Ao Nang Travel Information Posted on January 27th, 2012
Ao Nang attracts the two-week jet-set coterie to its showy resorts, which outshine the beaches. Sadly, the beach is nil spectacular and the panoptic ‘European’–style esplanade that tourism-boosters boast near is really just one big mall with souvenir shops, tailors and restaurants. Still, there are some spiffy midrange and top-end resorts with lovely garden pools, appealing adequate to build the locating irrelevant.
Ao Nang serves as the chief jumping-off steer for Railay, exclusively a 20-minute long-tail sit away. For your money, Railay is a heaps nicer position to stay. Ao Nang is appealing, however, if you want to partake in popular island-hopping tours or sea-kayaking adventures, as near companies are based here. Plus, if having booze with meals is paramount, Ao Nang will do a better job quenching your thirst: many of Railay’s resorts are Muslim owned and don’t serve alcohol in their restaurants (although you can purchase beer at the local store and bring it into restaurants that don’t serve).
