    Railay Beach

    You want to experience something you won't see anywhere else? So get ready: tonight the sea will light up for you. After you pick up at your hotel, you board a small traditional boat as the sun begins to set. The sky is tinted orange and pink, the light becomes soft, and already, the atmosphere is magical. Head to a secret spot a few minutes from Railey. Here, the magic works: as soon as you enter the water, thousands of bioluminescent plankton light up with every move you make. It’s like swimming in a galaxy, except you’re in it for real. You are supervised by a friendly local guide, equipped with vest, mask, and everything you need to enjoy safely and stress-free. No need to be a great swimmer, just the desire to marvel and live a moment out of time.
