Pai Plong Beach

Stunning bay that you reach through the Monkey trail. Views are epic and it’s less crowded than Ao Nang Beach. Worth it.

Reached via the Monkey Trail, at low tide you can also walk through the sea. The beach is very beautiful and the water is clear.

Beautiful white sand beach, which can be accessed from Ao Nang Beach by walking along the Monkey Trail or by boat. Very quiet and well-kept. Better in my opinion for sunbathing and bathing than Ao Nang itself.recommendable

Great beach to stay a day there.
However i wouldn’t to stay there for the holidays. It’s too noisy because of the boots going to/from Railay all day long. You don’t hear beautiful nature around. Just boats

Unlike Ao Nang Beach, there were few people and I spent a great time relaxing and soaking up the sun here. You can reach it from Ao Nang Beach on foot. About 20min. Please keep in mind that you'd better take some bottles of water because there is nowhere you can buy them.

It's a nice enough beach, the walk to it via the monkey path is short, about 10 minutes. The beach was a lot quieter than ao nang with a resort or two along it.
The water is super polluted, it's murky for the first 100 meters or so, which appears to be just sand in the water, but when you leave the sea you're covered in a thin grime. Wouldn't recommend.

A very nice little beach, if you do not hire a boat to bring you to beach, then you can use the moutaintrail from Ao Nang beach.

If you choos the hike, then you have to know it is not a walk for totally beginners and it will easaly take 30 minutes.

The stairs leading over the moutain are very basic, and you will meet monkeys on the way.

I did not had a problem with the monkeys as i just ignored them, I reccomend you do the same.

Ah très belle plage un peu de marche pour y arriver en partant de ao nang environ 10 bonne minutes
Une fois la bas un policier vous demande de remplir un registre nom et heure d'arriver puis en partant votre heure de départ
Un hotel est à cette plage

Reminds exclusive beach, and most goers are from the hotel. But true to thai custome all beaches are public.

Beautiful beach, more than Ao Nang, not that much people, maybe because of the monkey trail you have to pass through, there is a hotel area you cant get in, you dont buy here anything to eat and drink.

Beautiful place, 10 min walk from ao nang.be prepared to hear a lot of sea traffic noises.also, the color of the sea was kinda weird and smelly. 27.12.17

Nicer beach than the others we visited and it was right outside our door as staying at the Centara Grand. Nice to dine on at night.

Better than ao nang but seems to be reserved for that one big resort there.nothing there to see except for the monkey trail you'd have to take to get there.

It is semi private beach making it not too crowded. Good for surf beginner and enjoy little sea swimming. Going here needs to pass a 10 minute walking trail in the side of coral Hill. Worth walking though

Go through the hidden green pass on the west side od the crowded Ao Nang beach and relax on this much more appealing one!
