Can you kayak from Ao Nang to Railay?
One of the best days of my south east Asia trip was in Thailand when I rented a kayak -aptly named ‘nomad’- and made the solo voyage from Ao Nang to Railay Beach. I set off from Ao Nang at about around 11am after renting a one-man kayak for $11USD from a lovely old couple on the beach.

Ao Nang is a great stepping off place for a variety of day trips and island trips. Plenty of accommodation and dining choices, stunning scenery and easy access to tour choices. Whilst Railay is stunning, it can be enjoyed as a day trip from Ao Nang.
