Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand

Ao Nang is a beach town in the region of Krabi, in Southern Thailand.

A lot of tourists visit Ao Nang to go diving and go on tours and visit islands on the Longtail boats.

I meet my brother in Ao Nang and we relaxed and ate lots and lots of yummy Thai food.

Longtail boats anchored off the beach.
