East Railay Viewpoint — Attraction in Krabi Province

This climb is not for everyone.. Do not bring your children or your non rock climbing wife or girlfriend or out of shape friend. It can be an aggressive climb. Good hiking and or rock climbing skills preferred. As others have said the climb ( and it is a climb) to the viewpoint is much easier, the climb in and out of the Lagoon can be difficult.

Totally an unforgettable experience. But again make sure to look after your...

You may get a bit dirty especially if it has rained recently. The views are spectacular though and due to the nature of the climb it's very quiet at the actual viewpoint, we were the only ones there at sunset!

The climb down is a bit harder than the climb up, so make sure you've got a bit of experience scrambling or are in half decent shape (if you're someone with dodgy knees I'd think twice about...
