Railay is a small peninsula, 2 kilometers long, connected to the mainland but
\nwith its coast cut off by limestone cliffs. The peninsula is one of southern
\nThailand’s most spectacular destinations, accessed only by boat, hence it\u2019s
\na car free paradise where the only sounds are of waves, birdsong, and those
\nof long-tail boat engines echoing off the limestone cliffs. In the peninsula four
\nunique, and different from each other, beaches and resorts, offering
\naccommodations to suit all type of travelers, from backpackers bungalows to
\nluxurious resorts.
\nThe massive cliffs, 200 meters high, towering above the coast, made Railay
\none of the world’s premier rock climbing destinations with climbing schools,
\nequipment to rent, and numerous climbing routes from beginner-friendly to
\nterrifyingly overhanging walls that defeat expert climbers.<\/p>\n
