The next morning I woke up and hiked up to this viewpoint. The trail was steep like a ladder and had a rope strung up through the trees to help you climb. The view was nice, the picture there is of the east side of Railay. You can see that the beach is very shallow and kind of muddy, with a bunch of mangroves on the northern part of the beach. At low tide you can walk out hundreds of yards and it will only still be knee deep. Luckily the beach on the west side is but a few minutes away and is great for swimming. After hanging out at the viewpoint for a bit I hiked back into the jungle and followed some signs to the lagoon...
How hard is it to get to this viewpoint? Is it difficult to find or unsafe? I'm there in July and would love to get a photo like yours.
