I spent the weekend in Railay beach with Claire and several other volunteers. Railay is on a peninsula about 45 minutes away from Krabi town and is accessible only by long-tail boat. It is a really beautiful place, surrounded by huge limestone cliffs, lush gardens, and palm trees. Although Railay is touristy and houses many resorts, it was not very crowded, and at times, it felt like we had the whole beach completely to ourselves. We stayed in a rustic bungalow resort that felt like something out of Swiss Family Robinson. We were very fortunate to have great weather, with no rain, so we enjoyed a lot of swimming and beach time. The sunset on Railay West was one of the most beautiful I have seen.
My favorite part of the weekend was our rock-climbing experience. Railay is famous for its massive limestone cliffs that are perfect for rock-climbing. It was my first time doing outdoor climbing on an actual cliff, and although it was difficult, it was a lot of fun. We spent a half-day climbing several sections of a cliff, and the views from the top were amazing. We were all very sore the next day, but it was definitely worth it!
