I can not write a review about the peninsula Raleigh in the province Krabi It is for his sake that many come to Krabi, and in particular to Aonang (from there closest to the peninsula). Naturally, this is not about winterers, but about those for a couple of weeks. However, wintering there too visit quite often, because the beaches there are canceled, and swim 10 minutes by boat.
We traveled to Reilly while we lived in Aonang for 2 months. A good place for wintering, I still remember with warmth. By the way, if you will rent a house in Krabi, I remind you that we have personally collected me Directory of houses in Krabi, where more than 70 houses with a map and photo. Housing for a short period while you are looking for a house, you can book through RoomGuru is the most convenient service.

What is Reilly
Railay is a peninsula (not an island), which is located in Krabi province near Aonang. Sometimes it is also called Railay Rayleigh, Riley, Riley or Raleigh, since it is written in English Railay and all pronounce how it goes. Speaking correctly, Riley, Well, as is customary for Reilly, for some reason everybody writes exactly this way—
So Riley is the name of two beaches on this peninsula, East Railay Beach and West Railay Beach. Peninsula can be said a cult place, they come here from all over the world, since the beaches are here They are considered very good and are included in some TOPs. Also here another mecca of rock climbers, for one of the beaches of Ton Sai is very good suitable for this occupation.
In general, many come here for 1-2 weeks to stay away from civilization, because there is almost none. Some amount cafes, bungalow type hotels, that’s all. Well amazing nature of course. Beautiful so that swearing I want to.
My impressions
Of course, I liked Riley. There really good beaches and not so feel the ebb. After all, on the same Aonang beach even a small outflow makes the sea enough small. Children splash well, but adults swim is difficult. And what an amazing nature on Railay, the rocks around, turquoise sea, peace and quiet, a kind of small tropical paradise.
On the other hand, I like beaches, on Samui and Phuket, and even in Hua Hin. Everywhere is good in its own way and every place has its pluses. In the case of Reilly, this place is for short-term recreation, but not for life or wintering. Although, perhaps, someone and will be able to live in a bungalow for several months, but this is more likely again concerns rest when nothing else is needed.

Viewing platforms
Sites two. The first in the west of the peninsula between the beaches of Pranag and West Rails. Not very popular.
The second in the east of the peninsula between the beaches of Pranang and East Reilly The view is beautiful, but the road there is an amateur, to put it mildly. We’ll have to climb the stones vertically upwards, staining in red clay. The rise takes about 10 minutes. You can see from above at the same time two beaches Railay. Next, the path continues and you can get to the lagoon. But the path to it is even more thorny, there is almost vertical sections. I did not have time to reach it, thanks to our readers. blog, which reached the lagoon and sent pictures.
