Half-day beginner courses on Railay are standard — 1,000–1,500 baht, gear included, guides certified. Routes 5.6–5.9, you won't lead. Book dawn or late afternoon to avoid heat. No experience needed; reasonable fitness yes. Railay East shops cluster — compare 2 quotes. Not interchangeable with deep-water solo climbing — stick intro course. Great even if you just swim otherwise.

Flip-flop approach walk — wear trainers, limestone cuts feet.
