Fire on the Sky in Ao Nang

Close to Krabi airport in Thailand and just a short boat ride to Railay Beach, Ao Nang is a lovely beach town with modern hotels, very good sea food restaurants and a vibrant night market.

We were lucky to enjoy the most beautiful sunsets here and also being spared by the tropical storm Pabuk who created havoc on the east coast of Thailand.

This is the last post from a series of four about our vacation in the Krabi province – starting with Koh Phi Phi Island, followed by the Bamboo Island and Railay Beach, and ending in Ao Nang.
