Location & what to see
Friend Seeker is in Railay East, on the Railay peninsula in Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast. The peninsula is a landscape of limestone cliffs and sandy bays, reached by longtail boat from the mainland, and it is known for rock climbing and diving. The limestone cliffs rise above the beaches, and the scenery is one of the main reasons travellers come to the area. Railay Beach is 600 m from the hostel.
Close by are the beaches of Raile Tawan Ok and Little Rai Ley East, Tufa Cave and the Railay East pier, where boats leave for the mainland. The pier is the main link with the mainland for anyone arriving by boat. On the mainland, Ao Nang Beach, the main resort strip, is 2.3 km away, and Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), a hilltop temple with a long staircase, is 15.3 km away.
A day here can start with a swim at Railay Beach and a visit to Tufa Cave, followed by a climb on the cliffs, since climbing schools are close to the hostel. For a longer outing, boats from the pier also head out to the islands, and the Hong Islands are 43.6 km away.
What guests say
Travellers rate the cleanliness and the location most highly, both at 8.2, and the service follows at 8.0, with the overall score at 7.9.
