Everything you Need to Know about Ao Nang

Ao Nang

Ao Nang is Krabi's vibrant tourist centre. It has the relaxed atmosphere 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-minute 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 20 minutes from Krabi Town and Klong Muang Beach and a minute or two 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 30 minutes. A watery world of adventure waits.

Ao Nang Nightlife

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

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...

What to See & Do in Ao Nang

Ao Nang Activities

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...

Getting Around Ao Nang

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...
