Railay Beach Excursion

Railay beach

Railay beach is a famous tourist peninsula, which leaves neither locals nor visitors to Thailand indifferent.

This area is popular for its beautiful beaches and calm relaxing atmosphere. The beach is divided into three parts:

Railay West Beach;
Phra Nang;
Reilai East Beach.

Reilai West Beach is the main destination for beach lovers on the Reilai Peninsula. The beach is fringed by high limestone cliffs on both sides, and a scenic sandy stretch stretches around it, which is so nice to look at and take spectacular shots. There is a small promenade lined with stores.

Phra Nang. The coast is washed by the emerald sea, and nearby are powerful rock formations that create the perfect backdrop. Here you can swim in the sea, watch spectacular sunsets, and in the evenings there are amazing fire shows.

East Reilai Beach. This part of the coast is beautiful but less suitable for swimming. In addition to the fact that it is shallow, during low tide the water goes for hundreds of meters. On the other hand, the landscape is decorated with lush greenery, dense mangrove forests – very beautiful to look at.

Other advantages of the location:

The high limestone cliffs attract rock climbers from all over the world.
Developed tourist infrastructure. Guests are accommodated in bungalows, mid-priced hotels on East Railay, and luxury resorts centered on West Railay. Interestingly, one of them – Royavadee, covers both coasts and has a restaurant on the beach Ao Phra Nang.
Nearby is the island of Ao Nang, which can be reached by boat in 15 minutes.
Phra Nang Cave Beach is home to the famous Phra Nang Cave. Inside it is the Phra Nang Sanctuary, which is revered and worshipped by sailors living in the area. Upon entering the cave and looking outside, tourists will see the mouth of the cave with stalactites coming down to form an attractive chandelier. This is a real natural viewing platform, from which it is convenient to admire the sunset.

Nuance: the entrance here is free. The convenient location attracts a lot of tourists and locals. For privacy, it is better to arrive early in the morning or late in the evening.

Distance and travel time from Chalong Pier

In a straight line it is about 58 km (31 nautical miles) from Chalong Pier to Railay Beach. This is an approximate straight-line distance, not an exact navigational figure — the actual route on the water is always somewhat longer.

For a motor yacht, a crossing of this length typically takes about 1.5–2.5 hours, depending on the yacht, the weather and the state of the sea. The departure pier is also chosen to suit the route and the vessel, so we confirm the exact timing and departure point when planning your trip.

When planning a longer day on the water, this trip is often combined with Koh Poda or Chicken Island (Koh Kai).
