Photo of the Week – Ao Nang, Thailand

Paddle Through – Ao Nang, Thailand

While traveling with Expedia to Thailand solo in Ao Nang, I decided to take a kayak trip and was treated to an adventure of caves and monkeys…and a few bats.  I loved the small town of Ao Nang, a little beachy tourist community that I would have loved to spend a few extra days or weeks in.

    Where exactly is Ao Nang? Is it near Phuket? I’ll be planning my Thailand leg of my trip in about a month or so and would love any input you may have! Your picture has me tempted to kayak for sure :)

      Hey Laura, Ao Nang was my jumping off point for Railay Bay and various beaches. Located in the Krabi Provence. I really liked the little town and felt completely comfortable traveling solo there. I had spent some previous days in a bit more seclusion in Railay Bay and found the energy of Ao Nang really nice. I haven’t done many of the beaches in Thailand – but have done Bangkok, and north of course…ask any questions you have!

    Beautiful photo captures the stillness and sanctity of such a naturally beautiful place. Fine image.

  3. that’s a lovely photo – makes me feel the heat & the coolness of the cave at the same time

      Heather – thanks! I had never thought about the temperature – but it’s totally true – the caves were all dark, damp, and cool – then you’d burst out into the hot, humid sun!

  4. Love this pic, reminds me of my own adventures!
