Railay 2014

First time ever in Thailand ? this is a easy way how to go to Railay Krabi with kids or without kids...

• first book flight : you can go with nokair.com or http://www.airasia.com for low cost flight
• then book your room on Railay beach, there are Eastern side, Western side but easy to walk to each side only 350 meters around a few minutes

when you arrived Krabi airport, after pick up your bags go right to taxi counter ( you can not find public taxi at Krabi airport) cheapest way to do is book at the counter taxi cost around 600 bht 25 kms to Ao Nammoa pier then at the pier , you will see the boat counter to get you across main land cost 80 bht per person but you have to wait until have 8 people on the boat so easy way is pay charter at cost 800 bht per way to the Rairay beach.

This is longtail boat that we use from Ao Nammoa pier to Railay beach

Take only 8 minutes to Railay Beach, the guy help us to carry to bag to the beach, we give them 50 bht tip..

this is ao Nammoa look like, you can swim here but the best side of the beach is Aonang beach...
So dont panic when you see this beach only a few minutes walk to other side of the bay

we stay at Railay Bay, Deluxe Cottage... it was nice, but when we check in we have to walk from Ao Nammoa to other side, with bags and the weather is 40 degrees in the sunny it is not funny

well this is in front the hotel where you can have breakfast and see this view everyday of your stay!
this view is from Railay Bay resort... but our room is back to other beach, we shocked for the first day..but we get used to this.. 555 have to walk for 4-5 minutes from our room to this beach, it all worth it ?

This is what is look like when sun set, I personally when I found the great restaurant I go there lunch and dinner every day, we have our lunch and dinner here at Raylay Village Restaurant, the food was amazing and the price is super great 3 dishes share between 2 persons cost around 500 bht !

remark remark : please do not scream at waiters, they dont serve beer or any alcohol here as well as pork

so you have to walk to get your own beer at the shop near by... but they serve other gorgeous drink, like fresh coconut juice and all kind of non alcohol drinks dont ask me why...but first time people sit here at this restaurant they look like what the hell..
