Ao Nang attracts the two-week jet-set coterie to its showy resorts, which outshine the beaches. Sadly, the beach is nothing spectacular and the broad ‘European’–style esplanade that tourism-boosters boast virtually is actually 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 decent to build the placement irrelevant.
Ao Nang serves equally the chief jumping-off steer for Railay, solely a 20-minute long-tail sit away. For your money, Railay is a heaps nicer office to stay. Ao Nang is appealing, however, if you desire to partake in popular island-hopping tours or sea-kayaking adventures, equally virtually companies are based here. Plus, if having booze with meals is paramount, Ao Nang will do a improve 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 convey it into restaurants that don’t serve).
