Railay Beach, Thailand

A long-tail boat brought us to Railay Beach, near Krabi town, after another long day of travel, in part due to the tardiness of Malaysian Rail, which promises "ON time every time" except this time, as we were  2 1/2 hours overdue. it was debatable if we'd make our connections in time. Heath bartered a ride with a mini-bus service. Canadian driving is completely unlike Thai road etiquette. Best to not look through the front window if nervous! We made our reservation just at dusk. This gorgeous peninsula is accessed only by boat, due to the impenetrable headlands. We had pre-booked some nights in a resort type establishment. Our room opens out to the pool and a view of the ocean. We are on the cheaper side of the peninsula, as this is the 'mud' beach. The nicer beaches are a 10-15 walk away. or longer, if high tide catches you and you need to walk through the jungle path.
