Fire in the Sky in Ao Nang
Close to Krabi airport in Thailand and just a short boat ride from Railay Beach, Ao Nang is a charming beach town with modern hotels, excellent seafood restaurants, and a vibrant night market.
We were lucky to witness some of the most beautiful sunsets here, while also escaping the worst of a tropical storm that brought heavy rain and rough seas to parts of Thailand.
This is the last post in a series of four about our vacation in Krabi Province, beginning with Koh Phi Phi Island, followed by Bamboo Island and Railay Beach, and ending in Ao Nang.
