Nang Beach is reached in twenty minutes from Krabi Town
by song-taew (Baht bus). Ralae beach is reached via boat,
from both Krabi Town or Ao Nang beach. Once on either
beach everything is no more than five minutes away! The
general feeling here is based on relaxation and fun. Both
beaches have their fair share of resorts, restaurants
and shops, but all the dive centres are found on Ao Nang
beach or in Krabi Town. Diving courses, day trips and
even liveaboard excursions are all offered. Sightseeing
tours are also very popular with plenty of oppurtunities
to enjoy the wonderful scenery or to visit the local islands
and beaches. Hot springs, temples and caves are also visited.
Slightly more energetic activities include rock climbing
on Railae beach and sea kayaking.

Railae
Beach is actually a series of two
beaches divided by a flat narrow isthmus. The western
of which was once nominated as the second most beautiful
in the world, but by whom and which beach came first remains
unclear! There is a range of accommodations, cafes and
restaurants, a handful of shops selling everyday provisions
and of course some internet facilities. Day time activities
around the beaches include sunbathing and snorkelling,
but first and foremost is the rock climbing; the area
is noted as being one of the best climbing locations in
the world.
