Must-sees & Must-Dos in Railay?
What to do and see in Railay
Railay is renowned for its beaches, Phra Nang Beach and Railay West Beach, but also famous as a climbing destination, with some of Thailand's most renowned climbing spots. If you're experienced, you can ascend the towering limestone cliffs and enjoy an incredible view! Of course, there are beginner courses available on lower facades as well. Other places to visit on the isthmus besides the beaches include Phra Nang Cave and the inner lagoon (but do it with an experienced climber or risk accidents). The viewpoint of Railay East is more easily accessible and offers a lovely panoramic view.
Alternatively, you can also go for the same boat trips offered from Ao Nang. You can hire the services of a longtail boat directly on the beach by negotiating the price and itinerary with them. The most popular ride they offer is the beach tour, but you can also go for day trips.

- 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.
