Railay Beach, Krabi, Thailand

Anchored at Railay Beach in the tranquil Andaman Sea of southern Thailand, this traditional longtail boat rests against the powdery sands under a canopy of limestone cliffs. Its pointed bow adorned with colorful ribbons gently touches the water while mooring lines stretch out to secure it firmly ashore. In the distance, another vessel floats idly near imposing karst formations that rise majestically from the sea, completing an idyllic scene under a sky streaked with wispy clouds.
