Ao Nang attracts the two-week jet-set camp to its showy resorts, which outshine the beaches. Sadly, the beach is null spectacular and the broad ‘European’–style esplanade that tourism-boosters boast nearly is really only 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 make the positioning irrelevant.
Ao Nang serves as the chief jumping-off steer for Railay, only a 20-minute long-tail sit away. For your money, Railay is a heaps nicer post to stay. Ao Nang is appealing, however, if you desire to partake in popular island-hopping tours or sea-kayaking adventures, as nearly companies are based here. Plus, if having booze with meals is paramount, Ao Nang will do a ameliorate 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 store and convey it into restaurants that don’t serve).
