Nightlife Guide for Railay Beach Thailand

Railay is a very active at night during the tourist high season. Activities include parties, fire dancing, music, boxing, dining, and just hanging out. There’s a big difference in the styles of the two largest beaches, Railay West and Railay East. East has more music and entertainment, although neither beach is as active as some other areas. West is a great place to just chill out and appreciate the beauty of the night.
