Much like an elusive paradise island, Railay Beach in Thailand is nestled away and reachable only by boat, reserved for the intrepid travellers looking for the road less trodden. Famous for its cliff-side shores ardently sought-after by rock climbers, besides easy-going sandy beaches where relaxation is the name of the game, it truly offers an experience as diverse as its terrains.

Whether you envisage an intimate luxury resort getaway on the glistening West Railay coast, or fancy a spontaneous backpacking adventure along the climbers' hubs of Ton Sai, you're bound to find your ideal stay with Lycafly today. This Peninsula awaits, carrying unique experiences for families, couples and solo nomads alike - all amenable to a wide spectrum of budgets.

Railay's tropical climate promises beautiful weather for most part of the year, making it a year-round destination. But, if a flawless blue sky backdrop is what you're after, the best months to visit would be between January to March or in December. The days are sunny and warm with temperatures soaring up to a pleasant 33°C in February. However, be prepared for higher visitor footfall during these months, which are the peak tourist season.

If a quieter, more serene beach encounter floats your boat, consider braving the rains between June and November. Though these are the rainiest months, they also bring out the lush greenery and the beaches often lie deserted, providing you with your own uninterrupted slice of paradise. Regardless of the time of year, swimming in the sea remains a delightful indulgence, thanks to agreeable ocean temperatures.
