Best Beaches in the World: Railay Thailand

Boat Ride From Krabi Town To Railay

After chilling out for a few days in Krabi Town, I headed to Railay Beach to photograph an epic destination wedding (click here to see!). Here’s one of my favorite photos from the wedding.

I remember sitting on a plane during my first trip to Asia, and the older man sitting next to me said, “You have to go to Railay Beach if you can. It’s spectacular.” I wasn’t able to make it on that trip, but 3 years later, I was finally able to see it for myself. (some of my iphone photos).

The only way to get to Railay is by long tail boat from Krabi Town, for more detailed directions check out this info on TravelFish. Here’s some of the scenery from the boat ride as we pulled up to Railay.

Monkeys, Caves, Turquoise Water, and Rock Climbing

Railay is small enough that a day trip from Krabi Town would be sufficient to experience the place. It only takes a half hour and it’s much easier to find cheap accommodation in Krabi Town.

Most of the people that stay more than a few days are rock climbers, as Railay is of the world’s top rock climbing destinations.
