To the North of the sandy spit is an enticing bay which is particularly good for snorkelling and diving. Ko Hong is so named because of its large internal lagoon, accessible only by dinghy across s shallow reef on tides above one metre.

Ao Nang is important because of its access to the main road to Krabi, thought it is the beauty of the beaches on the peninsula immediately south that have made Krabi world famous. Comfortable and secure anchorage in wide shallow bay can be found in about 5 metres mooring well offshore. 2. Mooring at “Railay Beach” It is better to take one of the several moorings laid in the centre of the bay. This bay has spectacular stacks rocks which form headlands to the North and the South. Restaurants and bungalows in the shade of coconut palms which fringe the beach tend to be frequented by budget travellers. Extending out into the bay at the Southern end of the beach is a reef, easily seen in the clear waters, and magnet for snorkelling.

  • Southern Andaman Coast
    © Lonely Planet Publications SOUTHERN ANDAMAN COAST 325 Southern Andaman Coast Island hoppers, this is your dreamland. The south is the quieter half of the Andaman coast; even the tourist star of Ko Phi-Phi can’t rival the glam and crowds of Phuket. Instead, this region is the ideal choice for serious relaxation, outdoor fun and chummy nights at beachside bars. Just slowly putter from white-sand isle to white-sand isle. Social seekers will love the developed beauties such as Ko Phi-Phi and Ko Lanta where you can party into the wee hours and meet plenty of people on the beach, yet still find a peaceful strip of sand. And roads less travelled are just next door: head down through the lightly developed Trang islands to the even less visited Satun Province to find powder-white romantic beaches, outrageous snorkelling and plenty of spicy southern Thai culture. The entire region is made up of a spectacular undulating coastline pierced by sheer limestone formations, speckled with islands and cloaked in a carpet of verdant greenery. Besides the phenomenal diving and snorkelling, some of the best rock climbing in the world can be found in Krabi and Trang Provinces. All that limestone also means there are plenty of caves to explore; some house shrines while others require that you shimmy on your stomach to get through. You can also kayak to islands or through coastal mangroves. Much of this region shuts down in the April to November low season but even at that time you can still get to most places with determined effort.
