One of the most beautiful beaches I have seen in my travels so far was in Railay, Thailand. Phra Nang Beach is the postcard destination you dream of and even when you’re there, it still seems like you’re looking directly at a postcard. Surreal.

Friends met along the road. I'm on the right.

I swam to the island. Not as close as I thought it would be.
