When I had a few days off, I wanted to spend 4 days in the south. If I only went to the sea, it would be boring. I would just sit and stare at the sea. So I searched for information on where to go.

While the South is not only known for its beautiful beaches, I would also like to try sleeping on the ground.

Searching and searching, I stumbled upon a place called Ao Toh Lee and another place I've been dreaming of going to for a long time.

Railay Bay, renowned for its breathtaking beauty, is consistently ranked among the world's top beaches.

We carried our tents and booked a bus for the outward journey and a plane for the return journey, each to a different province.

To travel to two places at the same time, because we think that going south each time to the sea is boring.

Venturing out like this will likely yield more stories to share with friends than simply visiting a single location. ...

This 4-day trip truly made us fall in love with Phang Nga and Krabi.

According to our map, we should get off at Khok Kloi in Phang Nga Province.

We speculate that there may be some vehicles passing through the Tha intersection. Additionally, we have read that there are no public buses that go to Ao Toh Lee.

Even if you reach the pier, there will definitely be cars going to Ao Toh Lee. Because there is only one alley, there must be some cars passing by. 555

It's incredibly refreshing.



|| Let's go.

Our journey began from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal, catching the last bus, which departed at 8 pm, to arrive at our destination the following morning.

Finding a car was easy, but when we reached Khao Lak, everyone got off, and the driver even went to buy us some deep-fried dough sticks.

"Where are you going?" he asked. "I'm going to Khok Kloi," I replied. "What are you doing there?" he inquired. "I'm going home," I answered. "Are you going on a trip?" he asked. "Yes, I am," I replied.

They were confused and wondered if there were any attractions there! When you said that, I was completely lost. 555 But anyway, let's get there first and then we'll see.

The bus terminal is surprisingly empty. No wonder everyone got off.

Most people get off at Khao Lak, but then continue on to Phuket or Krabi.

Oh no, how do I get there? Let me ask the officer. (Reaches for phone)

Could you please show me the way to Tha-Yu intersection?

They said there are cars passing by, we need to wait for a car.

It is possible that the driver may stop here to drop off passengers. We will have to wait and see.




It's past 9 o'clock. How am I going to get there?

So I decided to walk. From here, it's only 12-13 kilometers to the pier.

It should take about half an hour to walk there, or you could try walking and hailing a ride along the way. There are usually cars parked around there.

I quickly hailed a passing van, thinking to myself...



After sitting for a long time, he walked out only to find a car had arrived.

Never mind, get in the car first...

Open the door, Southern dialect, come on, I'm going to the front, little brother.


Okay, I'm going to Ao Toh Lee, Hin Rom village.

They told me to get off at Tha It Intersection.

Then take a car to ...


The nearly half-hour car ride cost 50 baht, which is equivalent to walking.

** Do not wait at the bus station. Buses rarely pass by. Come out to the main road, where there are more vans passing by.



However, will we really walk into the Lee table? Are we really going to walk? I questioned myself.

There is no other choice. There is no car, so we have to walk.

(From the picture, cross to the opposite side and there will be a large sign saying "Entrance to Hin Rom Pier".)



However, we were unable to walk even 200 meters from the entrance of the alley.

A man shouted, "Hey, young man, where are you going?"

We quickly told him to go to Ao Toh Lee.

The old man told me to get in the car, he would take me there.

Wow! That's amazing, it sounds heavenly!

We're serious, no pretending. 555 Look at our faces.

I don't know how to thank you, uncle. But what's even more surprising is that we talked and talked.

Wow, this is the elder who manages Ao Toh Lee Bay. We are honored to be received by him.

Thank you very much, uncle.

However, I am glad because the journey was incredibly long, not just a short distance.

Alternatively, one could attempt to hail a passing vehicle. While vehicles do occasionally traverse this area, their frequency is limited.

(You came on a weekday, lol) Anyway, if you want to come here, take a bus to Khok Kloi and then find a car to take you to Tha Iu.

It's better to call your seniors here to pick you up. The price is not expensive, including the accommodation package haha.

Delivery service (if the uncles are available, try calling first)

0987681316 is the phone number of Ms. Malarudee, with whom we have been in contact and asking for directions. She said that it wouldn't cost much, so we should come over. 555

0895910569 is the phone number of the adult in charge of Ao Toh Lee. Note: They have also adopted us as their children.

We truly feel that way because it is incredibly humid here.

It's past 10 am now. What are you going to do? The adults said let's go to uncle's house first.

Upon arrival, the uncle generously served a large meal. Wow, I must say…

Spicy catfish curry with fried fish, absolutely delicious! We ate without restraint, haha. I never expected to receive such amazing service.

However, we probably can't just eat without doing anything. We should work in exchange for the meal. (Actually, we just sat there taking pictures.)



The old man asked if I had ever taken "ya nat" medicine. I was confused. Is "ya nat" a medicine that doctors use to treat boils?

No, it's not that. It's this: pineapple with light soy sauce. --*

This translates to: "I eat it by pouring soy sauce on the pineapple and then eating it. I've never done it this way before. I've only ever poured it on fried eggs."

Wow! This is incredibly delicious!

It's time to go upstairs. It's afternoon now.

The road is steep, but cars can easily drive up it because it is well-maintained.

This is the first thing we see.


The panoramic view of Phang Nga Bay is breathtaking. Its beauty is simply astounding.

Unsure of what to say, I find myself at a loss. Whether I sit and watch the view or lie down and gaze upon it, its beauty remains captivating.

The three stones are considered a prominent landmark of this area, according to the local elder.

Everyone comes here to take pictures. We don't want to miss out on the trend. Otherwise, people will think we haven't been here.


The scenery is truly breathtaking, making us forget our original purpose of camping here. Let's set up our tent now.

The view tonight will be amazing. If you haven't brought your own, there is a rental service available.

Alternatively, if you prefer a rustic experience, we offer accommodation in simple huts without electricity. Instead, we use generators to provide power.


The view we are seeing is of Koh Samet Nang Chee, as seen from Ao Toh Lee Bay. If you have been there before, you will know that…

They are close to each other, offering different views, but both are equally beautiful.

The elders were worried that we would be bored, so they asked us to help them paint. Haha!

If you go next time, you see a dirty sign, don't scold me. I'm the one who painted it. Haha, what are we going to eat tonight? I haven't bought anything yet. 5555

"I asked the old man where I could buy some things. He said that Bangdol would take me to the market."

"Is there really a market with a long, drawn-out sound, uncle?"



Yes, this is Ban Hin Rom, a community that lives here. The view is amazing, isn't it?

This place offers more than just villages and markets. It also boasts affordable homestays.

Alternatively, you could opt for a rustic homestay experience, which typically costs around 400-500 baht per night, if I recall correctly.

Come and see the way of life of the people here. You will be full of wonder. How full?

Upon seeing the food, they immediately offered me a taste. I took a bite and it was delicious! I didn't need to buy anything else, as everyone was sharing their food. I was completely satisfied.

This is Hin Rom, a beautiful house. But we are going back to Ao Toh Lee. I'm starting to get hungry.

The chicken, fish, and hot dogs have arrived, so it's time to dig in!

Let's eat here. It's simple, comfortable, and the atmosphere is great. It's really dark here.

The stars are visible now. They will be used to generate electricity until 3-4 pm, after which they will be turned off.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere to the fullest.






This is the special thing about this place. We got good shrimp from Bang Don, who stayed with us all night.

Sharing stories with genuine sincerity, where happiness sometimes transcends the need for civilization.

Or additional convenience, even though there is nothing here except for the sound of conversation and storytelling.

However, we wonder if this feeling of well-being is what is called happiness.


Although we came here with the intention of capturing the Milky Way, we didn't end up doing so. However, we don't feel any regret about coming here.

It was a night we will remember for a long, long time.

Last night, while we were sleeping, there was a heavy downpour accompanied by strong winds.

He told me to go sleep in the hut, otherwise I'd get wet. Well, it's raining, so I'm going to get wet anyway, haha!

Despite the rain, we found a romantic refuge in a small hut, creating a unique experience.

As the rain began to subside, we returned to our tents to check for any leaks or damage. Thankfully, our tents remained intact.

Due to fatigue and lack of sleep caused by the heavy downpour and storm-like conditions.

We dozed off even though the tent was still open because the weather was so nice and cool.

We awoke to the sound of a rooster crowing, and what lay before us was this. Now we know the answer to the question, "What comes after the rain?"

The sky is breathtakingly beautiful. Honestly, I've never seen such a view in my life. It's like a dream.

Everything we see before us is the reality we truly experience.

Let's get serious for a moment.

Excuse me, why is this place called Ao Toh Lee?

Okay, it seems like before entering that place, there used to be a house called "Toh Lee". That's all.

Wait, that's too short. Oh, well! That's the bottom line, really.

In the past, it is unknown whether there was a village located there 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 years ago.

They call it Ao Toh Lee, or perhaps there is another reason.


It is always difficult to say goodbye. We have had a wonderful time here, and we are very grateful to P'Bangdol.

who took care of us like family, making us feel less like tourists.

The care here is incredibly friendly, even if you're not a regular visitor.

However, our journey is not over yet. We still need to go to Krabi, another province. We have already booked our return tickets there.

The next question is how we will get to Krabi. We are planning to ask Bang Don to drop us off at the entrance of Tha Ao.

There was a car going to Krabi passing by.
Then the uncle told me that he was going to Krabi. Would you like to go with me? Wow, how could I not go?

We had to leave. We hitched a ride with the uncle to Ao Luek in Krabi province, as he wasn't going into town.

Although Uncle only delivered this much, we must express our deepest gratitude. We thank you profusely, Uncle.

*** From Tha Ao Intersection, there are both vans and buses available. You can transfer to Krabi from there. ***





We are now on the bus from Ao Luek to Krabi. I have to say, the view along the way is absolutely stunning!

After passing several large mountains, it seems we are approaching Krabi City. Time to open our eyes wide, right? 555


A one-hour boat ride from Ao Luek to Krabi Town costs 50 baht.

The driver asked me where I was going. I told him I was going to Railay by boat. He then dropped me off at the pier.

A very kind person. Then we continued on this white car, Krabi - Ao Nang.

We told him to go to Railay, which takes about 1 hour by car and costs 60 baht.

We have arrived at Ao Nang Pier. Walking inside, there are boats going to Railay Beach according to the schedule.

Boats depart every 15-20 minutes. We bought tickets for 100 baht, but now we are very hungry.

I ordered a plate of rice and told the vendor to make it spicy. This is what I got (I don't eat coriander, haha).


Okay, let's get going now that we're full. We're heading to Railay, which isn't technically an island because it's connected to the mainland, but it's on the other side.

With no roads leading to the destination, the only options seem to be taking a boat or climbing the mountain. However, considering it's a Saturday or Sunday and accommodation hasn't been booked yet, the situation appears challenging.

Is it possible to take a boat there first? We'll see later. 55555

100 baht for a 20-minute boat ride, and we arrived at Railay Bay. The first thing we saw was how incredibly beautiful it was.

The island of... well, it's not an island, it's a paradise bay. It's truly beautiful. This is Thailand, our home.


However, I have no idea where to go or where to stay.

The farm is divided into two sides: the west side and the east side. However, based on our preliminary reading, the west side...

The beaches are long, but the accommodation will be a bit expensive because it is located right on the beach.

The eastern side lacks beaches, but accommodation is cheaper, making it ideal for backpackers. Additionally, there are numerous pubs and bars.

Let's go! It's almost the weekend. 5555 But it's expensive, though. It costs between 2,000 and 5,000 baht.

And the cheap ones are all full, lol. Walking around, I finally found a place to stay.



Railay Garden View Resort

Located almost at the easternmost edge.

Accommodation costs 900 baht and offers views of the garden and the sea.

Initially, they took me to a park view, but I hesitated, wondering if I should find a new location.

However, when they brought me to this house, I immediately decided to stay. It was 900 baht, so I thought, "Why not?"

I apologize for not taking photos of the room in good condition before throwing things around. I was exhausted from the journey and fell asleep.

Stepping outside, the view from the room is breathtaking. Let me tell you, it's worth every penny. Hint: Room number 13 offers this stunning vista.

Railay Garden View Resort



To avoid wasting time, we headed straight to the west side.

We should be able to catch the sunset. Let's have a few cold beers, maybe 2, 3, or 4 bottles. That should be enough.

The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, just as the rumors suggested. This is truly an island paradise. However, it's important to note that the rumors about it not being an island are false.

This is Railay Bay in Krabi Province, where we have long wanted to come. ...

Why are there so many people walking on the other side of the road? What is going on?

We followed the Westerner and ended up at Ao Ton Sai.

However, it suddenly started raining, which was confusing. Moreover, the walking path was quite challenging. I was planning to visit Ao Ton Sai.

This is not our way. Let's come back and have a beer together. Hehe. This is our way. 555

After a quick game, we walked back to the east side.

It's quite a distance, and some parts of the road are isolated.

However, this is not the problem. Our problem is this: walking past shops, pubs, and bars, the lights and colors are so tempting. 5555
Walking around, I was indifferent to the Chang bottles. 5555
The prices of beer here are shocking. A small bottle costs around 80-100 baht, and the prices vary from shop to shop.



On the second morning at Railay Beach, we haven't explored the island yet. Let's start our exploration!

The hotel we stayed at, Railay Garden View, offered breakfast, which included bread, tea, and coffee. The view was spectacular.

Why can't I remember anything from last night? 55555

Once we're full, let's go explore, shall we?

"Wow, your stairs are so high! 5555"

The walkway was good, but last night it seemed like the oil had risen and flooded the walkway. I remember it being slippery, haha.

The eastern side where we stayed does not have a beach. It is mostly mudflats and mangrove forests.

The pier we arrived at is located in Ao Nang Bay. Accommodation on this side is more affordable, and there are numerous pubs, bars, and restaurants.




Railay Bay is a popular destination for rock climbers, with hundreds of routes of varying difficulty.

The price we inquired about is between 1200-2000, which is unfortunately beyond our budget.

He climbed and played beside him.

However, we continued walking for a while, heading towards Phra Nang Bay. We encountered a very challenging path, but it was free to access.

We didn't miss the free stuff, so we walked up to the first spot, which they call the "viewpoint".


The view from here is truly breathtaking. From this vantage point, we can see the entirety of Railay Bay, with its stunning cliffs and turquoise waters. It's definitely worth the climb to get here.

However, we had to descend to the so-called lagoon. Let me tell you, the path was incredibly challenging.

Both climbing up and climbing down are difficult, even for experienced climbers. But once you've started, you have to finish.

  • The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.
  • I have preserved the original HTML structure.
  • I have not added any additional information or commentary.

I played so hard that I had to take off my shirt.

It doesn't fit. It's too slippery and messy. I'm going to get in so much trouble with my mom when I get home.

Shoes


"It was a mess, haha! But it was fun. One piece of advice, don't come alone and avoid visiting during the rainy season."

The path is extremely dangerous and slippery.

And finally, we have arrived at the lagoon. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

It was definitely worth the climb up here. Or should I say, the climb down? I'm confused. 55 55

You said it was difficult to get down, but going up is even harder, haha.

In the end, I walked out to the sea. Everyone looked at me and asked, "What did you do?" 5555
This is Ao Phra Nang, a small bay that I think is the most beautiful in Railay Bay.



This is Phra Nang Cave. It is said that those who wish to have children should come here to pray. It is said to be very effective.


I think we should go back. 555 It's all dirty, but let's wash ourselves here first. 555
On our last night at Railay, we decided to have a nice meal at a restaurant on the east side.
This meal cost us 310 baht, which we thought was a fair price. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it.

The receipt states "Thai person," which is confusing.

Is the price different for Thai people and foreigners? If that's the case, it wouldn't be fair.



The grand finale.


Why did the photos start to blur? 555

Image cut 454@#)$%(^+#+_%)&_&+ Crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


After waking up, we went back to the pier where we first arrived, which is the eastern bay.

The price of the boat trip is different for Thai people and foreigners, which is very confusing. We don't understand why this is the case.

We don't understand whether it's a law, a tax, or something else. But how should we think about it? We paid 100 baht for the boat.

Foreigners see that we pay 100 baht, but foreigners have to pay 200 baht. Why is this?

He had no choice but to pay and leave. We couldn't say anything… We think it's unfair.

Then we should go home. The trip to the airport.

Exiting the pier, you will find a booth selling tickets for the airport shuttle bus. The fare is 150 baht.

Please confirm with us in advance if there are any available seats for the return trip. The journey takes approximately 2 hours.

We have arrived at Krabi Airport.


This trip, I brought about 4,000 baht and spent it all.

This is due to the cost of beer. However, if the information is incorrect, we apologize.

Don't let money be an excuse for not traveling.

A few baht is not enough to travel. The page is not enough baht.

This trip is a big thanks to Readme and Jetradar for writing reviews and exchanging points.
It turned into a round-trip plane ticket. We got it for 36 baht.
You ask how it's possible. Let me tell you briefly.

Let me tell you this briefly. I went on a trip and wrote a review on the website https://th.readme.me/. Here is an example of what I wrote: https://th.readme.me/p/5464. After I finished writing, if the article was well-received and shared by many people, I would get points that could be exchanged for rewards. https://th.readme.me/vouchers It's not just free flights, but also luxurious accommodations worth tens of thousands of baht that are available for free. Try signing up to be a blogger and write.

This 36 baht is a counter service fee, confirming that you are actually traveling.
