Only Freedom Bar left at Tonsai at Railay

"Dr 8a", Björn Alber reports from Railay that all bars but Freedom Bar have been demolished in order to make room for a big hotel. As it stands, there will only be the upper bungalows and a walk way from Freedom bar that will be left. Already now, some of the path to Railay has been improved by concrete. - When the new hotel will be constructed and by whom, nobody knows but it might not be just bad as clearly they will bring in better water quality and sanitation. You can still get a nice bungalow below Euro 10 but a future option could be to stay in Ao'nang where you know have some 300 routes within 15 minutes and it is like a third of the price. The good news for Railay is that the Titanium projects goes well and most popular routes have been rebolted with Titanium and that goes also for the probably 50 new routes the last year.
