Tham Phra Nang — Princess Cave — sits at the end of Phra Nang Beach on the Railay peninsula, and it's a quirk worth the longtail ride. Local fishermen have left carved and painted wooden phalluses as offerings to the sea princess spirit said to live inside, in hope of a good catch. It's free, it's odd, and the beach it's on is one of the best in Thailand. Reach it by longtail from Ao Nang. Combine with a swim at Phra Nang and the climb to the hidden lagoon.
