I’ve travelled to Ao Nang twice over the last few years, on both occasions as a stop between travelling between East and Western Thailand. On my first visit to Southeast Asia in 2015, we stopped in Ao Nang halfway through our ten week trip as a way to regroup and relax. When exploring the islands and beach locations along the Western coast of Thailand, it seemed like one of those less packed with tourists and particularly when compared to the likes of Koh Phi Phi and Phuket it was more peaceful, quiet and the perfect place to recharge our batteries before heading out on the latter half of our trip. We stayed at the iCheckInn which is around a fifteen minute walk to the beach, restaurants and clubs the first time around and travelled on to Kuala Kumpur on an overnight but thereafter.

Although it has been built up compared to when I visited last Ao Nang still gave me the same relaxed, less crowded vibe I was looking for after the chaos of the Full Moon Party. The beaches are picturesque, the sunsets are incredible and the nightlife is insanely good. Just as good as I remembered, and I’ll always make a point of going back anytime I’m in Thailand.

Thank you! We’re headed back this summer, so excited!
That is going to be so much fun! Looking forward to another blog about it!
Haven’t been here yet, but I went to Khao Sok National Park 2 weeks ago – I think you would love it. It’s quite remote and not too touristy – especially at Cheow Lan Lake. A minimum 3 days 2 nights trip should be ok π
I love this place & Thailand π
Me too!! I was just there last month, will be adding more photos and a written post to this soon!
When are you coming To Colombia?
