| The main road(beach road) goes inland from the songthaw stop. This area has many GHs on both side of the road. The ones closer to the center are filled up fast. No need to get panicked. If you walk for 10 min. Many cheaper and better rooms are available. On the right side of the main road, there are very few good rooms near the beach. All of them are over priced. | ||

AO
NANG about 20 km W from Krabi, is a relaxing tourist resort.
Though the beach isn't quite as impressive as nearby Rai Ley
or Ko Phi Phi's, it has more facilities. Since the accommodation
in Railey is very expensive, it's a good base for visiting Rai
Lay beach and sights in the vicinity.
Better
value, wider choice of budget accommodation than Rai Ley. However
still over priced. Day trips to Rai Ley possible.
