The limestone towers of the Railay peninsula and the islands of Phra Nang Bay rise from warm, turquoise water, with overhangs and stalactites perfect for deep water soloing. Boat trips from Railay and Tonsai visit the best walls.
In season: Nov–Apr · Peak: Dec–Mar
Warm water and boat days to different towers, with tides affecting which lines are safe. The dry season from November to April is best.
Base in Railay or Tonsai and book a deep water soloing boat trip with a local climbing shop. Check the tide, and start on easier lines.
