The beaches of Leilei are divided into three beaches, namely East Lai Lei, Xilai Lei and Phra Nang. The overall size is small. It takes 10 minutes from East Lai Lei to Xilai Lei or Papa. Railay Beach is famous for rock climbing and has numerous rock faces and caves. The beach is distributed under the rock wall and has a different flavour. The beach area of Xilailei is slightly larger and more tourists tend to congregate here. The beach area of Pacang is not large. It is located below the rock wall and has a stalactite cave with a statue of a goddess to bless the boat home. The entire Pacang Beach feels like paradise.

Railay Bay is the closest island to Krabi, including the three beaches of East Railay, West Railay and Panam. At the Ao Nang Pier, take the unique long tail boat from Thailand to West Railay Beach. After going to the island, you can cross the island to East Railay Beach. Since the beach is not big, there are not many people; I did not see many Chinese people in one day. The sunset at Railay Beach is really beautiful! I stepped on the white sands of Railay, and the sea breeze from the Indian Ocean blew gently. The clouds of fire burned in the sky. As night fell, the sea looked vast. The world was silent, except for the sound of people singing songs.

“looking for adventure? what about Railay Beach?” Railay is a small peninsula between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang in Thailand. it is accessible only by boat due to high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. it got a couple resorts there, sand and sea and the one next to it that have pools. it got the wicked cliffs to look at and swim around and take note the water is calm and clear. and lastly, it got restaurants and bars, massages, everything right on the road leading up to it. so there’s no reason for you not to enjoy this place. #mynovgetaway #happynewyear#newphotographer#travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#instagramworthydestinations

I hope that you aren’t bored already of the paradise called Railay Beach. Me and my gf were not :) As we loved this place so much, we decided to stay there for 3 nights in total. Beside swimming in the emerald green ocean, we explored the whole peninsula by foot and were just so surprised by the beauty around every corner. These pictures where taken near a limestone cave, which Railay is also famous for. The huge limestones coming out of the ocean totally blew our minds! Views for days 😍 . #thailand #visitthailand #lostinthailand #thailandtravel #travel #thailandonly #thailand_allshots #thailandinstagram
