Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Bay
Railay Beach
Railay is an area of beaches and cliffs reached mainly by boat. Paths, boarding arrangements and activities depend on tides and weather.
Beach
Phra Nang Cave Beach
The beach of Phra Nang borders high cliffs near Railay. The nearby caves and places of worship demand respect for local usages; the sea and tides condition the approach.
Temple
Tiger Cave Temple
Wat Tham Suea, often called Tiger Cave Temple, includes religious spaces and a very demanding climb to a high point. Stairs, heat and health conditions must guide the choice of the route.
Tidal landscape
Thale Waek
Thale Waek refers to sandbanks that emerge between islands at low tide. Their presence and passability are never permanent; follow operator and park instructions.
