Exploring the beaches and scenery of Raileh

Raileh is located in the Province Krabi, and is not an island but an extension of the mainland (more like a bay). Because of its surrounding hills there are no roads and can only be reached by boat from Ao Nang. Raileh is a more upmarket beach in Thailand and ranks as one of its top beaches. The west side of Raileh has two of the best beaches and the feeling of swimming in clear water with large limestone cliffs on both sides of the beach is memorable. The largest of those is Raileh west beach which is also more quit. The water on the west beach is more shallow. If you go to the far end of the beach there are some large boulders and large cliffs hanging of the sea front.

The other beach is Pranang cave beach which is even a bit nicer. The sand is more white and the water is clearer. Pranang cave beach is also the most popular beach on Raileh and visited by many tourists. The beaches on the east side of Raileh are not the best but you can easily get there by following the path that crosses the peninsula. It's only 10 minutes walk away and still worth seeing. One attraction of Raileh is the viewing point which you can reach in a 20 minute walk although it does involve a fair bit of climbing but the view over Raileh is worth it.

There is also a lagoon but this involves some real climbing. and is not recommended when the paths are muddy as it gets quite steep. If you are into rock climbing than Raileh offers many and perhaps some of the best experiences in Krabi. The sunset from Raileh West beach is said to be one of the best in the world when the skies turn into different colors.
