Ao Nang
Guesthouses, hotels and resorts
Ao Nang beachfront
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.

Somkiet Buri Resort and Spa
Beautiful pool
236 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 321; F: (075) 637 320The Somkeit's grounds are so packed with foliage it looks like it just sprang up from the jungle, and amidst all the greenery is a beautiful infinity pool cum tropical lagoon. Paths winding through ... Read the full review of Somkiet Buri Resort and Spa.

Aonang Villa
Great value mid-range option
113 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 270-4; F: (075) 695 072This large luxurious hotel has a variety of white-washed and spotless rooms spread over its spacious rounds. Located a short walk away from Ao Nang town, the resort is placed on a serene stretch of ... Read the full review of Aonang Villa.

Aonang Princeville Resort
Pick of the litter
164 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 971; F: (075) 637 357This a pleasant and professional hotel -- probably the pick of the litter among mid-range accommodation along the Ao Nang beach road. The superior rooms are glorified guesthouse rooms -- certainly ... Read the full review of Aonang Princeville Resort.

J. Mansion
Gets lots of repeat custom
302 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 695 128-9; F: (075) 695 130This is a popular place that gets a lot of repeat custom. The manager speaks English well and is quite accessible. He told us the place was frequented by Thai movie stars -- in fact, there was one in ... Read the full review of J. Mansion.

Phra Nang Inn
Very popular, close to beach
PO Box 25, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 130; F: (075) 637 134The Phranang Inn has definitely got character. We found the staff to be really easy-going and accessible -- a welcome relief from the 'too bored and too busy' reception we got elsewhere. The decor ... Read the full review of Phra Nang Inn.

Krabi Resort
Great beach location, expensive
232 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 030-5; F: (075) 637 051This sprawling resort, while a little dated, has quite good value mid-range accommodation, particularly the beachside bungalows which are a very good size -- though their glass fronts take away some ... Read the full review of Krabi Resort.

Sea World Guest House
On the budget radar
247/10-11 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 388; F: (075) 695 045Sea World registers on the budget radar with it's cheapies in low season, and it's reasonable high season prices. Also, all the rooms have TVs, if that's on your checklist. That atmosphere is nothing ... Read the full review of Sea World Guest House.
-
P.K. Mansion
A low seson bargain
247/12-15 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 431-2; F: (075) 637 471The 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 ... Read the full review of P.K. Mansion.
-
Ao Nang Sea Front Thai Resort
Mixed rooms
273 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 591-3; F: (075) 637 359This hotel has two wings, The Resort and The Guesthouse. The latter is cheaper and pretty featureless while the former is better designed while slightly more expensive. Neither wing is outstanding ... Read the full review of Ao Nang Sea Front Thai Resort.
-
Golden Beach Resort
Lacklustre
254 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 870-4; F: (075) 637 875This large fading resort is a short walk away from the main strip of bars and restaurants. The pool here has something to offer -- large, near the beach, with elephant-shaped fountains and pool toys ... Read the full review of Golden Beach Resort.
-
Jinda Guest House
Budget option
247/6 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 524;One of the redeeming features of Ao Nang is that the accommodation market hasn't blackballed budget travellers, or exiled them to the outskirts of town. The Jinda is one of a cluster of budget, ... Read the full review of Jinda Guest House.
Away from the beach
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.

Ao Nang Chaba Garden Bungalows
Showing promise
4/1 Moo 2, Off the beach, Ao Nang
T: (086) 746 8673;This new place is at the end of the road at leads to Green View Village. It was just getting underway on our visit. It offers big bungalows with large porches -- unfurnished when we saw them, but ... Read the full review of Ao Nang Chaba Garden Bungalows.

Krabi Thai Village Resort
One of the best luxury spots in town
260 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 710-9; F: (075) 637 720When we last visited we found the staff rude and the rooms outrageously overpriced. But man, oh man, did they get their act together! They've slashed the prices and started offering very sweet deals ... Read the full review of Krabi Thai Village Resort.

Tropical Herbal Spa and Resort
Excellent value for money
20/1 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 940-2; F: (075) 637 867This is a fairly-recent addition to the area, and is part of the new wave of boutique resorts in Thailand. All the accommodation is in the form of villas. Each one is unique and elegantly designed, ... Read the full review of Tropical Herbal Spa and Resort.
-
Ao Nang Bay Resort and Spa
Tasteful and professional
31/3 Moo 2 Ao Nang
T: (075) 695 051; F: (075) 695 050The entrance to this place is actually on Moo 3, just up the hill. From there, the grounds slope down towards the main road, featuring a nice pool and good views. It's owned by the same folks as the ... Read the full review of Ao Nang Bay Resort and Spa.
-
Aonang Paradise
Not a bad non-pool option
25/18 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 650-1; F: (075) 637 652Not to be confused with Paradise -- The Cliff, the Aonang Paradise is laid out in a manner that's somewhat less cramped, but still a bit of a tight squeeze. Thankfully, most of the bungalows are ... Read the full review of Aonang Paradise.

Blue Village
Pleasant setting
105 Moo 3, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 887; F: (075) 637 743We happened to visit this place twice in the course of a few days, and in the interim, a new owner had taken over and fired all the staff! We liked what we saw on our first visit -- it's in a very ... Read the full review of Blue Village.
-
Pakasai Resort
A bit underwhelming
88 Moo3, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 637; F: (075) 637 777This is the first one along on Moo 3 as you go up the hill. As luxury places go, we weren't exactly blown away. It's big, and impressive -- so much so the atmosphere is impersonal, and a little ... Read the full review of Pakasai Resort.
-
Paradise -- The Cliff Ao Nang Resort
Overpriced
85/2 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 638 118; F: (075) 638 116A big sign out front touts this place as one of the top fifty resorts in the world, but someone must have taken a pay off. It's wedged into a small space hear the cliffs, but doesn't provide nearly ... Read the full review of Paradise -- The Cliff Ao Nang Resort.
-
Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa
A pretty good midrange option
244 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 635-6; F: (075) 637-655The Vogue has some gorgeous rooms -- hard wood floors, four-poster beds, jacuzzi bathtubs giving on to the main living space, and great balconies with nice views of the surrounding country-side. ... Read the full review of Vogue Pranang Bay Resort & Spa.

Tipa Resort
Not a bad mid-range option
121/1 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 527-9; F: (075) 637 211The superior and deluxe rooms here are well-furnished and well-designed, in a minimalist style feature crisp clean lines and tile floors -- though the porches are a bit small. The double bungalows ... Read the full review of Tipa Resort.

Ao Nang Friendly Bungalow
Really friendly
Ao Nang
T: (086) 740 2106;If you're gonna give your place a name like Friendly Bungalow, you'd better deliver on the bon amie -- and this place actually does! We found a very amicable group of Thais running it, and left with ... Read the full review of Ao Nang Friendly Bungalow.

Green View Village Resort
Cranky staff
279 Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 481; F: (075) 695 224This garden bungalow outfit has a very large restaurant/reception area, and grounds full of green foliage and ponds like something out of a painting by Matisse. The notoriously cranky staff, however, ... Read the full review of Green View Village Resort.

Emerald Garden Resort
Quite a good deal
90 Moo 3 Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 692; F: (075) 637 691This spot is a long way from the beach, but has well-designed and tastefully decorated rooms -- you may have to book in advance for the one that has bongo drums. There's a pretty pool area, the staff ... Read the full review of Emerald Garden Resort.

Baan Pimphaka Bungalows
Good deal, but not too friendly
115/2 Moo 3, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 562-3; F: (075) 637 698This bungalow outfit is tucked on a hill sloping down from Moo 3. There's a nice restaurant/bar along the road with a good atmosphere -- but we found the staff here really rude. Still, the bungalows ... Read the full review of Baan Pimphaka Bungalows.

Aonang Mountain Paradise
Cozy budget option
26/11, Moo 2, Ao Nang
T: (075) 637 649; F: (075) 638 063This is another bungalow outfit, down a soi off Moo 2, in a quiet location beneath the cliffs. We're positively inclined towards all the bungalow outfits in Ao Nang as a good alternative to the ... Read the full review of Aonang Mountain Paradise.
