Why should I book speedboat tour instead of longtail boat tour?

Very common question. However longtail boat experience is one of the highlights in Thailand we recommend to do shorter trips by longtail boat like Koh Hong tour. 

Therefore Railay beach & Poda Islands tour by speedboat is faster with comfortable cushion seating and more space. It's a long day and it can be convenient to have marine toilet on board as well. Easy access by ladders from the sea to boat for older people. 

Lastly, yes it is join tour, but in small groups 6-14 people what people like about it. Travellers appreciate it when they see other companies with 20-40 people on board. 

Definitely value for money.
