Railay Beach Thailand

We caught a long boat from outside our hotel to Railay Beach. It was a beautiful ride. The rock formations are so unique to Thailand. When we landed at Railay the tide was out, so it didn't look quite like the pictures. As we walked to the beach, which was on the other side, we came across an area that said there was a lagoon up and over the other side of the rock. It was a straight up climb. We told Sara we were up for the challenge. I'm so glad it wasn't raining or it would have been too slippery and dangerous. We carefully ascended the rock, pulling ourselves up and over large rocks and tree roots to find out that when the tide is out....there is no lagoon! Luz and I stayed at the top (which took about 45 minutes to climb) while Sara went down the other side in search of the lagoon...no luck! Either way, it was great exercise and a great adventure. I'm pretty sure Luz and I were the oldest ones to attempt it. After that we went down to the beach and soaked ourselves in the clear water. We watched people rock climb up the side of the rocks. They had a professional company there assisting people with this excursion. After a bit, we headed back to the other side to catch a long boat home. I took a ton of long boat pictures, which are your typical Thailand pics. We showered and then had dinner and a massage. Also, we made an appointment to get a foot massage prior to our flight the next day.....gotta love those Thai massages and Thai prices!
