Description
This is an excellent backpacker spot. Located at the top of a long flight of stairs, it's quite a climb up, but far from the noise of the long-tails below. There's a long line of bungalows reaching up into the hills -- basic and rustic, to be sure -- mattress on the floor, hammock on the porch -- all you'd expect in the budget price-range. There's a large and comfy common area for lounging and dinning, and guests swear by the food here -- especially the fresh-baked bread. The staff are hip and friendly. Recommended.

Staff are friendly and the resort isn't too noisy in the evening. The stairs here though are lethal, particularly... more
Railay Cabana
Inland, on the road from the beach near Diamond Cave Resort
Along the beach on Railay East you'll see a sign pointing to Railay Cabana just before you reach the Diamond Cave Resort -- it's a good ten-minute walk to get there. The setting is quite beautiful -- situated just below the looming limestone cliffs -- with a very remote feeling to it. It is remote,... more
Diamond Cave Resort
36 Moo 1 (at the northern end of the beach), Railay
This massive spot is worth checking out if everywhere else is full simply due to their vast number of rooms. It's a veritable bungalow-burb out behind reception, with row after row of bland concrete cubes. Not pretty to look at, but inside they're clean and reasonably well maintained -- some are... more
Railay Highland

Follow the signs to Railay Cabana to get here, and you'll find it along the way, a good ten minutes walk from the water. The bungalows here are minimalist, but larger and somewhat nicer than the ones at the Cabana. The setting isn't quite as striking, but it's less of a walk to the beach and closer... more
