The beautiful island group of Poda Island, Chicken Island, Tub Island and Mor Island forms part of the gorgeous view from Aonang Beach. It is also one of the spots while you're on a 4-Island tour that leaves in the morning or 7-Island Sunset tour that leaves in the afternoon.

A short nature trial of wooden planks that goes over the limestone cliff leading to the secluded "private beach" of Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas from the rest of Ao Nang. It may be a "private beach" but it's also open to the public. Lots of monkeys at certain parts of the day, hence the name.

Also known as Naga Peak, this spot is slowly gaining popularity for its over hanging rock over-looking the stunning coastline of Krabi Province. This is a serious hike that takes about 2 hours uphill. Visitors must register at the ranger post at the start of the trail for safety. To get here, you'll need your own transportation or hire a driver from Ao Nang.

Food Scene

One of the best Thai food restaurants here in Ao Nang and a local favorite for several years now. Lost much of its charm after renovation when you are seated in little bamboo huts around the open kitchen with an atmosphere filled with the aroma of Thai food in the air. Now it is a counter at the front and tables on the upper level. Still unpretentious, inexpensive and tasty though.

Delicious sweet/savory crepes and gourmet coffee. A nice little spot for breakfast and brunch. Afternoons can be a little uncomfortable and hot though. They also sell day-trips and provide scooter rentals. In the evening after 5PM, the space in front is occupied by a hawker stall serving good BBQ Pork and Wanton noodles. (Sadly, they have closed down from Nov 2016.)

The place in Ao Nang to dine with a view of the bay. Free shuttle service provided with table reservation. Nice atmosphere at the lounge area after dark. Prices on the high side but worth it for the sunset view and atmosphere.

A good value Thai restaurant very near the guesthouse. Love the Prawns in Tamarind Sauce and the Massaman Curry is a must try of course. Consistently a TOP 20 restaurant in Ao Nang for many years now.

A cool and chill spot especially for breakfast/brunch. Good atmosphere with music playing in the background. Air-conditioning available when it gets hot from noon. Prices are slightly on the high side but you don't really get a nicer option other than the Starbucks nearby.

A little off the beaten track and you'll definitely need transport to get here with it being on the outskirts of Ao Nang. However, if freshly baked bread and pastries is your kind of thing then it may be worth the effort after all.

One of only a few Thai restaurants in Ao Nang with good decor and dining ambiance. Price is on the higher side but food is decent with accompanying live music performances in the evening.

A local Krabi business worth mentioning. Mother Marche have several branches within Krabi and here is the latest addition right next to the guesthouse, fortunately for all of us. You can find almost anything here for your daily essential needs. They even have a bakery and food counter inside. Now, that's quite cool we thought. *May - Oct, 10AM - Midnight only.
