Tonsai Bay Resort

Tonsai Bay Resort is located on Tonsai Beach, a small and secluded stretch of sand north of Railay West. The hotel can only be reached by boat, which is about a 10-minute journey from Ao Nang Pier. This, combined with the spectacular scenery of Tonsai Bay, makes the resort a paradise for nature lovers and those who come to Krabi to get away from it all.

You can choose between a Deluxe or Superior room or villa. The villas offer more space and privacy, especially the detached ones which sit at the foot of a cliff. The decor throughout the rooms is basic and a bit dated, but everything is clean and well maintained.

There isn’t a gym, but you don’t really need one: the activities on offer will be enough to keep you fit. The bay’s cliffs are some of the most popular spots in Krabi for climbing, and the hotel rents out gear and offers classes. There is also kayaking, snorkeling, and diving, both in Tonsai and in neighboring Railay.

During low tide, you can walk to Railay Beach along the shore. Overall, staying in Tonsai Bay allows you to enjoy all the bars and restaurants of more touristy Railay, while staying somewhere much more peaceful.
