Most Beautiful Place on Earth Our Thailand Life | Krabi + Railay Beach Tour
last time in delightful travellers we visited the crazy Sunday night market in Old Town Phuket the street food was delicious and let's just say unique in this video we're headed to Krabi to visit one of the most beautiful places in Thailand relay Beach this place is heaven on Earth and you're about to see why I'm Anna and this is Trevor in the series we're finally experiencing one of our bucket list dreams living in Thailand make sure to hit subscribe and click the like button so you don't miss a single video a huge thanks to our channel members and patrons for making these videos possible welcome to Railay Beach well today we just might be standing in one of the most beautiful locations we've ever been in we are not in Phuket anymore we've come over to Krabi and we're in an area called railay it's absolutely stunning but throughout the course of the video we're going to be talking about what we've liked about living in Thailand this our general thoughts I suppose and what we liked and what we didn't like first off we have to thank you guys for recommending crabby we knew this place is pretty special coming in but so many of you left comments saying this is one of the most beautiful places in all of Thailand that is wild now we are on a beach right now in Railay called phra nang or phra nang I'm not sure of the exact pronunciation this place is over the top special and beaches are one of the things we really want to talk about today because there's no shortage of them in Thailand so if you've been following along you'd already know that we haven't really had the best weather while we've been here in Thailand we are in High season kind of at the end of rainy season into my season but it's not been good at all we'll talk about that a little bit more when we're talking about our pros and cons of being here but we've definitely got some good beach days in thankfully we had you know a few good days here and there we really took advantage of it that's the thing about Thailand is that it's known for its amazing beaches I mean it's one of the top beach destinations in the entire world and can you see why so for those of you that do not know we spent the last month and some living in Phuket and it was amazing but the weather didn't cooperate but we still got up to some things yeah basically whenever the wet weather was good we tried to go to as many beaches as possible we did some island hopping went to some local beaches we went to some different towns we saw some really crazy beaches so we tried to do as much as we could and even though those beaches were spectacular nothing comes close to this we were just surrounded by these enormous Limestone Cliffs and turquoise water with white sand everywhere you look we knew it was going to be amazing here but not this good we've been to some pretty amazing beaches around the world and a few different places that have pretty amazing Limestone Cliffs as well kind of reminds us you know a little bit of like the in the Dominican Republic we went on some epic epic day trips one where we actually lost our drone I think because of the interference with these Place crazy types of cliffs so it kind of reminds me a little bit of like a Long Bay in Vietnam but they don't really have the beaches there they just have like crazy crazy Cliffs but I think most it reminds us of El Nido in the Philippines if you're somewhat new around here you might not know that during the pandemic you got stuck there for four months so we've spent a significant amount of time there and those of you might also know that we spent a significant amount of time in El Nido with another couple not just our friends some very special friends some other fellow YouTubers that we haven't seen since then it's been how long two and a half years two and a half years we're about to see them before we meet up with our friends we just wanted to say a huge thanks to this week's sponsor native native's plastic free

sponsoring this video and supporting creators like us now back to the Vlog all right are you guys ready to uh ready to see who it is I think some of them know it's Chris and Carol jumping place jumping places they probably anytime we meet up with other YouTubers and we say you know I asked them to guess they always guest jumping places they do this time you guys were right if that's what you get so I think let's just do a group hug the last time we saw them we did it so finally finally finally I think every week we get asked when are you meeting tonight yeah it happens a lot here we are two years later what do we have like a week together yep awesome I think so going around here yeah it's gonna be fun similar to where we were last time yeah it's very it's like we probably picked the most of those in the world yeah that wasn't intentional no we're not we're Beach Bums let's face it yeah so it's pretty neat there's all these uh rock climbers climbing up these Cliffs it's absolutely insane to me but a lot of people come to relay to specifically climb these crazy crazy rocks but what is this over here all right well this is uh this is something this is one of the more interesting things we've ever seen on a beach there are a bunch of caves around here this one there's two of them here is a shrine I think to fertility you guys can sort of see what's around um it's a penis cave we can just say that I think it's okay to say that word hopefully we don't get demonetized for saying that but yeah you can see all these uh well I don't know what the floral is a good question I honestly can't get over these Cliffs they're actually dripping a little bit there's like water coming out of them but they're also looming above us they're so like domineering and just crazy looking probably no big pieces like fall off onto us but we do need to talk about another topic and that is the weather we've talked about it a lot but I've talked about it a lot but it's been like kind of the overarching thing of our time here we expected to come in High season and get good weather usually what we hear is at the end of October start of November is when High season starts and usually the weather is really really good people have told us the last few years it seems to like push up basically the wet season is pushing into November and this year into December I don't know if it's going to become a regular thing or not like we're well well well into December as we film this and it's just it's a little bit better here in Krabi but it's still as you can probably see overcast you never know when it's gonna rain sometimes it just randomly starts to rain it seems like typical wet season stuff to us but it's supposed to be it's nice and funny so if we're being completely honest the weather has been the most disappointing part about our time here in Thailand so far it is unfortunate we didn't get to do all the things we wanted to in phukem we were here for well over a month but that's okay we're still having an amazing time in the country and on rainy days we're still having a lot of fun water's feeling a little bit chilly surprisingly I don't know if I'd say chili but compared to Phuket which was basically like bath water it's slightly cooler but it's definitely refreshing because it's hot I know this actually is a good angle for the clips and the GoPro kind of picks it up a little better look at this you guys like I can't even capture it all there is Cliffs everywhere you can see these islands off in the distance it's so so amazing here it's epic one thing we're really happy about is the decision we made to come to the south of Thailand because we were this close to going to Chiang Mai and we still want to go to the north and see Chiang Mai don't worry and we'll probably do that at some point but coming to the South is exactly what we needed this is just over the top there's not too many places on this planet that look like this I mean you guys the sun is isn't even out at the moment and this is still over the top we just can't stop talking about what we're looking at all the time here in Thailand so you guys know we've been trying to like really slow travel and just stay in a place for a while and get to sort of get a feel for it we can find a month now it doesn't feel like long enough and we're loving it clearly but these guys jump around a lot that's why we have the channel name they don't play food yeah so we usually do like uh four or five nights yeah in each Place we've never done like you guys where it's a month would you ever think about it yeah we're actually planning to do that in maybe February so we're we're still not sure where we're going to be but we want to stay for a month like I just find it so I don't think I could do it anymore like four or five days like after two weeks I'm like yeah yeah we still now we seem to do it for like a month or so at a time but then in between places we jump around like jump places yeah every what like four or five days yeah it's been like a month somewhere and then a few weeks like going to a bunch of different places and then spend another month somewhere but now that you've gotten used to like doing a month probably if you do a shorter thing it just seems way too I believe in a month doesn't seem like even here like six days here I could be I could live here for a month this is awesome the pathway to get to that beach is just crazy you guys look at the Rocks like look at this let me know if you can see them I have to put the camera down like really really low but when you're in town it kind of when you look over in this direction it just looks like it's all clipped so we actually thought maybe we'd have to like hike up something but now it's all like the paper look at this stuff it's it's everywhere you walk well there's a lot of people down here also on the way here there was monkeys so we're hoping we can kind of uh catch some monkeys not literally catch them just catch them on camera well we found them there are a lot of monkeys around here they seem to be in various places generally when it seems to be When there's less people but there are quite a few people walking through here but during the season up there this guy's super Brave he's just kind of uh hanging out checking everybody out don't see this too often he's looking for some bananas or something to steal do you have a banana girl there's a sign back there that says don't be the monkeys ah you're being very brave I'm surprised or I'm not grabbing your GoPro you just don't look at them in the eye ah if you do eyes contact we've just come out now to the east side of Rayleigh Beach so basically the way Rayleigh works is there's a beach on one side and then across the way once you go through town which we're about to do there's another Beach of course you just saw the beach we were at so there's so much to do here I can't wait to show them town I know it's a really neat town so I don't know if you explained kind of the lay of the land it actually feels like an island here even though we are in the mainland you just can't access because of the cliffs that are around us you can't access it by land you have to come by boats there's no cars or anything here I know so that's why there's all these boats and there's extra people here right now because some of them come for day tours a lot of people come for day tours yeah and they all leave at night and then it kind of quiets out and we're staying here so it's pretty cool speaking of boats that is how you get here it's the only way to get here since there are no roads in and out and once you're here you're on your feet maybe you could get a bike perhaps but most people just walk around the town itself is very very small so very very walkable as well so let's discuss transportation in general there is lots of public transport here in Thailand it's probably your cheapest option you can hire taxis you sound up to actually be quite expensive more so than even taxis so be aware of that we actually found it was a lot easier and cheaper to get a taxi there's no doubt though that scooters are king not just in Thailand but like all of Southeast Asia not not where we're at right now though everyone's yeah nothing motorized here everyone's on foot but if you're wondering where we are we're in kind of like the main I guess some call it like the main book path where all the restaurants are yeah this is where everybody goes to eat most I think I say the majority others in the hotels the restaurants are along here so this is definitely where you end up if you're coming to it well there's tons of restaurants there's lots of little shops to buy things you can buy clothing you can buy jewelry it's got everything you need book your tours it really doesn't seem like there's a lot of uh people here huh I know what I wonder if today's a Friday that we are filming we got here a couple days ago it hasn't been too busy I wondered if it's going to get busier for the weekend just like people that live in Thailand coming for the weekends we'll see right now it's not bad I know it's cool like you got these like little stands you can get coconuts there's these kind of like raster like Jamaican bars yeah there's a lot of them around they used to be really really common here definitely come alive a little bit more at night but we're usually not out late so imagine once we head back in it gets a little bit livelier but it has been really really quiet it's a nice thing we've really enjoyed about Thailand so far because I know I don't know if like tourism is entirely picked up but the nice thing in Phuket we stayed in were why it was pretty quiet but then you can get busier places like Patong and here hasn't been busy at all so Chris and Carol just headed back over to their Beach it's called tonsai Beach so make sure to check their video out they'll have one you'll see a bit more of that beach and a little bit of today and we're hoping to get out with them one more time while we're here so we'll see but we're coming up on the Main Beach here in relay now it just kind of keeps getting better and better and better you guys look at the white sand again these enormous Limestone Clips huh yeah so this is Rayleigh Beach West so this is the West Side before you we showed you the east side it really is like one little area beaches on or like water on each side and then Cliffs on the other two sides it's really not a big area very very walkable like we said before it's kind of hotels on one side then we have that walking Street then you just have another Cliff over there and I think where Chris apparel are staying is just beyond that Cliff there it's like the second Cliff over how about these boats though you guys so we mentioned that you can do island hopping tours from here these are what you normally would take these are the long tail boats you can also hire a speed boat so fingers crossed again hoping for good weather we might get out to one of the islands I know there's the famous peepee islands are here but there's also so many other islands like Hong island sounds very attractive to us but I need to bring up one thing so far Rayleigh relay Beach you've been hard on my travel gear and I'll explain why first I broke my suitcase my luggage that we travel around with is busted not sure what we're gonna do because there's nowhere I can buy any luggage at the moment also the scenes earlier I broke the GoPro the GoPro is broken I mean I didn't do it somehow water got inside of it and it almost blew up basically it overheated and it's all burnt marks the battery is gone so now we're down one GoPro and down a suitcase so one of the must-do things here is to catch the sunset you probably heard me say we're on the west side so supposedly there are amazing sunsets I've seen some videos some photos but the sky is just super cotton candy last couple of nights it's been really cloudy so it hasn't been the most epic Sunset so I think now the plan is going to take a little bit of a break go relax and you get some work done for a little while then come back out for Sunset and fingers crossed it will be a good one well we found a great little spot here to have a beer and wait for the sun to go down just know that there's not a lot of like restaurants right here on the beach where you can kind of wait for that to happen if you want to get a beer there's the main street we showed you earlier but at the end of the main street there's only two kind of little places you can go then there's a few hotels but some of the hotels don't have alcohol so know that most people just sit on the beach bring their own drinks and they wait for the Sun but I think it's time we talk about safety you guys asked us just in general did we feel safe in Thailand this whole time all the way from Bangkok all the way down to Phuket and know that we most times feel safe anywhere we travel in the world but here it feels extra safe so if you're worried about that don't be there's a whole different level of respect when it comes to Thai people in general it just we just feel safe as Taurus they treat foreigners with respect and I think that's a lot of Asians in general are like that so if you're ever ever concerned about that don't be we're having a great time in this country as you can see it just keeps getting better wherever we go and now I think the uh well the main event is about to happen well that was a spectacular Sunset we know it can be better here in Raleigh but it's still amazing to see now it's dark out you can see all all the lights in the town we're on the hunt for something special I don't think we can do a video talking about how much we've enjoyed or the things that we've liked about living in Thailand and not talk about Thai food and how delicious it is so maybe we go find somewhere to eat the place we chose is called local Thai food I love the name look at this we got some massaman Curry can't wait to eat it and then kind of like a yellow spicy noodle dish and uh we're so excited to eat this we already said this has been the one thing that has not disappointed us at all in Thailand the food just keeps knocking it out of the park here we absolutely love it let's dig into this so first off I want to try this massaman Curry one of my favorites it's not overly spicy and I do tend to gravitate towards spicier things but this is one of my favorites in terms of non-spicy grease it's usually really rich very Curry Ford this one's like a weird thing to say kind of peanutty we got chicken in there I see some potatoes peanuts onions it just sounds really like rich and Hearty it's uh loud in the background a lot happening and that is absolutely incredible it doesn't disappoint basically everything I just said about it being really rich really flavorful but it's not too spicy so this is the way to go if you want to come to Thailand you want to try a really really flavorful yummy curry without the spice it's so good all right I'm going for this spicy noodle dish look at all the veggies on here you guys I think that's zucchini there's some tofu red pepper I think there's a carrot on here as well this is what we come to Thailand for [Music] this is superb he asked us how spicy we want the spicy noodles to be when we were Frank with them we said we like spice like a lot we let you guys know you watch this we like however we said to him we don't want 100 spicy like you would have been but way more than anybody else any other tourists in this place and he said like 80 and we said yeah I would say this is a solid 80 it's spicy first bite was spicy by the time we're done to this I'm gonna be sweating I'm gonna have sweat under my eyelids but it's so good I love that we have chicken massimon in one that it's like a smooth creamy really good and then this one hot peppery lots of veggies lots of crunch can't be food and Thailand you guys you just cannot beat the food in Thailand well what what a day this was being in Rayleigh beach has been one of our ultimate goals of travel for a long time and we made it here and it did not disappoint me I know so many people recommended us and as we are posting or as we're here and we're posting Instagram stories also seeing a lot of people saying oh that's my favorite place in Thailand so it's a very popular loved place do you get what I mean I totally I totally understand now that we're here it's beautiful I love the Thailand has this is magical and to be honest the best part of the day isn't just a great location we're in we got to get back reunited with our good friends Jumping Places we've talked to them for so long over the past two and a half years and the gangs back together what a day finally we've been trying like seriously trying to get it's not like we haven't tried we're always in contact with each other and it just never works out and it finally did so we think we're gonna have another video with if the weather holds we're gonna go out and do some fun things that is the plan at the moment if it doesn't you'll probably see us somewhere else we're not quite sure yet probably back in Bangkok but this has been such a great day but back to the topic of the video yeah so do we love or like living here in general it's been amazing unfortunately the weather has just been harping on about the weather but it's just been such a downer it is so unpredictable so hard to plan everything the weather isn't perfect we would be so in love with this place yeah we we have to be honest like you know sometimes you guys are saying to us like you just show the highlight reels and sometimes you're like just be honest about things and we are like the weather has been the pits we'll call it that if I were you guys and it was you were coming next year I would probably come anywhere from like mid-December and on that seems to be what the locals are saying now but it's not it was not supposed to be raining mid-December now as we film this late December even and it's still a little better so maybe January February will be wonderful but everything else has made up for it like honestly being in Phuket Bing in Bangkok being here all of the food the Thai people yeah honestly all you guys watching don't think for a moment we don't appreciate each and every one of you watching everyone knew that picked us up thank you so much everyone that's not new you guys mean so much to us especially all the patrons patrons and channel members you guys are the absolute best but thank you so much for all of your support so I'm going uh to edit a video now we're gonna head back home I need to find a coffee and we'll see you guys in the next video all right guys that's it from railay wishing you delightful travel see you soon
