Railay Rocks



Railay is a mecca for rock climbers in Thailand. The spectacular limestone outcrops are craggy and ideal for climbing. With concern, we watched a group of tourists climbing near Railay East beach; no helmets, no shirts and little instruction. 
On our last morning we intermittently swam and watched two climbers on this rockface above this beach at the Railay west. Awesome!
Across the bay was a small village, Ton Sa Rai, with lots of rubbish on the beach and in the sand. I dubbed it Nimbin, as it was awash with Bob Marley posters, rainbow coloured flags, alternative bamboo structures, ads for rock climbing trips and seemed to be the hangout for climbers and those seeking a cheap and relaxed hut for a beach holiday.
