Phra Nang cave beach, is breathtaking! Depending on your route, you can go to railay beach west and walk through to railay beach east, and on through the caves to Phra Nang, the journey to Phra Nang is absolutely beautiful, you will likely see some wildlife along the way and there is even a slight rock climb (rope assisted) up to a viewpoint, unfortunately I didn't get to the viewpoint, but imagine its unbelievable once you get to the top. There are shops in the little resort style town on the way through where you can grab cold beverages of any sort, and snacks, and enjoy them along your walk. You will suddenly come out of the half caved walkway into pure paradise, several hundred metre tall karst formations with vegetation and birds flying to and from their nests, there is a decent size section if water ropes off for swimmers where there is no boat access for when the 40°C heat becomes too much and your forced to enter the tropical, fish filled waters. This beach I would recommend before all others at least to see once!

On a sunrise Phi Phi Island tour with simba Sea Trips, this was our first stop for a wander, snorkel and light breakfast Truly idealic and a great start to the day. The coral has lost a lot of colou, but the fish & clams make up for that. A great experience.

Phra Nang Beach is the most stunning Beach that I've ever seen, with soft sand, clear shallow water for safe swimming, huge rocks for climbing, two small islands, a coral reef and caves, Phra Nang has all the ingredients of a perfect beach. That's really imaginary. Imagine! There was a Beach with fresh shallow water which was surrounded by tall Cliffs & massive trees that created pleasant shadow on Beach in a hot day. Some reefs and caves and a temple were near the water and the most interesting thing of all, there was a rock formation that formed a roof-like structure over some parts of the water. And a panoramic Landscape at the entire Beach & Some far away rocky islands on the sea were visible. Although it seems almost unbelievable, but this place exists in reality and it's called "Phra Nang Beach". From Ao Nang Beach or Nopparat Thara beach, longtail boats taxis can take you directly to Phra Nang Beach. Journey time is over 10 minutes. Phra Nang Beach & Cave can also be accessed via West Railay. On the edge of Phra Nang Beach, a cave has been dedicated to the princess Phra Nang. According to legend, Phra Nang was the wife of a fisherman who was lost at sea. She lived out the rest of her days in the cave, awaiting her husband’s return. This is also the place where the Thais sacrifice if they wish to have children. A very small temple filled with men's genital organs is one of the most attractive spots in Phra Nang Beach.

Gorgeous clear, clean water, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Small, calm private beach in the heart of the Chicken Island offered breathtaking views. I highly recommend this island over the other ones, we took a long tail boat hopping on the 4 islands!
7. Monkey Trail

We stayed at the lovely Centara private resort and walked the monkey trail to Ao Nang beach daily....as much for the sites as a nice cardio. There are days with no monkeys, so don’t be disappointed! As well, be careful especially if it rains. This is NOT for folks who are not comfortable with fairly steep steps, made of wood with mostly bamboo rails. However, it is a fantastic trail, nice views and short...so go for it! Lovely area, felt totally safe and enjoyed it every time...

Welcome everyone to Aonang Night Market. Tonight we have a special shows for everyone such as mini Thai Boxing Show, Swing Fire Show and we gonna countdown to the New Years 2018 together!!

There are few night markets in Ao Nang (this is most central, other is Landmark Night market and it is bigger and more glamorous). I liked this most, because of food. You can buy a beer in 7/11 or Family mart and bring it with you, you can cut your own vegetables and also bring it with you. But, you can't find more fresh and delishes grilled fish for 100-200 THB in whole Ao Nang. We also liked huge pancakes on the right side and Thai pancakes on the left and in the opposite side - best vegetable spring rolls (3 for 50 THB). So, we ate there few time and sure come here again ang recemond it for other people who are fans of fresh stret food like us.

What a great beach- perfect views, lots of shops, easy to get massages and easy access to all the other beaches. Very simple to hop on a longtail boat. Must try this! We spent most of our time in this area— dinners, beach time and lots of good bars!
