Railay Beach is a small peninsula located between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang in Thailand. It's accessible only by boat due to high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. These imposing formations enclose magnificent beaches and lush jungles, offering breathtaking views and a secluded atmosphere. Railay is divided into East and West sections, each with distinct characteristics. West Railay boasts a broad sandy beach with shallow waters perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Comparatively, East Railay is known for its mangrove forests and a coastline that mainly consists of mudflats, offering a more peaceful vibe. Besides the stunning scenery, Railay is renowned for rock climbing opportunities, with over 700 bolted routes catering to climbers of all levels. Apart from climbing, visitors can enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, and exploring hidden lagoons and caves. Accommodations on the peninsula range from budget-friendly bungalows to upscale resorts, ensuring that all visitors find a suitable place to stay. Dining options include local Thai cuisine as well as international dishes, served in beachside restaurants and bars.
