What to see in Railay
Railay is probably one of the most famous climbing spots in Thailand. If you have a good level you can climb the high limestone cliffs and have an incredible view. Obviously, there are courses for beginners also. The places to visit on Railay isthmus itself are the beaches (Tonsai and Phra Nang beach), Phra Nang Cave and the inner lagoon. Otherwise, you can also go on the same excursions offered from Ao Nang. You can hire the services of a longtail boat directly on the beach by negotiating the price and the program with his driver. The ride they offer the most is tour around the isthmus from beach to beach but you can also rent them for an entire day.
Other visits suggestions in Railay
- Railay West Beach
(the most popular beach), most of the tourists are on this beach
- Tonsay Beach
is accessible by a steep a bit complicated at the end that connects Railay West to Tonsay or by a path of 3 km that makes you discover the cheap bungalows in the forest. No electricity and no running water in most cases, in Robinson Crusoe style.
