Lovely 😍 The beach is great to walk, or sit and relax. It's clean thanks to the Trash Hero volunteers! Quite active with the little tour and fishing boats! Great views 👍

Well the place gets busy by the night and graceful by the morning but always has a vibe there’s always a good view of islands but sometimes due to high tide you have to skip beach days.

Ao Nang Beach is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The water is calm, the sand is clean, and the views make it even more stunning. I loved walking along the beach, especially during sunset — the sky looks magical. The area is also very convenient with lots of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby. Local people are friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. A perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the true beauty of Krabi. Highly recommended!

The town is quite peaceful. The beach is located across the town drive. Clean stretch of beach with beautiful shell and the beach is landmark. Loved the location and the scenic beauty. My personal advise is to stay in a hotel closer to beach and night market. You are always in the heart of all activities.

Lots of tourists and touristy stalls; the beach itself wasn’t very nice. The Monkey Trail was good, though, and the sunset view from the beach was nice. Ideal for a one-hour visit during sunset, but nothing more.

Super clean Beach. Minimal tourist at morning time. The road near the beach offers variety of shopping at reasonable prices. The prices are better than Ao Nang night Market. Best time to visit is before 8 am . Amazing views at the beach.

Ao Nang Beach in Krabi offers an absolutely fantastic experience that makes it a must-visit location. It truly is a beach for all hours, combining stunning daytime relaxation with vibrant evening excitement. ​During the day, the beach is perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the clear waters. The conditions are excellent for swimming, offering a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. ​As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms into something magical. I highly recommend taking a long night walk along the sand, where the air is relaxed and the view is spectacular. The highlight of the evening is definitely the mesmerizing fire show performances that light up the beach—it’s a great way to truly feel the vibrant Thai atmosphere. ​Beyond the beach itself, the proximity to the bustling night market is a major draw. You can easily transition from the beach to enjoying delicious street food and browsing local goods. ​Overall, Ao Nang Beach provides a great, comprehensive experience, and spending time here, day or night, is highly recommended.

✨ Phra Nang Cave Shrine – Where the sea meets the spirit 🌊 Hidden at the edge of Railay Beach in Krabi, this sacred cave tells a story older than time. Locals believe it’s home to Phra Nang, the princess goddess who protects fishermen and grants blessings to those who visit with faith. Colorful offerings, wooden carvings, and the sound of waves create a magical calm inside the limestone cliffs. 🪷 Every corner feels alive with legends and prayers carried by the sea breeze. Here, nature and belief blend into something truly peaceful — a reminder that beauty isn’t just seen, it’s felt. 💫

Kayaked here from railay beach, in about 20mins! Beautiful and secluded, blazed a huge J under some beautifully positioned palm trees etc for some well needed shade. The water was beautiful, clear and warm and definitely worth the kayak trip to this beach! Also possible to explore both the caves at either end of this beach so well worth spending a day here if coming from Ao Nang.

It takes 40 minutes to walk from Railway beach. It is much nicer than Railway beach. Along the way, you get to see some interesting rock formations and there is a rope you can climb (need appropriate footwear, as it is muddy and slippery) but there is a nice viewpoint and a lagoon at the top. Once you arrive at the beach, you can see monkeys and some lizards. People rock climb there too which is interesting to watch

Beautiful beach accessible from Railay East. Caves , rock wall climbing and chilling on Beautiful Phra Nang beach are key attractions. Go early or face massive crowds when securing a spot on the beach. No restrooms Handicap possible. Final take ..RECOMMENDED BUT AGAIN GO EARLY.

Awesome beach. Beautiful fine sand and lovely water. Sheltered in a bay so no big waves really to be concerned about and a great place to either sunbathe or swim. Sunsets are beautiful. Well worth the visit.

Tucked beneath the cliffs of Phra Nang Beach, Krabi, lies one of Thailand’s most mysterious and sacred spots — the Phra Nang Cave Shrine, also known as Princess Cave. Legend says an Indian princess was once shipwrecked here, her spirit now guarding the cave and granting blessings to those who come with faith. Inside, you’ll find hundreds of wooden lingams — offerings symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and safe voyages. The mix of ancient belief, sea breeze, and divine mystery gives this cave an energy you can feel in your bones. 🌊✨ #PhraNangCave #PrincessCave #KrabiThailand #ThaiMythology #SpiritualThailand #FertilityShrine #WondersOfThailand #TravelLegends #KrabiDiaries #ThailandCulture

A quiet beach of your own with few tourists making it a can’t-miss spot in Krabi. This pristine beach stretches afar from famous Pranang Spirit Cave till the end of the beach with high limestone cliffs. Beautiful Soft sand and clear sea water with multicolor green to blue sea will make your day the most relaxing one. Be sure to spend a lot of time lingering leisurely. During low tide you can simply walk to Happy Island just across the shore.

We booked a ferry from Krabi to Railey Beach. There is a little booth near the docks that sell the tickets and tell you the hours that the ferries run. Once a wooden dragon boat is full it heads out. The boat ride was awesome. Open air and smooth. It was one of my favorite parts island hopping during our trip. When we arrived we wondered until we found a hotel that served breakfast. There was a reasonably priced buffet and we ate there. We spent a few hours at the beach, swimming and enjoying the sun. We saw the rain coming and decided to head to bar and grab a drink. Overall it was a great day, and I highly recommend.

We took long tail boat from Ao Nang at 8:30. We were there before 8:00 but if a group came, they had priority. It was a bit chaotic how the boatmen were organizing the boats. After 30 min we could board. It took 15min and cost 100bhat per person. We were 12 on the boat. When coming back there was 1 more couple waiting. Each of us paid 200 baht and we could go immediately back. West Railay beach is nice with stunning views. Inside the “village” it’s already a bit messy. To go there for 1-day trip ok but I wouldn’t stay there for longer. For cat lovers just check the pictures 😻

Really gorgeous beaches, yummy food, wildlife, and almost everything you need. Cool hippie vibes by the west side. I enjoyed the place and was only there for a few hours. Would love to come back and stay on this side of Krabi for a few days.

Beautiful spot. The swim area towards the cliff has a quite rocky bottom and is shallow at low tide. Further towards the boats the bottom has far more sand and is a nicer walk out to swim.

Railay beach is so beautiful. Especially during the sunset days. They have beautiful long tail boats and the scenery looks wonderful. You can get the long tail boats from Ao Nang to Railay Beach at 200 return. Last boat is at 6.30 PM. Get a boat so you will catch the sunset.

Gorgeous beach but recommend carrying beach shoes to avoid getting hit by rocks especially when going for a swim. The water is nice and warm and sandy patches are good on the beach.

The beach is really relaxing with magnificent views. Has lots of stuff to do, do not stay there for 1 day, stay for more. There is so much to do and see. The first priority place that I'll recommend to you if you will go to Krabi. You can only get there by boat. Its a piece of land surrounded by mountains and cliffs. You will need to pay if hotel doesn't provide a free boat to your destination.

Beautiful beach but you should come early in the morning if you want quiet time and swim. To many longtails and tourists makes you not enjoying this beach. 300 bath for tickets and 200 bath for the national park.

Soft white sand beaches, clearest water I've even seen, stunning views and amazing vibe. Would love to go back here again! Definitely go here when in Ao Nang or Krabi!

It was amazing experience, I recently visited with friends. We were travel through speed boat. Would suggest you maintain the cleaness. Please check weather before you travel. Overall experience was good. Beach was clean and enjoyed a lot.

The Poda Island, also known as Koh Poda is a beautiful island in South Thailand. It is found just off the coast of Krabi. It’s the largest of four islets in the Poday Group of Islands. What makes it easy to explore is that its near major holiday spots like Ao Nang, Railay Beach and Klong Muang. So you only need a day or half a day tour for you to cover this holiday destination. This islet is heavenly… from the smooth sandy beaches to the clear turquoise sea water that just invites you to jump in, the reefs which are perfect for snorkeling a magnificent backdrop with rock formations, this is a place worth visiting… It’s dreamy I tell you. If you are looking for a place to unwind, then this is the perfect spot.

We went there in our day trip pachage of 7 island tour from krabi. And ko poda was one of most beautiful beach among them. We saw the sunset from here. Did lunch here by the sea. Water was also very clear.

Another stunning island in Krabi! The water here was crystal clear with that dreamy turquoise shade & the beach felt so peaceful compared to the busier spots. The white sand was silky smooth, perfect for just relaxing by the shore and soaking in the view. Definitely one of my favourites from the island tour!

Ko Poda is a hidden gem in Thailand . crystal clear water, soft white sand, and a peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect escape from the crowds. The view of the limestone cliffs is absolutely breathtaking. A must-visit for anyone exploring Krabi .🏝️

Spacious parking and toilet available at the entrance. Entry costs 50 TBT per person. The temple looks amazing, those colours, symmetries, fascinating. The stairs are tough, 309 meters up in 600 meters, very steep with tall stairs. There is toilet along the way as well. The view from the top is amazing, definitely worth the effort. There is free water waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs, courtesy of the temple.

Keep in mind that the sun goes down by 6:15pm. We got to the bottom at 6:30pm and they had locked it. Even though there were still people up top. It’s not impossible to jump over the side fence, but if you are going to take awhile to get down because of your fitness level, consider that you will have to jump the fence a bit if you’re locked in. Worth the steps. My husband and I did it in 16-17 mins. We are both fit and were still breathing hard. It’s only hard because the steps are steep and some are taller than others. We went on a rainy day too so the heat didn’t ruin it. Beautiful view, very peaceful. Went on a Wednesday in October We saw a lot of water bottles left around at the top and we dumped them and recycled them. There is a bucket for them. Please don’t be those people that bring garbage and leave garbage up there. There were no staff when we were up top.

Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple) Review: Great View After a Hard Climb ​Wat Tham Suea is a temple visit where you must climb a mountain. To get to the top, you walk up 1,260 stairs (309 meters). ​The stairs are not all the same. Some parts are easy, some are medium, and some parts are very hard and steep. It is a real challenge for your legs! ​But when you finish the climb and reach the top, it is truly worth it. You will see a very large, beautiful golden Buddha statue. The view of the green jungle and big rock mountains (KRABI) is amazing. This feeling of seeing the idol and the beautiful scene makes the hard climb worthwhile.

The trek has very steep steps all the way to the top, so I wouldn’t recommend it for elders or young kids. There are over 1200 steps, and completing the climb and returning can be challenging if you’re on a tight schedule of a tour package. However, we managed to finish the round trip in about 1.5 hours. Overall, a rewarding experience but definitely demanding—plan accordingly!

It’s an amazing place located at the top of a mountain. You need to climb over 1,260 steps to reach it . quite tough, but definitely worth it for the experience. You’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Krabi mountains. It’s highly recommended for those who love peace, nature, and spiritual vibes. The temple provides free drinking water. So, carry a bottle with you . you can refill it before and after the climb. It’s a must-visit spot, not far from the Krabi bus terminal.

The views from the top are fantastic! That is, if you can reach the very top of the observation deck with the large Buddha statue. You'll have to climb 1,256 steps. If you're not in good shape, the climb will be very challenging. At times, the steps are very steep, almost vertical, and the height can reach up to 40 cm. But if you can climb all 1,256 steps, the stunning views will be worth it! The descent is also challenging!

Views are amazing at the top, even in wet weather. The stairs are no joke though, so wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Took us about 30 mins to get to the top. The temple at the bottom is quite impressive as well.

These two little islands are connected by a shallow, sandy beach that feels almost magical. The crystal-clear water is absolutely mesmerizing, revealing clean, gleaming sand beneath the sunlight. It’s a picturesque and serene spot, making it a perfect highlight on any island-hopping adventure. A must-visit for beach lovers!

"Tub island" can refer to two different locations: the Tup Island in Krabi, Thailand, known for its sandbar that connects to other islands at low tide, or Bathtub Island in Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario, which has a natural basin that fills with water.

Tub Island is an amazing place! The clear waters and vibrant marine life made for the best snorkeling experience—absolutely unforgettable!

I came here with my friends last week. The beach is beautiful and the water is blue and so clean. It's a good spot to go for a snorkeling as there are plenty of fishes swimming near the beach. One of the must go places when you're at Krabi.

Superb place. You can explore around and spend as much time as you want. Cleanliness and hygiene are properly maintained here. Lunch was served by our Team there. Top notch beach and crystal clear water. Poda Island, Chicken Island and the other islands were mind blowing. Highly recommendable. Must visit.

It is part of the seven island tour from Ao Nang, Krabi. Pristine white sands & emerald like crystal clear water makes this place picturesque. You can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving in the near vicinity. Speedboats usually stop for around 45 minutes in this place. There is a small coffee shop on the island. One of the must visit places in Thailand. It was an amazing experience.

A beautiful island in sea pure white sand and amazing view of blue sky and water

The 360° Viewpoint at Koh Hong offers impressive panoramic views once you reach the top — the surrounding islands, turquoise waters, and dramatic cliffs are a photographer’s dream. That said, the climb is quite steep and involves a lot of stairs — definitely not for everyone, especially in the heat. There’s no shade along the way, and the steps can be slippery if it’s rained, so proper footwear is a must. While the view is rewarding, the effort required might not feel entirely worth it for some, especially when the island below already offers plenty of scenic spots. A decent experience overall, but manage your expectations and come prepared.

A short 15-minute climb takes you to the top, where you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful 360-degree panoramic view — absolutely worth the effort. It’s also home to the only clean beach in the area that’s truly suitable for swimming and playing. A perfect spot for both a light adventure and a relaxing beach day!

Gorgeous views to the Andaman See. The stairs are quite steep but if you climbed already to the Tiger Cave, to reach this viewpoint won’t be difficult.

It's a hard, sweaty climb. You need good functional knees and a lot of sunscreen. Drink water and take it slow. At least the stairs are modern and equal. The view is fantastic! It takes about 20-25 minutes at a moderate pace to reach the top. After you go down, i recommend the nearby beach

Best Place to visit and have photo shoot. Our travel guide was See Sea Andaman Travel and had a great experience with them.

Absolute beautiful spot. A great reward after climbing almost 500 step ladder. Take a deep breath and enjoy a beautiful panoramic

Beautiful view and good way to get some exercise and sweat alot.

Good beach for jogging/exercise. You just need to monitor the tide times as the is no beach at high tide , could do with a regular clean as lots of rubbish/ plastic bottles wash up every day ( not a good look)

The absolute scenic landmark, the limestone cliffs, and the lagoons have stunning beauty—the best beach in Krabi. Noppharat Thara Pier is near the beaches. Ten minus walks from Noppharat Thara beach to reach the iconic sign Hatnoppharat Thara. The beach has eye-soothing views with a place for taking Instagram photos. This is the place that I want to go to Krabi, again.

A long beach in the Krabi area, that is very popular. If swimming or bathing, it is very safe because of the shallowness. This means it can take a lot of walking to get to enough water to swim in. If you just want to do some walking by a beach, 'Hat Noppharat Thara' has some good shaded pathways running its length. It's worth going to the pier at the end where the boats come and go. Very photogenic.

We went to 4 islands on a Long Tail Boat : 1. The first island we went had a cave 2. Ko Poda Island 3. Chicken/Turkey island - don't remember the last island. All of these islands had a mesmerizing views.

Nice view here and a walk or bike ride from Ao Nang hotels. Can also get motorboats to phi phi/4 island toor or also charter a private boat which is the best option. Proces are also clearly stated on the board and its easy to choose from there

Tremendous beach. Long, wide, clean, with paved shaded way to walk by. It is way better than Ao Nang beach.

Clean and quiet beach. Mostly local picnic here. If you prefer less crowded area, here it is.

We stayed here in 2 stints, first time our room was alright. Second time, we were placed in a clearly renovated room. Both had not very soft mattresses and few outlets, but decent furniture and wifi. It was close to a few restaurants and about 10 min walk from the main strip of Railay. Staff was friendly, helpful and there was always coffee packets available. Great for the price, would stay again.

Nice quiet resort on the East side of Railay. No TV, but they do have a slow wifi you can use. The beaches aren't as beautiful as the West, but the serenity and vibe are what intrigue. Off the beaten path of 90% of the tourist too.

We got a last minute room with bunk beds even though we really wanted a normal double room but hey-ho, we had a really nice start with a nice welcome drink. The property was amazing with a nice pool and turtle parks etc. We had a big walk to our room from the reception so that was a stretch as I think ours was literally the last room of the resort haha (so most uphill). Breakfast was top-notch, can’t recommend it enough with quite a few veggie options - they should do more fresh fruit but breakfast was worth paying for.

The location of the hotel is excellent, and the rooms are very nice and well-equipped, even though there is no television. The housekeeping staff and those who provide water are extremely friendly and always greet you with a smile, which made us feel very welcome. However, our experience with the receptionist was very disappointing. We had several requests during our stay, and each time we interacted with her, she was extremely rude and unhelpful. Her attitude towards guests was consistently unfriendly, which really affected our overall impression of the hotel. We also noticed issues during breakfast. On several occasions, there were very few guests, and yet five staff members were standing around, watching the guests but not clearing tables or serving ordered items like scrambled eggs or other breakfast options. The wait for food was very long, which was frustrating and disappointing, especially given how beautiful the hotel and its location are. It’s a shame that such a nice hotel in a great location is let down by poor service at the reception and during breakfast. With better staff training and a more welcoming attitude at the front desk, this hotel could be truly outstanding.

Staff was friendly. Breakfast was decent. We stayed for a week and after day 2 they turned off our air conditioner. Very inhuman, very hot. Not nice. Also woke us up sometimes with drills and hammers, they are renovating right now I think.

2 stars for the unfriendly staff at reception. The room was okay, nothing great, for what you paid you would expect a little bit better (wiry mattress). The lady at the reception never said a thank you, sorry or offered any help in a few situations we had, one night they said next morning we needed to move rooms as our room was booked, only to tell us when we packed everything and we're ready to check out that we could stayed there, we understand, a mistake is a mistake, but at least offer a sorry and a smile. We would have stayed longer in railey if there wasn't for this.

Today I came to Railay it’s in Krabi province. I have only day time from 17:00 to next day 11am. As I arrived at the island 17:00. I booked a room with no AC just fan from Agoda here in Railay Viewpoint Resort. I got check in around 17:20 pm but they asked me before check in if I want to upgrade AC pay 200 Baht more. I refused for it. Because just for a night I didn’t want to spend extra money. I paid deposit 500 and they asked me to follow staff to check in room. I followed. They opened the room I kept my luggage and wanted to rush to the beach which was 10 mins far and sunset time was very close like it was about 18:00. So I just changed and when I am about to step out the staff is back to my room door and asked me that they did mistake of giving me a AC room. I said okay now I am in rush I will comeback after sunset and you can give me the Non AC room but no they started arguing even it was their mistake. I don’t want to waste the valuable few hours I have to experience on the island so I said okay you cut 200 baht from deposit and we will manage the rest when I am back. Still they talking bad about me on my back which was quite audible. When I try to ask the name of staff they don’t even tell the name of her. But she was quite a healthy girl in yellow tshirt started arguing even after is was not my fault. Very bad experience because they not respect or value the guest. I would not recommend you to stay here after my experience with the staff. End of today the person name Bombe got a new room for me. He provided me a bigger room. I appreciate that listen to me and provided an upgrade before listening to me. But still I still want to share the review I experienced from the staff.

Better come around 6pm, the stalls would be ready. Lots of food options. Good vibe while enjoying the meal. 🎬2025.8.17

Quaint little market. Very quiet. The downside, tables are for beer drinking only. Nowhere to sit with food only. Probably the only time I didn't have a beer. 🤷

I really enjoyed visiting Aonang Night Market! There were lots of food stalls with delicious local dishes and snacks. The atmosphere was lively with music and friendly vendors. Great place to experience local culture and try Thai street food. Highly recommended for an evening walk!

This is a huge shopping arcade in Krabi close to the famous beach. This market completely functional in the evening and looks great in night. Has multiple local food, indian restaurants, shopping stores, street shops, desert outlets, massage center and much more. Night life is great here and one can spent 4-5 hours easily and can still visit it the next day. A lot of live shows, fire shows, concerts happen every day. There are clubs in this market where you can enjoy a few drinks with delicious food options.

This is the best bar in Krabi..a friendly bar. Near good food and the stage. Good food at the bar. The staff and owner are very attentive. Alcohol and beer good prices not tourist prices.

It's a big market. There are many shops where you can buy dresses, handmade ornaments, and local foods. There is also amusement activity like rides or shooting. Open music performance is very alive there that was available at night. The price of goods seemed almost the same compared to the other places.

Awesome little market with lots of tasty choices in food also very reasonably priced

Beautiful beach especially at sunset. I’m glad I came here. This beach has silky sand and clear water. You can post up on the beach or chill on the short wall.theres plenty of parking. Lots of locals here with families. Highly recommended

We came to this beach late afternoon and we assisted to a stunning sunset! Easy to access and it has a big parking for cars and scooters. Next to the parking there is a street food, with affordable drinks and food and a stunning view. Beach and water were clean! Not many people! Very recommended! ( Especially for sunset 😉)

It’s a 15 minutes ride from main Ao Nang beasch. Very calm and beautiful beach. Less tourists come here. Scenic beauty is at most here.you will enjoy the beach like private beach.

Quiet, secluded beach, white sands. Only one small bar/restaurant. Ideal to bring your own drinks and picnic. Good parking very close to the beach

Clean, beautiful sand, warm water, and not packed in october. It’s very relaxed atmosphere. Very few restaurants. Water was so nice and warm during the day, bathroom sign says “customers and guests” only but the nice lady let me use it.

Lovely beach with several restaurants to choose from. It is tidal and if you want to swim it is best to go at high tide. Wonderful place to watch the sunset or grab a boat for a trip to Hong Island

Nice beach, not crowded at all. The sand bubbler crabs were amazing and fun to watch, they make interesting patterns in the beach at low tide.

The hotel is close to the beach, promenade and restaurants. My room was spacious and unfortunately without a sea view. But besides perfect. Even umbrellas, house and beach shoes and beach towels are in the room. Several pools are available in the hotel area. The service is very friendly and supportive. The complementary breakfast includes Thai and Continental. And the view is fantastic. A foto from the breakfast restaurant was added.

It’s a great beach hotel. Clean pools, beach front cafe. The best part of the stay was interacting with the staff and practicing my Thai. The rooms are older, use a real key 🔑, but big and a comfortable bed. The shower water pressure was good, the toilet took long to flush, needed a second flush but had to wait for the tank to fill again. I would totally stay here again as it’s also away from the party area, but only a 10-15 minute walk away.

The staff was nice and helpful, but the room cleanliness was very disappointing. When we arrived, the bed sheets were stained, and at one point no floor towel was provided. There was also no hand towel. We noticed some insects in the room, and the hotel was under renovation, with an open pit next to the small pool that felt unsafe. Breakfast was acceptable, but lacked good vegetarian options. We also did laundry there, it came back with a slightly bad smell.

Rooms are quite nice with decent view and comfortable bed with average pool. However, the room was old, smelled of sewage, and noise from street was very loud and lasted until 1:30am every night. Many mosquitos from stale water in hotel as well. We booked a transfer to Koh Samui through the hotel and they would not allow us to change time or offer a partial refund, in light of my partner falling ill from food poisoning, without a doctor’s note (even with a doctor’s note would only allow next day change). The hotel restaurant reviews speak for themselves (1.9 stars at time of writing) so would tread carefully with eating there. Indeed food poisoning related to eating / drinking around there. Would not recommend and would only stay there again as a last resort.

We stayed at Vacation Village Resort, beachfront Aonang, and were quite disappointed. Although the location is right on the beach, a large construction site next door made it noisy and far from relaxing. The room was spacious but tired and badly in need of renovation. There was no satellite or internet TV, only local channels, which felt rather outdated. Breakfast was underwhelming, and the amenities in general could do with improvement. The pool also seemed poorly maintained. Overall, not good value for what is a fairly pricey resort.

Second stay after 2 years. Seems like the rooms have been renovated which is good. Location is at the center of Ao Nang so it's both good and bad. It's only a few steps walk to the beach and to all the shops but at the same time you can hear all the noises from the street which happened until late at night. Breakfast can be improved, not many choices to choose from, so I preferred having breakfast outside though my room included breakfast. Hotel staff were friendly. Overall a decent stay and I will stay here again if I come to Ao Nang because of the location.

The rooms are quite large, lots of space. The staff are very nice. We also booked a private longtail boat tour through the hotel. We didn't go to the pool at all. Just on the beach. The location is really good. A maximum 5-minute walk from the beach and right on the busy street with lots of small stores and restaurants. The hotel has an elevator.

Nice walk to a secluded beach. We started after 1pm in a sunny day and the start of the trail was full of monkeys. Adults, small and babies playing, chasing each other, jumping to the trees or even swimming in a pool of water on the beach. If we didn’t attract them, they didn’t pay attention to us. The trail is not maintained much so be cautious. You go up and then down to the beach. The path wasn’t crowded (beginning of November). On the beach you can have a coconut water. The beach was nice, nice views to the sea but there is a construction site (building) on the beach so it was noisy sometimes. A “must see” :): in the trees you can find white spectacled langurs. The trail is definitely worth visiting. :)

Monkey Trail… or Monkey Gauntlet? 🐒😂 I was super curious to try the Monkey Trail in Ao Nang, but let me warn you—the name is no joke! Right at the entrance, there were tons of monkeys, and if you’re carrying snacks or drinks, they will definitely notice. I saw some of them aggressively trying to snatch food, and honestly, it felt a bit unsafe. The trail itself is a wooden walkway with quite a few steps and is supposed to offer lovely views along the way… But I didn’t get far. 😅 Between the monkeys and the intimidating start, I gave up early and turned back. 💡 Tips if you’re planning to go: Don’t carry food in your hands or open bags. Avoid eye contact and stay calm if they approach. Consider visiting early in the day when it might be less crowded (and less monkey-chaotic). I might try again another time, but for now… this trail wasn’t for me!

Monkeys will jump on you if you stay still. Try to take your stuff and examine you. But not in a aggressive way. Please don't feed them! So they will stay that way. The trail is very steep at some points. Be careful.

The monkeys are playful and there are plenty. We had no issues with them. The trail is medium difficult, there are steep stairs but not too many. The hidden beach would be great but there is a construction right now so it is very noisy. If the tide is low, it is possible to go back in the see but do it at your own risk.

Cool little walk, fun walking the boards, the steps can be steep certainly at the opposite end to Ao Nang beach at the end of the trail down to the beach. Great view on the little beach at the end beneath the mountain cliff face. Didn't see any monkeys though...?!? 👍

We did not feel super safe walking this trail but at least a connection between those two beaches by foot exists. Would not recommend going super late after the sun sets as they did not turn any lights and it gets quite dark. There’s quite a few monkeys but not any that attacked us. It takes about 10 minutes and the way gets quite steep so it is recommended to be in good shape.

⭐⭐⭐ Oh, Monkey Trail in Ao Nang, Krabi—what a wild, wacky, and slightly terrifying adventure. My girlfriend and I were pumped to hike this trail this morning (August 24, 2025), expecting a fun jungle jaunt. Instead, we walked straight into a monkey showdown at the entrance, surrounded by a literal landfill of trash. 😱 Plastic bottles, straws, cups—it looked like a post-apocalyptic monkey picnic gone wrong. We couldn’t wrap our heads around the litter chaos. As we approached the trailhead, we were greeted by a furry flash mob—dozens of monkeys swinging from trees, running on the ground, rummaging through trash, and then eyeballing us like we’d strolled into their turf. Most were chill, with adorable baby monkeys tumbling around, riding on mamas back, and looking like tiny fluffballs of cuteness. But then, out of nowhere, a massive, beady-eyed male monkey—let’s call him King Kong’s cranky caffeinated cousin—locked onto my girlfriend’s Thai tea like it was the Holy Grail. This dude charged her with the intensity of a caffeinated linebacker. 😬 Fearing a scratch or a chomp from this furry fiend, she threw her plastic cup (complete with straw, lid, and carrier) to the ground. King Kong Monkey pounced, slurped that Thai tea like a frat bro at caffeine happy hour, and left the plastic carnage behind. Mystery solved: the monkeys are the masterminds behind this trashpocalypse! 🙈 Here’s a pro tip: don’t bring plastic bottles and snacks or drinks unless you want to donate them to the monkey mob. The trail is short, you will survive without a water bottle for 1 hour. Leave the plastic items at the hotel and help keep this beautiful area clean and trash free. Krabi, please, we’re begging you—clean up this landfill of an entrance. It’s 2025, we’re almost sending astronauts to Mars, but we can’t invent a monkey-proof trash can? Come on, city officials, hire a worker to warn tourists or build some Fort Knox-level garbage bins before the monkeys start their own recycling empire. 🗑️ Once we escaped the monkey gauntlet and hit the trail, things took a turn for the better. The trail itself was clean, monkey-free, and a legit workout. Yes, monkey trail is monkey free because all the monkeys wait for you to enter the trail and steal your plastic wrapped food and drinks - not a single monkey after venturing 40 feet into the trail! But, Those steps—oh, those endless steps—had us huffing and puffing like we were training for the Stairmaster Olympics. Keep moving, must keep moving though, or the mosquitoes will treat you like an all-you-can-eat buffet. 🦟 The hike was fun, sweaty, and rewarding, with jungle vibes that made us feel like Indiana Jones (minus the treasure, sadly). Lots of selfie photo spots, but don’t stop too long or you will be a main course for the mosquito buffet! Overall, the trail itself was a blast, but the trash-strewn, monkey-mobbed entrance was a nightmare. Three stars for the workout and jungle charm, but Krabi, please save this place from becoming a monkey-run dump! We had fun, but we’re still shaking from that Thai tea caffeinated King Kong heist. 😅 🐒 🙈 🐵
