You can also find the nightlife in Ao Nang in two areas “The Soi” and “Center Point” which are filled with plenty of Pubs, restaurants, and shops.

Getting around the town is easy, there are a lot of tuk-tuks and motorbikes. The tuk-tuk driver can take you on a trip around the town, or you can rent a motorbike to explore the town and the sites around it. Songthaews “the local buses” also run across Ao Nang and some run all the way to Krabi town.
