Krabi after the Tsunami: Railay


Special Report

Railay BeachRailay Beach was hit hard by the wave, as can be seen in some photos at www.railay.com.

However, as of today, hardly any signs of destruction can be found in West Railay. The beach and the beachfront bars looks just fine, there is just some minor renovation taking place in a few beachfront resorts.

In East Railay you can see some branches of trees or garbage trapped in some bushes, but that's about it. Discount!!!Walking from East Railay towards Phra Nang Beach, you realise that the 5-star Rayavadee Premier Resort is still closed and that there is a lot of renovation works going on at that place.

Overall, it seems the restaurants and hotels in Railay are pretty relaxed about the tsunami itself, as can be seen in the way they advertise their current discounts...
