operators quote a reasonable price at the pier, then demand more upon arrival — adding invented surcharges for 'night return,' 'heavy luggage,' 'extra person' (even if they were counted at departure), or claiming you agreed to a 'private boat' instead of shared. Refusing to pay can mean being left on an isolated beach. The standard rate for a Ao Nang to Railay crossing is about 100-150 THB per person on a shared boat, but inflated demands can reach 500-1,500 THB.
