We arrived in Krabi at 7:30am after the 12 hour super VIP bus ride. We took a minivan to Ao Nang Pier where we caught a long-tail boat to Railay Beach where we stayed at the Garden View Resort for 2 nights.

Limestone Clifs of Krabi

Coming up to Railay Beach was pretty spectacular seeing the limestone cliffs and the white sand was unforgettable. Rock climbers come to Railay beach just to climb the cliffs that were over 300'. It was neat to see how high they were from watching on the beach.

The beach is divided into west and east where the west beach has the nice beach with the expensive accommodations and the east side has the rocky, muddy beach with the cheap accommodations where we stayed!!!!!!

We took the walking street to the east side, which was only 10 minutes to our resort from the beach.

The East side of Railay beach was just as beautiful as the west but with no sandy beach.

Every day we went to the west side to enjoy the beautiful beach and the high limestone cliffs.

It was very interesting to watch the tide go out and see the coral appear.

Every night we went to the west side to watch the AMAZING sunset! It is hard to even describe how beautiful it truly was with all the colours in the sky and the music playing in the background. We took so many pictures but here are the best of the bunch.
