We booked a ferry from Krabi to Railey Beach. There is a little booth near the docks that sell the tickets and tell you the hours that the ferries run. Once a wooden dragon boat is full it heads out. The boat ride was awesome. Open air and smooth. It was one of my favorite parts island hopping during our trip. When we arrived we wondered until we found a hotel that served breakfast. There was a reasonably priced buffet and we ate there. We spent a few hours at the beach, swimming and enjoying the sun. We saw the rain coming and decided to head to bar and grab a drink. Overall it was a great day, and I highly recommend.

We took long tail boat from Ao Nang at 8:30. We were there before 8:00 but if a group came, they had priority. It was a bit chaotic how the boatmen were organizing the boats. After 30 min we could board. It took 15min and cost 100bhat per person. We were 12 on the boat. When coming back there was 1 more couple waiting. Each of us paid 200 baht and we could go immediately back. West Railay beach is nice with stunning views. Inside the “village” it’s already a bit messy. To go there for 1-day trip ok but I wouldn’t stay there for longer. For cat lovers just check the pictures 😻

Really gorgeous beaches, yummy food, wildlife, and almost everything you need. Cool hippie vibes by the west side. I enjoyed the place and was only there for a few hours. Would love to come back and stay on this side of Krabi for a few days.

Beautiful spot. The swim area towards the cliff has a quite rocky bottom and is shallow at low tide. Further towards the boats the bottom has far more sand and is a nicer walk out to swim.

Railay beach is so beautiful. Especially during the sunset days. They have beautiful long tail boats and the scenery looks wonderful. You can get the long tail boats from Ao Nang to Railay Beach at 200 return. Last boat is at 6.30 PM. Get a boat so you will catch the sunset.

Gorgeous beach but recommend carrying beach shoes to avoid getting hit by rocks especially when going for a swim. The water is nice and warm and sandy patches are good on the beach.

The beach is really relaxing with magnificent views. Has lots of stuff to do, do not stay there for 1 day, stay for more. There is so much to do and see. The first priority place that I'll recommend to you if you will go to Krabi. You can only get there by boat. Its a piece of land surrounded by mountains and cliffs. You will need to pay if hotel doesn't provide a free boat to your destination.

We stayed here in 2 stints, first time our room was alright. Second time, we were placed in a clearly renovated room. Both had not very soft mattresses and few outlets, but decent furniture and wifi. It was close to a few restaurants and about 10 min walk from the main strip of Railay. Staff was friendly, helpful and there was always coffee packets available. Great for the price, would stay again.

Nice quiet resort on the East side of Railay. No TV, but they do have a slow wifi you can use. The beaches aren't as beautiful as the West, but the serenity and vibe are what intrigue. Off the beaten path of 90% of the tourist too.

We got a last minute room with bunk beds even though we really wanted a normal double room but hey-ho, we had a really nice start with a nice welcome drink. The property was amazing with a nice pool and turtle parks etc. We had a big walk to our room from the reception so that was a stretch as I think ours was literally the last room of the resort haha (so most uphill). Breakfast was top-notch, can’t recommend it enough with quite a few veggie options - they should do more fresh fruit but breakfast was worth paying for.

The location of the hotel is excellent, and the rooms are very nice and well-equipped, even though there is no television. The housekeeping staff and those who provide water are extremely friendly and always greet you with a smile, which made us feel very welcome. However, our experience with the receptionist was very disappointing. We had several requests during our stay, and each time we interacted with her, she was extremely rude and unhelpful. Her attitude towards guests was consistently unfriendly, which really affected our overall impression of the hotel. We also noticed issues during breakfast. On several occasions, there were very few guests, and yet five staff members were standing around, watching the guests but not clearing tables or serving ordered items like scrambled eggs or other breakfast options. The wait for food was very long, which was frustrating and disappointing, especially given how beautiful the hotel and its location are. It’s a shame that such a nice hotel in a great location is let down by poor service at the reception and during breakfast. With better staff training and a more welcoming attitude at the front desk, this hotel could be truly outstanding.

Staff was friendly. Breakfast was decent. We stayed for a week and after day 2 they turned off our air conditioner. Very inhuman, very hot. Not nice. Also woke us up sometimes with drills and hammers, they are renovating right now I think.

2 stars for the unfriendly staff at reception. The room was okay, nothing great, for what you paid you would expect a little bit better (wiry mattress). The lady at the reception never said a thank you, sorry or offered any help in a few situations we had, one night they said next morning we needed to move rooms as our room was booked, only to tell us when we packed everything and we're ready to check out that we could stayed there, we understand, a mistake is a mistake, but at least offer a sorry and a smile. We would have stayed longer in railey if there wasn't for this.

Today I came to Railay it’s in Krabi province. I have only day time from 17:00 to next day 11am. As I arrived at the island 17:00. I booked a room with no AC just fan from Agoda here in Railay Viewpoint Resort. I got check in around 17:20 pm but they asked me before check in if I want to upgrade AC pay 200 Baht more. I refused for it. Because just for a night I didn’t want to spend extra money. I paid deposit 500 and they asked me to follow staff to check in room. I followed. They opened the room I kept my luggage and wanted to rush to the beach which was 10 mins far and sunset time was very close like it was about 18:00. So I just changed and when I am about to step out the staff is back to my room door and asked me that they did mistake of giving me a AC room. I said okay now I am in rush I will comeback after sunset and you can give me the Non AC room but no they started arguing even it was their mistake. I don’t want to waste the valuable few hours I have to experience on the island so I said okay you cut 200 baht from deposit and we will manage the rest when I am back. Still they talking bad about me on my back which was quite audible. When I try to ask the name of staff they don’t even tell the name of her. But she was quite a healthy girl in yellow tshirt started arguing even after is was not my fault. Very bad experience because they not respect or value the guest. I would not recommend you to stay here after my experience with the staff. End of today the person name Bombe got a new room for me. He provided me a bigger room. I appreciate that listen to me and provided an upgrade before listening to me. But still I still want to share the review I experienced from the staff.

Definitely not for the faint hearted as has been said by many others, you must have enough confidence to go up and down unprotected straight up climbing walls. Wear shoes and be careful and it's definitely doable if you are fit. 1000x worth it though, so beautiful and hidden. Just know that no one will come and save you if you get hurt😹

Very steep and slippery ascent and descent — it involves some basic climbing skills and the use of ropes. That said, the reward at the end is absolutely worth it: a refreshing, beautiful blue lagoon! Important tips: Don’t attempt it in flip-flops, during or after rain, or if you're afraid of heights. Use caution: follow the 'three points of contact' rule (e.g., always keep one hand on the rope or rock). If you're reasonably fit and follow the safety tips, you should be fine. A guide isn’t necessary, but if you’re unsure of your climbing ability, it might be a good idea.

it's a real good hike. steep. wear proper shoes. not for people scared of heights or cannot rock climb. it's steep, it's physical, but my kids (>10y) made it down and back up, if they know climbing.

This would qualify more as climbing than hiking at some parts! Especially for the average person that doesn’t do sports. I would recommend to wear sports shoes and adequate clothing. Refrain from going if it is raining, if you are alone or if you have kids with you. Some parts can be slippery and quite steep so beware of that. Down at the lagoon there is no phone reception. Although it can be tricky at times, the view was worth it. Since not many people manage to get there, you can enjoy the peacefulness of the setting. Apart from us, there were only two other people at the lagoon so we really enjoyed it.

When reviews say this climb is tough and challenging, multiply that by a million. I'm a regular person, I used to work out but haven't in over a year for various reasons and this was THE hardest thing i have ever done in my 28 years of life. I ended up slipping one cliff away from the lagoon, bonked my head on the rocks and i have gnarly bruises all over my legs and arms, i cried because that was terrifying especially because there's no guides around or safety measures except some muddy ropes along the way to "help" you climb (i slipped using the rope but there wasn't any good footing in this particular part), HOWEVER after being cheered on by some amazing people who were also enduring this insane adventure, I made it to the lagoon and it was so worth it. The view is breathtakingly gorgeous, unlike anything I've ever seen before. The water is so warm, the ground is squishy but it's fairly shallow throughout the lagoon. There's a lot of sharp rocks at the base so it's hard to walk on but the lagoon is so fricken beautiful it was worth banging up my entire body for. I don't have pics from inside the lagoon because i didnt bring my waterproof case that day but if you are intrigued by the other photos i took and think you are capable of doing some insane rock climbing without any gear or safety precautions but your own self, i definitely recommend. This is not for everyone, not for most people honestly, looking back i probably should not have gone but i persevered and made it out alive and experienced the most beautiful, secluded, calm waters in thailand! If you do attempt this climb, please please please wear proper shoes because it's muddy and slippery which adds to the challenge of holding onto the rope and rocks with all your grip strength! Very fricken gorgeous lagoon though. The climbing down is what got me, climbing up is easier because I feel like you have more control and gravity isn't waiting for you to put too much pressure on one side of your body to take you tumbling down😅 *also to add on, i started climbing at 2:30pm and got to the lagoon at 4, and got back to flat land at 5. If you are extremely athletic and an expert rock climber you probably won't be on the trk for 3hrs like i was but if you're normal, be prepared to spend a lot of time heading to the lagoon. Coming back is much quicker and less dangerous than getting there in my opinion. *

Beautiful spot if you can get to it but definitely not a trail for the faint hearted. I was advised many times to turn around as the trail requires many points of relying only on your ability to pull yourself up or lower yourself down by the ropes. The good thing is that the ropes although some are old are extremely secure and you can rely on them well (which is needed). By the end I felt like a pro rock climber. Definitely worth it for the swim at the bottom (although watch out for your feet on sharp rocks)

I went into Lagoon the day after heavy rain. I highly recommend not to do it if you are not skilled with a little bit of climbing. It is slippery, don’t go without snickers, flipflops might be ok to the view point, but not Lagoon. If you have ever climbed, also sport climbing at least 4-5+ there will be no problem. There are three steep sectors 6 m long also equipped with the rope, which in my case was rather tricky because the ropes were muddied and slippery, so use normal climbing logic. You have plenty of big holds, also for the foot, so in combination really no problem. If you aren’t skilled with climbing just stick to the rope and use legs to walk down slowly over the rocks…don’t do it after the rain… On the other hand the piece of adrenaline was the thing that was worth doing it for, because the Lagoon itself didn’t offer that much, also I couldn’t swim because the water is too low and it was also pretty muddy…the viewpoint is nice and there I thing no climbing or hiking experience is needed, just be careful and enyoj

My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.

I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.

What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!

Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!

Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.

This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

We forgot about first lesson. Yaya saw us next day, asked why we didnt come while he was waiting. We apologised and proposed money for his time. He didn't took it and invited us for a lesson next day. Training was really good. Each time i'm in Railey i go to The Last Bar and Yaya's place.

Very professional coach and super interesting training. Explains a lot of techniques and adjust plan to you level. Could definitely trading with him for months. Highly recommend !

My husband and I were on the beach when we saw a boxing match in the public space. We stopped to see what it was and a man demanded to pay us for watching. When we told him that we were just walking around and that we were leaving, he began to push us with his elbow towards the other side of the beach promenade. my husband told him not to touch him and the owner of the place took his finger and twisted it. in this place they physically attack you.

I really enjoyed my first muay thai lessons with Yaya. I was exhausted and happy after each training. I do recommend this place!

The Trainer does not speak english, but we did some padwork. Did not like it tho. The equipment was not nice.

our lessons for training Thai boxing 1 hours @500B.

Wery experienced trainer and nice Guy. Recomend !!:)
