Railay Beach: is perhaps one of the most beautiful coastal locations in the Andaman and consists of karst formed peninsula that is cut off from the mainland by sheer cliffs, reachable only by longtail boat. The headland sits beyond a small peninsula, formed by two crescent beaches, with a few resorts in between. There are several lovely beaches here, but Phra Nang, with its ancient cave and shrine for seafaring luck, attract most the day-trippers. Nooharat Thara Beach: is within walking distance of Ao Nang proper, around the small headland, and consists of a lovely long unspoilt tidal beach that has retained its natural character and is unspoilt by development. It’s good for an early morning jog and some resorts are located along this stretch. At its far end are the ferry pier and a small river estuary. At low tide, you can walk out to a few of the small islands offshore. Krabi Town: is a charming local provincial capital that is largely left alone by rampant tourism and can be a wonderful insight into the genuine urban way of life of Thai people in the region. The town itself is orderly and neat, easily navigable on foot and has colourful markets, a promenade along the estuary, and a small hill near the mouth, with fitness areas. The town itself supports plenty of restaurants aimed at tourists, along with shopping opportunities. Than Bokkharani National Park: is a half hour drive from Ao Nang and presents a delightful, fairy-tale like atmosphere, with its cascading pools and forest scenery among sheer karst cliffs. The Shell Cemetery: is a pre-historic attraction on the coastline between Ao Nang and Krabi Town, consisting of 75,000-year-old fossilised shells that have formed unusually shaped slabs on the beach. | |
