	Ao Nang is a little Andaman Sea gem, with crystal clear, turquoise waters, pristine beaches and all the modern amenities that Westerners have become accustomed to. Ao Nang is busy but hasn’t lost that laid back, friendly small-town feel; it is developed but still retains its original beauty and charm. Ao Nang has something to make everyone smile and has all the essential components of a good holiday.
Ao Nang has numerous spas, beauty shops and massage parlours to offer you a little bit of pampering. Thai full- body massages lasting an hour cost around 250 Baht and, though you often feel that you are being pushed and pulled in every direction, you will feel rejuvenated afterwards. Ao Nang even has a Traditional Finnish Sauna, although we don’t have the icy lakes to plunge into afterwards.
	Ao Nang has all standards of accommodation to cater to everyone’s taste and budget, from traditional wooden bungalows to luxury 5 star spa resorts.
Ao Nang itself has two idyllic, unspoilt beaches, which are lapped by clear, warm water (28-30 C). Other, pristine beaches are located on a number of outlying islands which can be accessed cheaply and quickly by local longtail boats. Some of the beaches can get busy in high season, but if you take the time to do a little exploring, you can often find a deserted little beach just around the corner.
	Thai food is abundant in Ao Nang and is available 24 hours a day. Visit a traditional Thai restaurant, eat at a local market or try the many offerings from a local street vendor, who are based on every street corner. The smell and taste of the Thai dishes is enhanced by a variety of fresh, local ingredients, just don't forget to ask for non-spicy (mai pet) if you have a delicate, Western palette. For those people who need a break from Thai food, a whole host of Western options are available; these include traditional English food, Indian Food, Scandinavian food, steaks, pizza and pasta (there are 6 Italian restaurants) and much more.
Ao Nang offers a wide range of activities and attractions, including : spa/massage/beauty, shopping, white water rafting, horse-riding, hiking, kayaking, snorkelling, temple visits, fishing park, elephant trekking, cooking classes, massage classes, market exploration, pavilion fishing.

Ao Nang Kayaking

The fabulous Northern Krabi coast kayak sites are all accessible from Ao Nang. Get there by paddle power or by us loading the kayaks onto a long-tail. Until quite recently, the coastline near Ao Nang was one of the best kept secrets in the kingdom. While the western reaches of Phang Nga bay, the film location for the James Bond thriller "The man with the golden Gun" has for years been very well-known, the eastern and equally spectacular portion of the bay rarely saw a single soul. There are now three new hot spots on the paddling circuit, all easily accessible from Ao Nang; Koh Garos, Ao Thalane and the mangrove forests and caves of Bor Thor.
