Ao Nang Guide
Everything you need to know about Ao Nang
Ao Nang is Krabi's vibrant tourist centre. It has the relaxed vibe of a small town, the beauty of a beach resort, the modern comforts of home, and the friendliness that sets Thailand apart.
The town itself is small; a 30 minutes-long stroll takes you from one end to the other. Given that floating buildings are impractical and sheer cliffs don't readily lend themselves to development, this paradise won't be paved over anytime soon.
By road, Ao Nang is just minutes from Krabi Town and Klong Muang Beach and mere seconds to Noppharat Thara Beach. Via the sea, Railay's beaches - including Ton Sai - and a grab bag of small, intimate islands are nearby. Pick a direction and give your waterborne taxi thirty minutes. A world of adventure waits.

Where to Stay in Ao Nang - Editor's Hotel Guide
The small town of Ao Nang is the primary launching point for fun in the sun, and just to the northwest is the quieter and less visited Nopparat Thara. They’re so close, it’s tough to tell where one stops and the other begins. (Read more...)
What to See &
Do in Ao Nang
Room service can bring you food, ice, and small items on special request but seeing the sights and participating in the action will require – brace yourself – getting out bed. And it’s worth the effort. Reached by a short stroll or a respectable hike, in the belly of a boat or the back of a truck, the Krabi experience is never far away. (Read more...)
Ao Nang Restaurants
You will not go hungry in Ao Nang. Whether your appetite finds you gravitating towards rice or fleeing from it, options abound. Ambiance ranges from street side cafeteria to upscale class replete with candles and - gasp! - real cloth napkins. (Read more...)
Ao Nang Nightlife
Ao Nang's nightlife is as crazy as Krabi gets. But it's not Bangkok, Pattaya, nor Phuket; not even close. It's mild-mannered and mellow. It's watching the sunset, shooting a game of pool, and meeting new people from all parts of the globe. (Read more...)
Ao Nang Shopping
Shopping is excruciating enough in an air-conditioned mega-mall. It would be inhumane, impossible, even torturous, under the tropical sun. Wait for the sunshades to retract, the umbrellas to fold, and the sun to retreat. Bargain without being under the influence of sunstroke. (Read more...)
Getting Around Ao Nang
Ao Nang isn't that big, while it's nice to stroll in the evening, by day it's best to save your energy and avoid being fried by the sun. Some of the islands and beaches cannot be reached by road so other modes of transport step in. (Read more...)
