    Overrated, plenty of nicer beaches in Thailand

    At Railay West, the sand is not white, and the waters are not clear and blue. There are definitely better beaches nearby, try Poda or Tup Island. Maybe Railay East is better? The 25 min boat ride from Ao Nang was quite treacherous. Prepare to...More

    Rent a kayak, and go get lost.

    Just grab a kayak from the beach, and go explore the islands and caves. You don't need a tour, or to sit next to a bunch of noisy people holding camera phones. Grab a waterproof bag, get your things and paddle out into the turquoise...More

    Best for Natural Swimming

    This is the heaven for swimmers who loves natural swimming.With sublime natural beauty and shallow blue crystal clear water one would have enjoyed the best natural swimming experience .Beach is too shallow ,and easy swimming place and perfectly safe.

    One of the best places to visit if you are in Krabi Town. One of the most memorable beaches in Thailand.

    Strong wind and waves

    Pretty beach but the wind was so strong. The waves seemed too strong for any swimming or water activities though there were people struggling to kayak in such conditions. Shops are nearby if you want to take a stroll but once it rained, the shopowners...More

    Perfectly safe! But be advised: the rainy season can bring in monsoons. So your concern should be: is it safe to go there by long-tail boat yes/no. Not sure what point Caryn J is making about stairs, boats and walls. You... More
