Lined with limestone cliffs and golden sand, Railay Beach is just a ten minute boat ride from Ao Nang. This is one part of the Kingdom which has not allowed itself to be over-run with big, brash resorts.

Railay Beach is truly a paradise and the natural beauty surrounding the bay is unrivalled in Thailand. To escape the ever-growing crowds in Ao Nang or Phi-Phi, Railay is perfect.

Although only 15 mins away from Ao Nang by longtail boat, the atmosphere on Railay is on another level. Railay is a relaxing place with no loud pumping music or masses of people.Evenings on the bay are spent with good food and good company!

Railay is Thailand's rock climbing capital. The original "Tex Wild Boys" started climbing the limestone cliffs here over ten years ago and now these guys are amongst the most respected instuctors in the country.

From the top of the cliffs you can get an awesome panoramic view of Railay Bay and the whole of Krabi province. When the sun goes down and the lights reflect from the rocks, the whole scene is one of "Paradise Found!"

Longtails to Railay Bay leave from Chao Fa pier in Krabi Town and two piers in Ao Nang, one on the beach and the other at Ao Nam Mao, Fossil Shell Road.

Boats run from early in the morning until late at night for no more than 50/60 Th.Baht.
