You step off the longtail onto sugar-white sand and the limestone cliffs of Railay loom above like a vertical shore. Salt air tugs at your hair, motorboats murmur away, and a guide fits a harness with efficient, practiced hands. Within minutes you’re learning to belay, fingers fumbling through the rope’s rhythm while the Andaman Sea laps just beyond the base of the wall.
