Rai Leh

We took a ferry from Koh Samui to Surat Thani where we got on a buss and crossed Thailand to the Andaman Sea side to Krabi where we took a long tail boat to Rai Leh.  Rai Leh has no roads so we walked trails and took boats to get around.  Also Rai Leh is a climbers destination because of the huge cliffs all over the place.  We rented a sea kayak and went out for the day.  Paddling and swimming around those cliffs was just wonderful.

Sea Kayaking 

These cliffs looked like they had melted - like stalagtites hanging on them.

With a place like this we stayed out all day -- about cooked in the tropical sun.

This is one place we stopped to swim because there is a small beach behind those two where the boat can be stashed -- we had a great time.  

The climber's beach was one of our stops

If you look close there's a climber just over the trees on the cliffs.

We had lunch here one day -- pulled up in the sea kayak -- Great place sheltered by the huge cliffs overhang.
