Railay, also known as Rai Leh, is a small peninsula between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang in Thailand. It is accessible only by boat due to high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. These cliffs attract rock climbers from all over the world, but the area is also popular due to its beautiful beaches and quiet relaxing atmosphere. Accommodation ranges from bungalows and medium-priced resorts in East Railay to a collection of luxury resorts focused on West Railay, though one, Rajavadee, spans both waterfronts and also has a beachfront restaurant at Ao Phra Nang. The four main areas of Railay consist of Phra Nang, West Railay, East Railay, and Ton Sai. Ton Sai caters to climbers and the backpacker set and is more rustic in character than the glitz of West Railay and the shops and restaurants of the East Railay boardwalk. Railay beach was not severely affected by the tsunami of 26 December 2004
If you are still looking for a very special accommodation on Railay, then we can recommend the incredible Hotel with a huge pool directly on the dream beach.
Railay Beach is located on the same named peninsula, where 4 of the most beautiful beaches in Krabi are located. The Railay Beach, Railay Beach East, the famous Phra Nang Beach and the quiet Tonsai Beach.
Getting to the peninsula Railay is only possible by sea! The arrival is usually from Ao Nang Beach or Krabi Town by longtail boat, which runs several times a day.
The mighty limestone cliffs of Railay Beach are a popular climbing location! Really good courses, for beginners and advanced climbers.
