🥥🍍Feel the salty sea breeze and experience the tropical style of Southeast Asia.🍋🍈

❤️Recommendation reason: Railay Beach has always been a place I longed to visit. It is located in Krabi Province in southern Thailand, and is a peninsula surrounded by limestone cliffs that can only be reached by boat. It has fine white sand beaches, clear sea water, unique rock formations, and world-class climbing sites. After seeing many beautiful photos and travelogues about Railay Beach online, I decided to go there this year. 🗓Itinerary arrangement: I depart from Beijing and fly to Bangkok first, then transfer to Krabi Airport. It takes about 40 minutes by taxi from Krabi Airport to Ao Nang Beach. I bought a round-trip boat ticket from Ao Nang Beach Pier to Railay Beach for 200 Thai baht per person. The ticket can be used at any time, without any date or time restrictions. It takes about 15 minutes by longtail boat to reach Railay Beach. 🧳Preparation before the trip: I booked a two-night stay at Railay Village Resort-SHA Extra Plus[^1^][1] on the Lelei Beach. This resort is located on the West Railay Beach, surrounded by beautiful limestone cliffs, offering private villas and pool view rooms, and has an outdoor swimming pool. The room is spacious and comfortable, with a large bed, a sofa, a TV, a refrigerator, a safe, and a balcony. The balcony has a table and two chairs, where you can enjoy the view of the pool and garden. The bathroom is also clean and tidy, with a shower and a bathtub. 🌟Highlight features: On the first afternoon, I arrived at Lai Lei Beach. After getting off the boat, I walked along the beach for a few minutes and found my resort. After checking in, I put down my luggage and went out to explore this beautiful place. I first walked around West Lai Lei Beach, feeling the pleasant sea breeze and sunshine. West Lai Lei Beach is the longest and most beautiful beach in Lai Lei Beach, with fine and soft sand and clear blue water. There are many bars, restaurants, massage shops, and small shops on the beach, as well as some stalls offering water sports. I saw people playing kayaking, surfing, windsurfing, and so on. There are also many colorful long-tail boats parked on the beach, adding some exotic flavor to this place. 🍲Recommended dish: Curry rice (really delicious!!) I walked from West Railay Beach to East Railay Beach. This is not a beach suitable for swimming because the water is shallow and muddy, and there are many boats docked. However, there are many hotels and resorts here, as well as some restaurants and shops. I had a lunch here and tasted some Thai food, such as fried noodles, curry rice, coconut soup, and so on. I also bought some fruits and snacks, preparing for a picnic in the afternoon. I walked from East Railay Beach to South Railay Beach, which is a relatively quiet beach with not many people or facilities. There is a large limestone cave here called Princess Cave, which is said to be a sacred place dedicated to a princess named Phra Nang. The cave is filled with various wooden statues, some large and rough, some small and delicate, all gifts from locals or tourists to the princess, hoping for her blessings on their love and fertility. I think this cave is very unique and interesting. I found a comfortable spot on the South Laire Beach, spread out a blanket, and started enjoying my picnic. I ate some fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, and durians, and also drank a can of chilled Coke. I felt very relaxed and happy, just like in heaven. I lay on the beach, watching the white clouds floating in the sky, listening to the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and feeling the breeze blowing on my cheeks. I thought, this is the beauty of life. ✅Must-try: Rock climbing The next morning, I woke up very early and prepared to experience the most famous activity at Laire Beach - rock climbing. Laire Beach is a world-renowned rock climbing destination, and every day there are climbing enthusiasts from all over the world coming here. Of course, this stunning seaside scenic area has also gradually become a holiday destination for many Westerners. I booked a half-day rock climbing course online for 1000 Thai baht . I chose a rock climbing school called King Climbers, which is one of the oldest and most professional rock climbing schools in Railay Beach. I arrived at their office at 8:30 in the morning, filled out some forms, and rented a pair of climbing shoes and a helmet. Then, I took a long-tail boat with my instructor and several other students to the climbing site. We first practiced some basic climbing skills on a relatively gentle rock wall, such as how to use climbing shoes, how to grip the rocks, how to maintain balance, and so on. My mentor is an experienced climber, and he patiently taught us and gave us a lot of encouragement. I was a little nervous and scared at first, but gradually I relaxed and felt that climbing is actually very interesting and challenging. We practiced on the first rock wall for about an hour, and then we switched to a higher and steeper one. There are many different routes on this rock wall, some easy and some difficult. I chose a route of medium difficulty and prepared to challenge myself. I started climbing up the rock wall, paying attention to my instructor's instructions and looking for suitable hand and footholds. I tried to stick to the rock wall as closely as possible, relying more on the strength of my thighs and saving the strength of my arms every time I lifted one foot. I also had to keep an eye on the route, think about where I would go next, and then move my hands and feet to the corresponding points. During the process of rock climbing, I encountered many difficulties and setbacks. Sometimes I couldn't find a suitable point, sometimes I lost my balance, and sometimes I felt powerless. But every time, I didn't give up, but persisted. My mentor and other students also gave me a lot of support and encouragement, making me feel not alone. In the end, I successfully reached the top of the rock wall and saw the beautiful sea view and sky. I felt very happy and proud, as if I had completed an impossible task. ❤️Recommendation reason: This trip to Lai Lei Beach has brought me a lot of harvest. Not only did I appreciate the beautiful natural scenery, but I also experienced the exciting rock climbing sport. I think rock climbing is a sport that is very suitable for travelers. It can exercise your body, challenge yourself, and also appreciate different perspectives and scenery. If you also like adventure and exploration, then you must go to Lai Lei Beach and give it a try!
