KRABI Province Sun&Fun ☀️
From and to the Airport
As always, there are many options, depending on the budget and the type of trip you have in mind. Personally, I always choose solutions that are a mix of comfort and savings, so...here you are my choice:
Mini van for 150 THB, drop off at the hotel.
As soon as you exit the airport, you'll definitely find someone approaching you and offering this service. Easy peasy."
Stay
Below, you'll find the 3 hotels where I stayed, they're pretty much in the same area.
I've loved them for position, cleaness and affordable prices.

Beaches
A paradise for rock climbers and nature enthusiasts, just a 10-minute boat ride away from Ao Nang.
Ticket info
These two beaches are the closest to Ao Nang. They are accessible by long-tail boat, the typical Thai boats.
The ticket is the same for the two beaches, the only drop off is in Railay beach, once there Phra Nang beach is accessible by 15 min easy walking on the othere side.
WHERE
Buy round trip tickets* for 200 THB at Ao Nang Boat Co-operative Service, use the link below to find where located
*If you have plans to stay at Railay Beach, you can also purchase a one-way ticket for half of the price as this is the only way to reach the location.
There are other places to buy tickets, but this office is right at the departure pier for the boats.
TIMETABLE
The departure and return times of the boats range from 8am to 6pm.
TIPS
If you have the desire not to leave at the most beautiful moment and want to enjoy a stunning sunset at Phra Nang Beach, I recommend that as soon as you arrive or at the ticket office as well , inquire about taking a boat back later, for an additional fee.
I recommend bringing food and drinks with you if you decide to spend the day at Phra Nang, as it's a bit more secluded from the main road with restaurants and mini-markets.
In the final stretch of the journey from Railay Beach to Phra Nang, you'll pass by the caves, always crowded with many monkeys!"
ISLAND TOUR
This is the perfect way to explore the area!
The Ao Nang coast is very convenient for easily reaching all the splendid nearby islands.
Ticket info
I purchased the tour tickets through the hotels where I stayed. They often offer discounts or special treatments reserved for their guests, Krabi Forest Homestay on top of the list!
Nevertheless, while strolling along Ao Nang's main street, you'll definitely notice the numerous ticket and tour offices where you can ask for information and make bookings.
