Away from the beach
Ao Nang beachfront guesthouses and hotels
This is the heart of Ao Nang, a long strip of restaurants, bars, travel agents, tailors, touts and the occasional hotel or guesthouse. It's pretty busy in the evenings here, at least in the high season with lots of passing traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular. If you are intent on staying in this part of Ao Nang, make the effort to stroll down the beach some distance to experience some semblance of what the area must have been like before all the above was built.

The lobby here is pretty low on atmosphere, and upstairs there's a cavernous, dimly-lit hallway that was sort of creepy, in a way. But we did find some decent rooms with good balconies that have ... P.K. Mansion complete profile

Away from the beach guesthouses and hotels
Both before arriving at Ao Nang beach and after leaving it there are clusters of hotels and guesthouses. Most of these places are within a 15 minute walk of Ao Nang Beach, but some are further away -- up to 30 minutes from the beach. Compensation comes in the form of generally quieter hotels and guesthouses with less of the racket from the bars and traffic that is prevalent on the main beach. The distance doesn't need make these places bad -- if you're eating on the beach a lot you'll probably need the exercise.
