Railay & Phra Nang beaches are accessible only by boat from Ao nang. This paradise is especially famous for its imposing limestone cliffs, which together with the turquoise sea, the tall palm trees and the powder-sugar fine white sandy beaches conjure up a true picture-postcard setting. The best spots for photography are the 2 beaches, Phra Nang Cave with its fertility shrine (on the way you will see monkeys), Railay Viewpoint (25 min climb +you can continue til the secret lagoon), the Grotto restaurant (for hotel guests only, but if you come before opening, they let you take pics) and the bat cave where you can climb in for a nice viewpoint.
