Beach Monkeys
The great thing about Thailand is you have a better chance of seeing exotic animals like monkeys and elephants in a urban setting than seeing them in the wild.

Monkey - Railay
Like most urban animals these monkeys have become accustomed to people and have picked up the bad habit of picking through human garbage.

Railay Beach - Thailand
Railay Beach is in the province of Krabi on the Andaman Coast of Southern Thailand.

Hat Phra Nang - Railay
The beach is on a peninsular of land blocked off by rugged cliffs, so the only way there is by small boats.

Long Tail Boat - Railay
The 2007 edition of Lonely Planet say that it is their "favourite beach in Thailand". Given Lonely Planet's immense popularity such a statement might be a kiss of death for some beaches. There is a lot of new construction going on here but there is no road access to Railay, so traffic is limited to boats. It takes 45 minutes from Krabi Town in a long tail boat.

Resort Under Construction - Railay
The cliffs and limestone formations has made Railay popular with rockclimbers.
