Everything you need to know about Klong Muang Beach
Klong Muang Beach is a quiet area, a place to leave the crowds
behind. A few years there was almost nothing here apart from a beautiful
beach.
Several hotel groups 'discovered' Klong Muang at around the same
time and now it's an established upmarket area for five star and
boutique hotels with more to come.
The local village at the back of the beach is still in its infancy
with a few shops, including the obligatory tailor's shop and a handful
of restaurants.
5 Star | Sea Views | Secluded | Boutique
Hotel | Ideal for Couples
This boutique hotel has just 36 villas, the very definition of peace
and quiet. About as ‘away from it all’ as is possible. The beach
is a little rocky, but the lounge area around the pool is nearby.
Exudes an air of distinction; not ideal for children.
5 Star | Sea Views | Good Facilities
| Ideal for Families
A great all-inclusive resort experience from a trusted name. Very
little within walking distance, but the hotel runs a shuttle to
Ao Nang. Grounds are expansive; plenty of room for the kids to run.
Good selection of activities, including tennis courts, 246 rooms.
Klong Muang is undisturbed - almost available solely for its exclusive
guests and a few fishermen. The white sand beach seems to go on
forever along the coast, with a small island at one end - home to
local seabirds and rockpools full of life.
It's the kind of beach, to just sit and contemplate, especially
at sunset. Dozens of tiny islands lie dotted on the horizon and
to the south, at Laem Ham Nak, is a Royal residence of the Princess.
What to Do in Klong Muang
Relax on the beach and enjoy the view. If you feel energetic you
could take a local tour. A couple of operators organise kayaking
and other tours around the Klong Muang area.
Klong Muang Dining & Nightlife
There are a few small, restaurants and shops outside the resort
grounds. In Klong Muang, it's excellent food, good company, and
a moonlight stroll along the beach, rather than a vibrant nightlife
that's on the menu in other places. But then Klong Muang is maintaining
a low profile, which is why the five star hotels are located there.
Ao Nang is only fifteen minutes away by car for those looking
for some life.
