However, just a 20 minute drive brings you to Ao Nang Beach offering some of the regions best five star hotels, scenic beauty like few other places on earth and a gentle ocean beckoning you into its warm tropical waters.

Railay Beach can only be reached by long tail boat from either Ao Nang or the main pier in town. It needs to be said that this is more than just another beach though. Upon arrival after a 20 minute scenic long tail boat ride, you will be mesmerized by cliffs hanging overhead when walking from the western to eastern side of the beach, as well as spectacular lime stone cliffs jutting from the water in the distance.
