Railey Beach and Phranang Cave/Beach Photos, February 2017
Take a longtail boatd from Aonang to Railey West or Phranang Beach. Here you will find clear waters – not like the sandy (dirty looking) waters in Aonang.
There are several hotels between Railey East and West, and in between there are pathways. If you take the “shopping street” from Railey West you can continue all the way to Railey East where there are no beaches to swim. Here is where the hotel boats arrive. At low tide half the bay is almost dry. Tractors drive out to the water edge to pick up tourists and luggage.
If you continue along the cliff you get to the Phranang Beach and cave. This is the best beach closest to Aonang. There are boats selling food and drinks if you plan to stay the whole day, or you can eat at one of the restaurants’ bars.
