On Railay Beach in Krabi, Thailand, the most beautiful beach is Phra Nang (or Pranang) Cave Beach. If you stay at the resort right on the beach, you'd pay over $400 a night. But you can spend about $70 a night on Railay East and walk for ten minutes to get to this gorgeous location. The water is warm and perfectly clear, and the sand is nearly white. You can swim to the limestone cliff you see in the picture and swim in the shallow water. Zack made me pose this way for the picture to the left, but I actually ended up liking the shot because I look skinny (hooray for sucking it in!).
At the bottom of one of the limestone cliffs is the Princess Cave, where local fisherman leave offerings such as phallic symbols and garlands in the hopes of potency and prosperity. It's dedicated to an ancient fertility goddess, and it's an interesting, colorful sight.
This place is also beautiful at night. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunset on the perfect beach; Thailand is an amazing country!
