Thailand boasts some gorgeous sparkling beaches that simply beckon one to soak up some serious sun and fun. Krabi’s contribution on the Thai beach front is the blissful Railay Beach that is a haven for Thai beachgoers and backpackers. The island features some great options for quality Krabi resorts that feature stellar accommodation for sun worshippers. A Trang resort that offers stylish lodging on a prime beachfront is the Anantara Si Kao Thailand that is set amongst pristine beaches and scenic natural parks and forests for the perfect natural immersion experience. Close by, Railay Beach offers a stunning beachfront punctuated by spectacular natural settings. Framed by limestone cliffs and dotted with mangrove patches, one can simply get away from it all, the busy beach life and bustling cities and settle in on Railay Beach. The limestone cliffs offer some wonderful climbing and attract rock climbers from around the world. East Railay is the main dock for boats from Krabi and on its north end, it offers a a small commercial area with a walkfront/promenade that feature restaurants, bars, shops and even a muay thai school. West Railay is the main draw for beachgoers to the island, and long tailed boats are available for hire to Ao Nang, a fifteen-minute ride away. In addition, ferries going to Phuket and Koh Phi Phi leave from here as well. In short, Railay Beach is an ideal choice for beach-enthusiasts looking for one of Thailand’s less-frequented beach locales.
