Hat Railay East

Railay's most developed beach, this shallow, muddy, mangrove-lined bay recedes to mudflats during low tide, gets steamy hot if the breezes aren’t blowing and isn't appealing for swimming. But it's lined with affordable hotels, guesthouses and restaurants and is only a five-minute walk to better beaches.
