หาดไร่เลย์ - Railay Beach

postcard thailand. this is where all the photos in the guidebooks of thailand come from. turquoise water, soft white sand. many tourists. a holy shrine full of phallus symbols, named princess cave. fishermen pray for more fish there ;) monkeys stealing water bottels. and me rock-climbing through jungle and thick mud in ... *ehm* ... flip-flops.
