Location & what to see
Ao Nang is a coastal town on the mainland of Krabi province, facing the limestone cliffs and bays of the Andaman Sea. Its beach road is lined with restaurants, tour offices and street-food stalls, and boats leave from the bay for trips to the islands. Surf Hostel Krabi is in Ao Nang itself, with Ao Nang Beach 2.1 km away, so the sea is a short trip off rather than in front of the building.
Railay Beach, 3 km away, is known for its limestone cliffs and is reached by longtail boat rather than by road. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), 13.2 km away, is a hillside temple where visitors climb a long stairway to the shrines, and the Mountain Buddha Temple is 600 m from the hostel. The Hong Islands, 40.5 km away, are reached by boat.
A good first day could combine a morning on the beach at Ao Nang with a longtail boat trip to Railay, and the evenings can be spent at the Ao-Nang Landmark Night Market. For a quieter day, the area around the hostel and the Mountain Buddha Temple is easy to explore on foot. In the rainy season, boat trips to the islands can be disrupted when the sea is rough.
