Railay Beach is hands down one of the most beautiful places in Thailand. I’ve been twice, and trust me—go when the weather is good because that’s when it’s at its absolute best! Think dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise water, and soft white sand that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. Since it’s only accessible by boat, it has that secluded island feel, even though it’s part of the mainland.
