Aonang อ่าวนาง

Aonang, Krabi Province (4 November, 2005)


Aonang อ่าวนาง (GPS: 8.03126, 98.82197) is a small town and subdistrict of Krabi Province. This is where you will find all the tourist infrastructure, such as hotels, chalets, guesthouses, restaurants, convenient stores, even tailors (there is a proliferation of tailors in all South Thailand resorts, including Ko Samui and Phuket, since the cost of doing a suit is just a fraction of the cost to do one back home in a western country.)

Aonang has reinvented itself from a quiet fishing village to become one of the major tourist destinations of Thailand. What makes Aonang so special, and so different from other beachfronts in mainland South Thailand, is the beach itself. Scattered across the horizon, like a wide screen movie, are islands of different shapes and sizes, limestone islands invited to be explored. Some are uninhabited, while others have sprouted a resort or two, and one, Phi Phi archipelago, has develped into major tourist destinations in its own right, eclipsing Aonang.

Boats are available from Aonang Beach and Noppharat Thara Beach to explore the outlying islands. Some are little more than outcrops in the sea, like Ko Tap and Ko Mor, and each has its own beauty to be appreciated.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
