Escaping the crowds in Ao Nam Mao

Situated in one of Thailand's lesser known areas, Ao Nam Mao Beach remains relatively untouched by the country's tourism industry, offering a tranquil environment for you to relax away from large crowds. The pristine water has an alluring pull, but there’s also a lot of fun to be had browsing through the local markets and horse riding along the sand.

Only a few hotels are located right on the beachfront including the family-friendly Krabi Tropical Beach Resort and the Arawan Krabi Beach Resort, which has rooms on the water’s edge. Further inland you can find little island paradises in the form of the Thip Residence Boutique Hotel and Krisda Villa Eco Boutique Hotel.

A slice of all worlds in Ao Nang

From picture-perfect beaches and lush inland forests, to wild nightclubs and a thriving sporting scene, Ao Nang has everything you could need in one place. Finding the perfect balance between untouched landscape and lively culture, Ao Nang is the best place to experience Thailand’s diverse range of activities such as massage and beauty salons, water sports and elephant trekking.

Due to its lack of crowds, Ao Nang doesn’t have as many hotels as other Thailand locations. However, you can still find quality accommodation at places such as the intimate Haleeva Sunshine Hotel and the four-star Aonang Naga Pura Beach Resort & Spa.

Classic Thai tourism and culture in Krabi Town

Thailand is an eccentric country with colourful places and people. Few locations show these eccentricities off better than Krabi Town. The nearest beach is about 30 minutes out of town, but within Krabi Town you’ll be able to experience that vibrant nightlife and shopping scene that has set the country apart from other island destinations.

Jump into utter luxury at the Dee Andaman Hotel, featuring private balconies and a swim-up pool bar. Closer to the Krabi River is the Krabi City Seaview Hotel possessing a warm and homely atmosphere, and rooms with a river view.
