Ao Nang, All-round, Thailand’s Best Beach Destination
The development of Thai beaches, like those the world over, follows a standard cycle. First they get discovered by backpackers, for whom cheap beach-huts are erected. Islands such as Koh Muk and Koh Lao Liang are still at this stage, where the island is as pristine as anyone could wish for, but lacks the facilities which most of us don’t want to do without.
The next stage is when the developers move in and build bars, luxury hotels, restaurants and malls. Many beaches get ruined when over-development and over-population results in an unsupportable excess of pollutants. But somewhere along the way there is an optimal state, where there are enough facilities, but a still ecologically-sustainable tourist population.Ao Nang is now at this stage and represents, for many people, an ideal compromise between a pristine but boring resort and a fun but polluted one. The southern half of the beach is not yet bordered by a road, but the town has a wide enough range of facilities, for example 6 Italian restaurants, to keep most visitors happily occupied for at least a couple of weeks. Ao Nang is busy but hasn’t lost that laid back, friendly small-town feel; it is developed but still retains much of its original beauty and charm.
Ao Nang is, along with Chiang Mai, one of Thailand’s two most exciting adventure sports destinations. The home of two of the best beaches on the planet, Railay, which is also the best tropical climbing destination in the world, is fifteen minutes away by boat. The town’s location on the eastern coast of Phang Nga bay puts it within easy reach of all the fishing, diving and kayaking sites in the bay. A day-trip to Koh Phi Phi is a better way to visit the place than staying there.

Any nice, modern, minimalist, chic hotels in Krabi, Thailand (Ao Nang Beach Area)?
We're going to Asia this September and staying in Krabi (or Ao Nang Beach) for 3 days. Wanted to see what are some nice modern, minimalist, chic or boutique hotels worth looking into. Based on Tripadvisor, the only one I have found so far is the Alis Hotel & Spa.
We're looking for something that is close to all the action. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just good location, clean rooms and safe hotel and of course, one where the AC works. I don't need a fancy pool, or the outstanding customer service, or the awesome super breakfast buffet or the state-of-the-art fitness center, etc.
In saying that, what are your thoughts of this hotel and/or do you recommend any other ones in particular? I'm looking to stay within the $50-$90US/night price range.
Any information is appreciated.
