Yes, there are almost no tourists at Railey, Phra Nang beach at the moment because of the current situation. But beware, under normal circumstances, same like Phi Pi island, and the like, this beach would be flooded by tourists, speedboats and long tail boats and I doubt it would be a joyful experience to be there. Gladly I made it to Phra Nang beach way before it was discovered by mass tourism, about 35 years back in time. I am so thankful I could experience Thailand at that time. Well done vid, Patty. It brings back some lovely memories of those great times.
Agreed. I was there in 2014 and it wasn't great. Way too many people everywhere to really be able to soak in the beauty of it all. I'm actually in Koh Lanta now and was in Ao Nang a few days ago. Skipped Railay and went to some other beaches and sites in the Krabi area. All gorgeous, and not that many tourists of course.
Railay is such a chill beach. I am so glad I went there. Only accessible by boat keeps it under control so its not some wild party place. Tons of food options and lots of fun stuff to do, lots of nice boat trips from that area. Its one of the best trips I have ever taken.
It's the wonderful part of travelling, meeting up with people who are relaxed enough to share their experiences. People who wouldn't normally give you the time of day back in the suburbs. Bit like a passport to the University of Life!
The memories, not to mention footage you are getting on this trip (so far) is something else, considering the normal, tourist thronged, state of many of the sites you have visited. Awesome. So cool to see.
Amazing to see the beaches empty. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to take photos and videos of the pristine settings. This video series has turned out great! Can’t wait to watch the next one and the next one and the next one... Cheers Paddy 🍻
We’ve been to Krabi once a few years ago, but never to these parts on the video.... it looks amazingly beautiful and we cannot wait to check it out the next time we’re back in Thailand 🇹🇭 We would rather be there right now to have the beach 🏖 all to ourselves! Thanks for for this awesome vlog.....you oh make us feel like we’re there with you! 🙏
Great video man! Great to tag along from Sweden! Today I watch your journey from my 370 year old cabin in the woods and it hit me that its amazing with Internet and you putting up videos from the other side of the world! Love it!
I absolutely LOVE Railey and Tonsai beaches! It's so sad to see those beautiful and special beaches empty. By the way, what you saw on Tonsai wasn't abandoned. It's like a climbers' camp. Everything is simple and there are no fancy resorts but some wooden cabins where climbers can eat and sleep and relax between climbing session. For me, it is actually better than Railey, because it's super cheap, people are very mice, the food is great, and every night there were some cool parties, which you cannot find in Railey side. I hope things will get better soon. The Thai people there are the best and I'm sad to see that they have no work these days. I hope you'll go back there after covid is going away...
Cool video Paddy Been to Railey 3 times: Once we did a sunset tour at Phra Nang and had dinner there before heading back to Ao Nang. The other 2 times were exploring Phra Nang, West Railey, Ton Sai and East Railey. We did the lazy route from West Railey to Ton Sai by taking the Thai boat - didn't fancy going through the jungle though
If you don't mind me asking, which was your favorite part(s) of your trip to Railey? I'm planning to go there too on my trip to Thailand. Would really appreciate it!
@@TeamMystic851 The favourite part(s) were definitely Phra Nang and West Railey. I had sunset dinner on Phra Nang Beach and it was awesome with an amazing sunset. I'll say East Railey wasn't the best but in order to go to Phra Nang and West Railey, you will have to go though East Railey Beach. Tonsai beach is good and definitely far less busy
Also deep water solo climbing is awesome in that area! Those islands around Chicken & Poda are great. Probably not happening now due to Covid... but yeah you could climb up 40 ft and jump off into the ocean.
I watched this vlog and cannot get over the stunning topography. It doesn't seem real! This is what comes to my mind when I think of Thailand. Are you gonna check out James Bond Island? Top vlog Paddy. Amazing camera work and commentary!
I stayed in Sand and sea resort like your friends. I was there at Christmas. Goldie - the actor/rapper came in from this massive yacht and bought about 20 takeaway dinners! Being an old bastard I was the only person who recognised him.
As always, awesome content! You have inspired us to book a flight to Southern Thailand 💘💞✈️🌅🏞️🏝️🗺️ Thank you for sharing! Stay safe! From, North Carolina, USA
Patty I just did a 7 day asq quarantine. Just before it went back to 14 days. It was like solidary confinement. But I did it alone and my phone broke on day 4 so I was in Thai tv hell for a few days. I would not do it again. The worst is the covid test required 72 hours before flying. That is another story. Loving Thailand now!
What a nice little peace of relaxation part of Thailand buddy, and the shortcut was a great find 💪 The LED light boot thingy was realy cool Paddy 👊 Thanks for sharing and see you in the next one 👊
I subscribed to the channel in the first 1.03 minute after seeing the small Honda bike with the Thai flag. I told myself that this is gonna be good for sure.
God damn...you are lucky to have experienced this without crowds. Just a couple of mated and the serenity. I'm sad to know that when I eventually visit Thailand, it'll be full of tourists 😭
I love Railay Bay, I stay where your friends stayed in a villa with the private courtyard and jacuzzi, the beds are so hard, but I love the privacy and being able to paddle in the jacuzzi starkes and no one needs to see that haha. Loved the clear plastic kayaks with the Led"s so beautiful with the sunset.
Hiya Paddy, "I wish. Pmsl. Haha." You crack me up. It must feel unreal to see it now. It is so nice that the beach is free from all the boats. You really get to see the real beauty. Beautiful sunset. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
I didn't think you where going to Railay cause you went straight to Ao Nang after Phi Phi. I'm so jealous it's the first place id go tomorrow if I could
Some stuff still hasn't returned since COVID, Phra Nang is busier now but Phra Nang side is still closed to boats. At least that allows me to make a little bit of cash selling some beers to the day trippers.

You can walk and go over the Rock direkt on the Beach also, there is a smal Trail... you need around 10 Minutes...
Hey! Paddy.
We were there too. 2 weeks ago. But, there were quite a few people.
I would love to visit the place once again.
your the best paddy
P.S.:i support your videos
Perks of traveling alone - you're more open to meeting people. Which 9 times out of 10 brings on even more cool adventures and experiences.
👍👍
So true I've hitched on a fishing boat to Greenland, and from Tromso to Svalbard, all because I travel alone. Doors open when your alone.

17 years in Thailand and it's my favorite place.
👍👍
i have only been to Phuket and Krabi, so Im so glad to hear that Railey is the best beach.
You Lucky so and so 😊
Me too, spent many months here in early 90s, most content I've been.
It's the wonderful part of travelling, meeting up with people who are relaxed enough to share their experiences. People who wouldn't normally give you the time of day back in the suburbs. Bit like a passport to the University of Life!
We've seen quite a few videos of that place HEAVING with tourists. Lucky 🍀.
truly lucky!
The memories, not to mention footage you are getting on this trip (so far) is something else, considering the normal, tourist thronged, state of many of the sites you have visited. Awesome. So cool to see.
Railay Beach is a stunner for sure! So worth spending a few nights here

The sunsets are so majestic and colorful !!!
This is awesome! Railay Beach is such a beautiful place. It is indeed Thailand's most beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this experience! :)
I like krabi ao nang and sorrounding area😍 so beautiful
Have a nice day
Greetings from Switzerland 👍
so hard to pick a "most beautiful place" in Thailand. Truly the land of smiles.
I agree John, theres so many 😀
i went to this place 15 years ago. It's the place I best remember about Thailand. Such an amazing place.
It's wonderful vlog, thanks for share
I always wish for more whenever your video ends! What an amazing treat, always! Cheers!
The company seems to have really cheered you up, glad things have brightened for you Paddy :)

@@brothersman524 Okay thank you so much! Dinner at sunset on Phra Nang beach sounds incredible!! I'll try to plan that into my trip too
"Next levelness" - great stuff.
Yes, I cracked up when I learned this new “word”
Paddy’s next T-shirt design 😉
@@TheWorldnUs Yes!
My husband and I love Railay beach! Hope to be back there next year!
Railay looks so pristine now. Same over here in Samui. Beaches have the same feel again like in the early days of tourism.
Looking at all those people and the boats, I think I like it as it is now. Looks more beautiful!
Great work Paddy I’m inspired to travel Thailand again after 4 years away
Been there in 2019 and loved it!
Also deep water solo climbing is awesome in that area! Those islands around Chicken & Poda are great. Probably not happening now due to Covid... but yeah you could climb up 40 ft and jump off into the ocean.
I like your positive outlook on all the places you visit! Cant wait to visit Thailand again...
The sunset 🌄 view marvellous... great video.... can't wait the next video....
WOW Beautiful Beaches and nice idea with the blue shining kayaks. Great Video as always...
Beautiful and peaceful ❤️

Looks like making friends has lifted the vibe of your video.
Wow...just loving the videos Paddy! Thailand is the BEST👍

Really enjoyed your glow-in-the-dark kayak tour of the cave, thanks 🌊 🏝
it was really cool in that cave with crystal clear see through boat

You were at Railay on a sunny 🌞 day. Looks beautiful, going to spend 7 days there first week of May. Hoping for the same weather
The walls at Phr Nang beach are great for bouldering!!! Difficult but a fun way to spend the afternoon without spending any money.
Beautiful Video, Amazing Jungle Trail looks scary sometimes, Your Kayak was Niceone. Overall Just Amazing 😍😍😍😍✅✌️💯
Fun video. Thank you. Dan from Australia
Wooooow the Kajak Trip at the end is just soooo cool! Have to do this next time going to krabi

Hi Paddy, I have never been to Railay Beach and Tonsai Beach in Krabi. But, after watching this vlog I really really want to go now!!!
Wow enjoyed that , Langkawi have some amazing rock formation 👌
What a relaxed video,loved the beach and kayak part.I get nervous when you are using main camera while kayaking instead of gopro😂😂
Really enjoying your videos Paddy, great travels :)
We stayed in the same guesthouse at Railay - nice place!
2:23 that was perfect pronunciation haha Lots of love from Thailand 🇹🇭
God damn...you are lucky to have experienced this without crowds. Just a couple of mated and the serenity. I'm sad to know that when I eventually visit Thailand, it'll be full of tourists 😭
It'll do you good to have some company. Enjoy 😊👍
You got that right!
Paddy you lucky bugger 😌👍🏻
OMG, I find myself smiling like the village idiot while I watch this video. Nice

Epic again! Last time i was at Raily its was crowded!
You got friends to join trip with you and sharing quarantine experience at Bkk, enjoy your stay 😄😄
covid has certainly given these over tourist travelled places a break and time too heal and for u paddy, the whole place to your self, happy dayz
Absolutely love Railay beach :)
Reading the comments before watching the video, making sure people talking the truth😄
I love Railay Bay, I stay where your friends stayed in a villa with the private courtyard and jacuzzi, the beds are so hard, but I love the privacy and being able to paddle in the jacuzzi starkes and no one needs to see that haha.

It must feel unreal to see it now. It is so nice that the beach is free from all the boats. You really get to see the real beauty. Beautiful sunset. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Thanks nicky
You are so adorable! Love your videos and your amazing trip.
Accualy, my son has a similar dream of exploring Thailand like you do. 💕🛵
Loved this one!
Paddy, need the hookup for the evening kayaking! We’re headed there tomorrow ❤️
Love Railay, spent the last 3 new years eve there, albeit quite last year, stay safe
really next level to see Railey totally deserted. Last time i was there it was so packed that we quickly escaped to more quiet places
I love your motobike look classic! reminding me when I was young :) Hello from BKK
Just awesome paddy!! 😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great channel Paddy!
Great episode. 🤩 I would love to see more food. Nothing special.. Just vlog your meals. 🍲. Can't wait for the next video.
Looks just like it did (but with more resorts now !) when I was last there.
In 1989. Maybe a few more people now 😀
Every video shows how epic Thailand is.... And the um, male fertility cave, hilarious. 😂
Does it operate like a book exchange, we wondered. A&D 🤣(edit to add Rofl)
When you say please dont have any moster in here 😂😂😂 it make me laugh
Patty how many beers did you drink before the sunset kayak trip? The giggles and sound effects from you had me rolling.
Few too many
Love, love, love your videos. That lizard had me shook though. I would have been so scared of it. Yikes!
Haha i was expecting to see a shark swim under your kayak. Looks amazing, keep the adventures coming :)
I didn't think you where going to Railay cause you went straight to Ao Nang after Phi Phi. I'm so jealous it's the first place id go tomorrow if I could
Hi paddy, amazing video. Can you please share shop name where we can find these transparent kayaks, we have your thailand itinerary too❤❤
U got better scene , cheaper price hotel with no tourist.thats awesome👍
When Paddy has had too much to drink his videos should go to Comedy Central!
Thank you for bringing a dry bag!
i have been there too,I like often vacation there at Krabi because quite city and more place to make a trips ^-^
