Hotels near Ao Nang Beach

Becoming more famous every day as more people experience its delights, Ao Nang is a small beach town in the centre of the Krabi province. The primary industry is tourism, and accommodation in Ao Nang ranges from quant hotels just off the main street to giant beachfront resorts. Whatever you are looking for in a hotel, you will find it in Ao Nang.

Compared to the other tourist hot-spots in the area, Ao Nang is still catching up. This is fantastic for visitors to this idyllic destination, as beaches are nowhere near as crowded as their counterparts in Phuket or on Phi Phi Island. Scuba diving is one of the most popular sports, and it's easy to learn the ropes on a basic dive course. Take a long tail boat to Railay Beach for somewhere even more remote. In this area not accessible by land, you will see monkeys, pristine ocean and crystal clear water and discover a friendly local community.

Adventure lovers, be prepared for an amazing time. The limestone cliffs on the beachfront are perfect to practise your rock climbing skills. Conquer them and enjoy spectacular aerial views out over the bay. Kayaking, snorkelling and calm clear water provide activities for everyone in the family. Grab a small bag of the longan fruit to entice the monkeys close for a picture, as it's a favourite of theirs, but keep your eyes on them or they'll snatch the bag of fruit right out of your hands!

Enjoy cheap and freshly caught seafood at many of the restaurants along the beachfront, then unwind with a couple of drinks at a local bar. Numerous spas, beauty salons and massage parlours offer a little pampering at the end of a hard day's vacation.

Ao Nang's location makes it a great starting point for the hot spots in southern Thailand. Take a long tail boat to Phi Phi in under two hours, or catch one of the daily ferries to Koh Lanta. Ao Nang is in easy reach of every great fishing, diving and kayaking site within the bay. Despite developing with the influx of tourists, Ao Nang retains its laid back charm and small-town feel.
