Located approx. 20 km from Krabi Town, Ao Nang Beach is a lively and famous beach in Krabi. It has convenient living facilities and easy transportation, and most tourists visiting Krabi gather here, similar to Patong Beach in Phuket. A beach with a prime location Ao Nang Beach is located at the northern end of Ao Nang Beach and stands by the sea. Over a hundred elegant and comfortable thatched-roof cottages are scattered among the coconut trees by the sea, and the beach beneath your feet extends to the foot of the famous limestone mountains. At the end of the beach is a cliff covered in lush, primeval forest. Various surroundings and day trips Ao Nang Beach presents a bustling scene every morning at 8 or 9 o'clock. Many boats of all sizes gather by the sea in front of the resorts, carrying tourists to nearby beaches and islands, such as Railay Beach, , and Ko Hong, for one-day island-hopping tours. You can book in Krabi Town or on the street at Ao Nang Beach, where there are many cost-effective agencies. If you are not very fond of island-hopping tours, you can also walk 15 minutes from the beach to Nopharat Thara Beach, which is very quiet and relaxing. The walkway from Ao Nang to here was renovated in 2004. Leisurely vacation time Of course, for those who are more laid-back, you can also just swim, sunbathe, stroll along the beach, and enjoy the sunrise and sunset at Ao Nang Beach. At first glance, the sand at Ao Nang appears brownish-yellow, but it is actually made up of crushed stones and shells of various sizes and colors, which can be prickly on bare feet. The beach itself is not very pretty, but the water is still very clear. Ao Nang is small, so when you are bored, you can also bring a large towel from your hotel, spread it out on the beach like many visitors do, and read a book, listen to music, or chat. However, at night, the street lights illuminate the sidewalk, and open-air restaurants provide a great venue for people to chat, drink beer, and watch the crowds go by. There are also a few restaurants near the pier at the turn of Liab Chai Haad Road between Ao Nang and Nopharat Thara Beach, where the atmosphere is more romantic. All in all, dining in Ao Nang is convenient, and the prices are cheaper than at Railay Beach, but generally slightly more expensive than in Krabi Town.
