Worth agreeing on before you meet

Phra Nang Cave is Sacred

The cave at Phra Nang Beach is a genuine place of worship dedicated to a sea goddess. The carved wooden offerings inside are sacred objects, not decorations. Treat the site with respect — do not touch or move offerings, and keep voices low near the shrine.

Beach Dress Code

Swimwear is appropriate on the beaches but cover up when walking through the village areas and entering restaurants or shops. Thai people find public semi-nudity in non-beach contexts uncomfortable — a sarong or shorts take 5 seconds to put on.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Railay Beach travel guide.
