About Railay

A car-free peninsula cut off by limestone cliffs, suiting rock climbers and beach walkers.

You walk everywhere on this headland since there are no roads or cars. The west side offers sandy swimming beaches, while the east side is lined with mangroves and boat docks. Stay here for easy access to limestone climbing routes, but skip it if you dislike relying on longtail boats to reach the mainland.

Getting there
Longtail boat from Ao Nang or Ao Nam Mao pier.
Watch out for
Day-trippers fill the beaches from mid-morning to mid-afternoon.
