Aonang อ่าวนาง

Aonang, Krabi Province (4 November, 2005)


Aonang อ่าวนาง (GPS: 8.03126, 98.82197) is a small town and subdistrict of Krabi Province. This is where you will find all the tourist infrastructure, such as hotels, chalets, guesthouses, restaurants, convenient stores, even tailors (there is a proliferation of tailors in all South Thailand resorts, including Ko Samui and Phuket, since the cost of doing a suit is just a fraction of the cost to do one back home in a western country.)

Aonang has reinvented itself from a quiet fishing village to become one of the major tourist destinations of Thailand. What makes Aonang so special, and so different from other beachfronts in mainland South Thailand, is the beach itself. Scattered across the horizon, like a wide screen movie, are islands of different shapes and sizes, limestone islands invited to be explored. Some are uninhabited, while others have sprouted a resort or two, and one, Phi Phi archipelago, has develped into major tourist destinations in its own right, eclipsing Aonang.

Boats are available from Aonang Beach and Noppharat Thara Beach to explore the outlying islands. Some are little more than outcrops in the sea, like Ko Tap and Ko Mor, and each has its own beauty to be appreciated.
