Welcome to Railay Beach Clubs, Bridge House

---

Let me state my initial bias to this place. It is without doubt my favorite place on Railay Beach. Tucked away on the far side of Railay Beach, nestled against the limestone cliffs, are the 20 acres which make up a private community of houses. What is so special about this place is that the land has been developed and built on sparsely and subtly. It is as close as it is possible to get to the feeling Railay Beach had 15 years ago. This is not a commercial organisation, but is run by the private individuals who own land or houses in this 20 acre sanctuary. Some of these people rent out their luxurious houses some of the time.

Bridge House is One of the biggest of these houses. The house is really three houses connected together with raised walkways and bridges. It was co-designed and built by three friends, each of them designing their own bit. The result is that there are three distinct themes, Thai, Japanese and Western. The house is made entirely of native woods, painstakingly selected and collected by the main architect. He spent a couple of years living in a make shift hut, before he felt he had the right wood, and the right design. Finally he got lucky, and managed to get some of the same crew who had worked on one of the Kings residences to build his dream. The result is to be experienced.

Bridge house has four wings, two Master wings and two Guest wings, all with private baths and decks. We have a large, shared, open air dining "Sala" and kitchen. Below is the main bedroom and deck of Master wing A.

The Lounge area of Master Wing A, and the downstairs guest room.

Everyone is welcome in the Sala (shown below). This open area is used for dinning, relaxing and socialising. Each room has a private bathroom most of which are open air. The one below is from Master Wing A

Guest wing B is nestled in the Frangipani tree tops. The deck is secluded by leafy vines. Below is a view from the deck to the bedroom, with the bathroom out the back.

Guest wing C is tucked away behind the far end corner of the house. This is a great space. Below shown the main bedroom and deck, and the ground floor guest room.

There is no air conditioning in the house, which may be off putting for some. However the house gets a refreshing ocean breeze, particularly in the evening. The other mixed blessing is that the power is on from 6pm-6am. The good thing about the generator here, is that unlike the rest of Railay, they've taken the trouble to sound proof it and burry it, so you can enjoy the sounds of the jungle. If you want to say in secluded luxury, then this really is your best option in Railay. It's the one place I would like to stay most. If you can afford it, I would strongly recommend it.

Below is a view of the Sala with Master Wing D on the second floor. Master wing D is modified Japanese style. This suite is usually only rented to family of the owner.

It should be noted that for each of the wings, the upstairs bedrooms are all great. The "bedroom down" rooms located underneath the bedrooms are not as luxurious and are priced accordingly. These rooms are only available with their upstairs counterparts.

There are three rates for the house. The high season rate runs from November 1 to April 30. The peak season runs from December to January. The low season rates run from May 1 to October 31. It is a good idea to make bookings at least one month in advance.
