Mixed among the karst landscape of the Krabi region Railay is a climber's and beach lover's mecca. Railay, also known as Rai Leh is only a short boat (there is no road) ride to Krabi so it seemed like a perfect place for one final beach fix before heading north to Bangkok.
Railay is a peninsula of sorts, with 2 and a half beaches and some quite amazing karst scenery dividing the beaches. I say 2 and a half because you can't really call Railay East a beach as it is mostly mangrove and where the long tails arrive/leave. However the other two beaches, one of which is consistently touted as one of the best in the world, are stunners, which invariably draws a crowd of families, package tourist the Phi Phi crowd and those, like us.
