Can anyone identify the location of this image?

Unknown Location Image

A few websites claim that it is from Neil Island in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands of India. But it is not correct as far as I know. None of my friends who visited Neil Island recollect seeing such a place there.

Replies with proofs (i.e. without guess-work like "It could be xyz..." ) like similar photographs taken or with lat-long coordinates will be extremely helpful.

It reminded me of the classic Halong Bay shots.
Google image search included "Neil Island" in the search box.
Replacing that with "Halong" gave several appropriate hits including this 1440 x 900 version correctly identifying it as Railay beach - as Tom has already advised.

Also here at 1440 x 810
