Ao Nang is a small seaside village on the Thai mainland just over half way from Phuket to Krabi by road.

It is well renowned for its scenic bay and white sandy beaches that stretch to the base of a prominent limestone range.

Not only is accommodation available along the main beach road but you will also find other facilities such as diving shops, canoes for hire, small restaurants and boats for rent.

Ao Nang is a great place to visit many of the small islands with affordable boat hire rates.
