Railay is a small peninsula between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang in Thailand. It is accessible only by boat due to high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. These cliffs attract rock climbers from all over the world, but the area is also popular due to its beautiful beaches and quiet relaxing atmosphere. Accommodation ranges from bungalows and medium-priced resorts in East Railay to a collection of luxury resorts focused on West Railay, .

The four main areas of Railay consist of Phra Nang, West Railay, East Railay, and Ton Sai. Ton Sai caters to climbers and the backpacker set and is more rustic than the glitz of West Railay and the shops and restaurants of the East Railay boardwalk. Railay is located in Ao nang Krabi approximately 170 kilometers away from Phuket town which would take about 3 hours by car to Ao Nam Mao pier then take long tail boat about 15 minutes to Ton sai pier Railay east.

The time from November to April is the best time of year to travel to Railay Krabi.
