Hidden Railay BayRailay Bay is technically part of the mainlaind, but the sparkling beach here can only be reached by boat. It is cut off from the rest of Thailand by a ring of limestone rocks, making it feel like an island paradise. As you approach, you'll see the entire crescent-shaped bay with its powdery golden sand. On the horizon, the rocks rise from the sea in spectacular and bizarre formations.It takes around an hour to get from Krabi to Railay Bay in Thailand. There are several resorts, restaurants, and cosy bars on the beach, giving you plenty of choice in the evenings. It's a great destination to end your Thailand trip - a final bout of beach relaxation before plunging back into reality. During our Thailand Railay Bay tour, we'll arrange your accommodation in a charming resort on the beach, with a swimming pool of its own. An extensive breakfast buffet is included. |

We will arrange your transfer to Ao Nang beach, near Railay, and back again at the end of your stay. There will be plenty of longtail boats waiting at Ao Nang to take you to Railay Bay. You will pay the boatman yourself (about £1 per person), and then you're off to explore more beaches in Thailand. The quick trip takes only 10 minutes and speeds between the jagged rocks dotted with caves and birds' nests.You will arrive on the enchanted western beach at Railay Bay. This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful beach in the area. You will stay in a comfortable resort on the beach, with its own swimming pool. The charming bungalows are all set within beautiful gardens with hibiscus, ivy, and bromeliads growing right up to the front door. Once you have settled into your Railay Bay bungalow, you can begin the task of completely unwinding. Start by taking a quick dip in the crystal clear waters. |

When you reach the famous lagoon at Ko Hong, you can Jump out for a refreshing dip, where literally hundreds of starfish are strewn along the seabed. A lunch is served under some shady palm trees, and usually included in the price you pay locally for the excursion. You'll be back at your bungalow around 5pm - the perfect time to enjoy a cocktail as you watch the spectacular sunset over Railay Bay in Thailand. As the temperature cools a little, you can play some evening football on the sand with the locals. |
