| Out at
Railay Beach the days are meant to be spent lazing on the beach and with the comfort of
the resorts and the beauty of the scenery the mind shouldn't need to wander into the world
of shopping too much. It is possible to buy essential beach items here at the many
mini-marts that serve the resorts, along with some food and toiletries. It is even
possible to have a suit made at Sunrise Bungalows and buy rock climbing equipment at King
Climbers and Hot Rock climbing schools. But it is food that you don't need to cook
yourself that Railay does so well.  For a special occasion a visit to
Coco's restaurant on East Railay is a must, the food and atmosphere of this forest
restaurant are beyond compare. Equally delicious Thai and Western dishes can be had at
equally good prices in the restaurant at Railay Village on West Railay Beach. This
restaurant is also famous for its stupidly delicious ice-cream.
Night life moves
around the resorts of Railay during the week as each bungalow operation takes it in turns
to have a beach party. Don't miss the special atmosphere of a party at Railay Bay or
Tonsai Village where the sand of the beach is covered in people drinking and dancing until
the sun comes up. One of the newest bars on East Railay also hosts one of the best
parties, Viewpoint Bar, though not on the beach, is a large open bar with big balconies
where everyone can easily watch the mesmerizing fire-spinners or wince at the preformers
who use large pins and broken glass in an act that no-one should try at home!! The music
here is also excellent and suits the moods of the seasoned revellers that wait for the sun
to rise before heading home. If it is live music that's your thing Ya Ya's bar, also on
East Railay, has live bands during the high season, and is a good place to meet people. |
