5. Ao Nang
Ao Nang is Krabi’s most popular resort town and easier-to-access mainland beach. It’s always buzzing with excitement–the chatter of divers and snorkelers, the soft crash of the surf over the coastline, the comings and goings of tour boats. Ao Nang town can be easily reached by taxi and offers lots of accommodation options right on the waterfront, such as luxurious Anana Ecological Resort Krabi and Sea Seeker Krabi Resort.
6. Tub Kaek Beach
Just an hour but a world away from Ao Nang, Tu Kaek is one of the quietest beaches you’ll find in Krabi. Over the ocean, dotted distant islands create surreal sunset views. Blue warm water, no noise from boats or water skis, and thousands of tiny crabs scurrying around on the soft golden sand add to the magic.
