Krabi & Railay Beach

We sadly left Chiang Mai and flew via Bankok to Krabi - which with all the airline competition there is now, flights were seriously cheap and so easy. We stayed the night in Krabi (great real thin crust italian pizza for dinner) and then decided to go to Railay beach for the night before going on to Ko Phi Phi. What a great decision....Railay was beautiful. We arrived by Long-tail boat to the east side of Railay (often called Sunrise beach) and checked in to our resort - low season prices meant we could afford to stay here - a little nicer than the guest house digs we've been in - plus it had a nice pool! So the first thing Miranda did was have a swim in the pool, then we both explored the island. Firstly to Phra Nang beach where we spent a few hours relaxing then over to the west side of the beach (often called Sunset beach), for more swimming, a beer and then Carl saw a volleyball net going up and had a game with some tourists and some locals - good times!
