Feb 1, 2008 - Railay & Ton Sai

The place we wanted to go to was Railay and this involved a ferry from Ko Pha Ngan, a bus across the mainland and then a longtail boat to Railay. ... The two hour ferry ride was fine but the promised three hour bus journey was a nightmare, taking five hours with the driver managing to pack 70 people onto a 50 seater coach with some unlucky folks standing all the way! By the time we reached the Andaman Coast town of Krabi we were knackered and opted to spend the night in this unremarkable town before heading to Railay the next day. ... Railay is surrounded by impenetrable cliffs and is only accessible by boat. ... Lonely Planet calls Railay its favourite beach but for not the first time on our trip we doubted if they’d actually been there recently. ...

Dec 2, 2007 - Railay

We arrived in Railay around midday and were immediately stunned by the beautiful scenery. ... It is part of the main land but due to the tall limestone cliffs roads are unable to connect the town to Krabi and we had to get a long tail boat there.We arrived in Railay around midday and were immediately stunned by the beautiful scenery. ...

Nov 16, 2007 - And you thought going to a 3rd world country would be a good idea for a honeymoon???

Where to start??? Really it hasn't been that bad but it has been a bit of an adventure, a VERY frustrating adventure at times. We took a bus to Ao Nang on the 15th to catch a long boat out to Tonsai/ Railay area which also was pretty cool. ... Long boats are a trip to ride on and really this is incredible country (we'll post some pics soon!!).Where to start???

Our Honeymoon!!!

Aug 11, 2007 - Railay

Inbetween all of the excitement of Phi Phi and Bangkok, we took another pitstop for a little R&R in Railay. ... Katie Vic and I decided to leave early and get to Railay earlier, while the others spent a couple more hours on Phi Phi. ... It worked quite nicely until we were all awoken by frantic passengers by the sight of a near by funnel cloud - Yikes! The funnel cloud dissipated and then shore was in sight so we headed down to get our bags, which is exactly what everyone else on the entire ship thought they should do to get ahead of the game! So we're off the ferry, we're trying to figure out the best way to get to Railay (we still aren't there yet, only in Krabi). ... Well, the part the guy forgot to tell us was that he was taking us to the pier that was farthest away from Railay so our trip now turned into about an hour on a little long tail boat through a thunderstorm, trecherous downpours and waves big enough to get some of our luggage airborne, luckily it never went overboard. ... So anyways, while in Railay we pretty much just relaxed on the beach for 2 days, i got another massage on the beach, it was spectacular and Jen, Phil and I went rock climbing so that was fun! Thats about it for Railay. ...

Jul 24, 2007 - Relaxing in Railay (Matt & Laura)

"Railay" we answer. ... "How many going to Railay?" I ask. ... There are hardly any tourists in sight and none look interested in joining us for a trip to Railay. ... We're wading ashore onto the beautiful white sandy beach at West Railay within less than 15 minutes. ... Not for us, unfortunately! So off we go down a narrow path toward Railay East, winding between the resorts, around the basic concrete bunkers where the resort staff live, and through the sewery scents that linger in the back where the guests don't go. ...
