About the author

Kylian Dev

Author and editor of Railay-Krabi.com

I love Thailand and have travelled there many times. Here is why I built this guide, how each page is researched, and how to tell me when something has gone out of date.

What this Railay guide covers

Railay-Krabi.com is an independent guide to Railay and the Krabi coast in Thailand. It covers the beaches, the areas to stay in, how to reach Railay by boat, the weather through the year, and the tours and island trips available along the coast. The guide is published in English and German, and every page follows the same research and correction process.

Practical details on this site are cross-checked with official sources where they exist. For protected areas, I rely on the official national park pages. For boat access, I check the published schedules of the boat operators. Live prices and ratings for tours and stays come from the booking partner data, and they can change until you book.

Why this guide exists

Kylian Dev is my pen name. I love Thailand and have travelled there many times, and I build and run a small network of independent travel guides: Thailand Voyager, Koh-Lanta-Island.com, Samos-Island.com and Railay-Krabi.com. The same person writes, verifies and corrects all of them. I write in English, French and German, so the pages published in these languages come from the same editorial process.

I wanted guides that are clear about where their information comes from. Travel pages often mix facts, opinions and advertising without saying which is which. Here, practical details are checked against official sources, affiliate links are labelled as sponsored, and no place pays to be listed or recommended. The goal is simple: give you information you can verify yourself before you book or travel.

How I work

Every page starts with a research phase, then each practical claim is cross-checked with official sources: authorities, national parks, national weather services, transport operators, and entry and visa rules. Prices, schedules and travel times are given as indications and checked on the date shown on the page. When an official source says something different, the official source wins and the page is corrected.

Live prices and ratings for tours and stays come from booking partners such as GetYourGuide and Trip.com, and they can change until you book. Affiliate links are marked as sponsored, and no recommendation is sold or exchanged. Every page has a button to report outdated information. I read these reports and apply corrections quickly, then update the date shown on the page.

In short

  • I write and maintain this guide in English.
  • I check boat access against operator schedules.
  • I show live tour prices from the booking partner.
  • I correct outdated pages as soon as you report them.
