Nice one mate.

Don't mind Ao Nang, family destination void of sex tourists and a very nice beach when the weather is good.

[sunsetter]

^ wasnt bad, not great though, heard there was a small soi where the naughty boys could go, near macdonlads, a friend said so

[terry57]

not very good

In the high season the beach at the very far end near the cliffs is a stunner.Great spot to blow out the day, has a few bars and restaurants.

A large population of monkeys live there as well.

I detest those Thai processed sausages. Vile meat product turds.

It's amazing how the place has exploded since being the boat to Raleigh embarkation point.

Any news on the evil man of Krabi? Have the police done anthing about the couple attacked by matschette wielding members of a motorcyle gang in Ao Nang?

150 baht bus from the airport into ao nang, nice tshirt

She was pretty cheap for 150 but no need to call her a bus fella.

Hope you had a chance to tickle the little pert minx on the left too

I detest those Thai processed sausages. Vile meat product turds.

They're more along the line of the even more disgusting American hotdog, less "sausage"...

Putrid food product.
Fast becoming almost a protein supplement in Thai society.

Embarrassing.

Good post and great pictures!

Thinking about heading down there myself in a few months.

[Dillinger]

Did you do the 3 beach tour Sunny ? And the snorkelling with the Angel Fish ?

[sunsetter]

no tours booked mate, just freestyled it transport wise, got most of our tickets cheaper than booking with the hordes.

If your bringing your wife and kids along its hard to beat for a family destination.

To get the great beach life you need to come in high season. Fantastic Day trips to the Surrounding Islands and if you crack good weather its a blinding day out.

Hire a car and explore the area. Lots to see.
