Getting to Railay

A unique getaway and peninsula with lime-stones shadowing the beautiful beaches, Railay promises to be a perfect weekend getaway for people who want to unwind. From rock-climbing and diving to beaches and relaxing atmosphere, Railay is known to be more of an intellectual getaway rather than being the party hotspot. To get to Railay, one has to take a 10 minute boat ride from Ao Nang or a 30 minute boat ride from Krabi. Getting around can be little hard as the walkways are bumpy and uneven. So tourists either take boats or hike. Mid-range accommodation can be found everywhere in the peninsula.
