Ao Nang

Ao Nang is a coastal town in southern Thailand that serves as a popular gateway to the Krabi region’s dive boats. It offers access to nearby reef and limestone-shelf dive sites reached by short boat rides, with several local centers providing beginner to advanced courses, equipment rental, and day trips. While the town itself isn’t a major dive hub, its location along the Andaman Sea means divers often base here for trips to Ao Nang's nearby snorkeling and diving spots, including marine life typical of the Andaman coast and sea conditions that are generally warm and clear, with seasonal variability.
