Ao Nang Move Information
Ao Nang attracts the two-week jet-set coterie to its showy resorts, which outshine the beaches. Sadly, the beach is zippo spectacular and the broad ‘European’–style esplanade that tourism-boosters boast about is really simply one large mall with souvenir shops, tailors and restaurants. Still, there are some spiffy midrange and top-end resorts with lovely garden pools, appealing adequate to make the placement irrelevant.
Ao Nang serves equally the master jumping-off manoeuvre for Railay, solely a 20-minute long-tail ride away. For your money, Railay is a heaps nicer billet to stay. Ao Nang is appealing, however, if you want to partake in popular island-hopping tours or sea-kayaking adventures, equally about 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 could buy beer at the local shop and take it into restaurants that don’t serve).
