When I thought of coming to Thailand, Railay is what I pictured, though I didn't have the name for it yet. Two-and-a-bit months after arriving, I got there.
Atmospheric bungalow, complete with mosquito netting in Ao Nang, where we stayed on Friday night.

West Railay Beach. Railay is popular with rock climbers, and you can see why.

Me with scenery.
Can you imagine growing up here, with this as your "normal"?
Mudflats and mangroves on East Railay.
Enjoying the patio at Ya Ya's. Matt from Australia, Mike from Denmark, and Simon, my UVIC partner in crime. Or I suppose it's law. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
It's a cat's life.
Cats and dogs have it tough in Thailand. It was nice to see this feline enjoying itself.
Grilled corn on the beach. You could also buy jewelry, beer, massages, and pedicures.
Blue, blue, blue.
Apparently some scenes from "The Man With the Golden Gun" were shot around here.
More gratuitous beauty.

Colleen--in the interest of honesty, the bikini pic is carefully cropped!
Sarah - nope missed that restaurant - didn't see it. But I did eat some delish beach corn on the cob.
