We wanted to get up early so we could avoid the hot part of the day. We succeeded somewhat and end up getting up around 7:30. After a wonderful buffet breakfast we rented a double kayak and around 9 am we headed out on the sea to explore the surrounding beaches and islands.
The islands around Railay are nothing like we have seen anywhere else. They are huge limestone towers that rise high from the azure sea. There is a multitude of caves and stalactite and stalagmites all around these magnificent rocks. We kayaked around many of these islands and snorkeled around some.
We also stopped at the PhraNang beach - one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and explored the Princess Cave. Princess cave is a cave filled with phallic symbols where people pray for fertility.We slowly paddled our way back to our beach and we finally arrived after 1pm when it was starting to get really hot.
After a delicious curry for lunch we retired to our cottage for a well deserved nap.
In the evening we booked our tour for the next day - Snorkeling trip to the Phi Phi islands and finished the wonderful day with dinner and drinks.
