Ao Nang is a great base to explore the nearby islands and whilst the beach at Ao Nang isn’t as spectacular as others close by, the resort has far more to offer than just sea and sand. A wide range of restaurants serves international and local dishes with locally caught seafood a speciality. Sea front shops and stalls ensure that shopping addicts don’t miss out on their fix and there are plenty of places to enjoy a quiet drink and watch the sunset over the Andaman.
