Aproveitando e conhecendo mais um pouco dessa cidade muito gostosa, Ao Nang. Outro dia de otimos restaurantes e muita massagem tailandesa! Formally Ao Phra Nang (“Princess Bay”) although everybody uses the short form, Ao Nang is the most ‘Westernized’ beach in Krabi, originally a backpacker hotspot but now moving slowly upmarket as the airport brings in higher flyers. While not quite as scenic as Rai Leh, there is a good range of cheap accommodation, many good restaurants, easy transport and travel/tour agencies ready to cater to your every whim, making it a good base for exploring Krabi. Orienting yourself in Ao Nang is easy: almost everything is located either along the beach, which runs west-east, or along the Airport Road (Highway 4203) which goes up north from the east end of the beach. Long-tails arrive on the beach near the junction of the two roads. Must See in Ao NAng Fossilized seashell concret. Fossil Shell Beach (Thai Su-san Hoi, literally “Seashell Graveyard”). Some 7 km west of Ao Nang, this mildly traplike tourist attraction has slates of compressed 40 million year old shellfish, which bear not a small resemblance to concrete. There’s also a small grubby museum and a huge slew of gift shops. Entry is a steep 200 baht for foreigners – but only 20 baht for Thais.

Picturesque beach at the western tip of Ao Nang, zoned …

Krabi’s airport has a turbulent history. It first opened back in 1986 a joint venture between the town’s private & public sectors. The air service was operated by an 18 setae aircraft and with such limited capacity was not successful. Clearly Crab needed a much larger airport and work on the new one by the Department of Aviation started in 1993. And was finally opened on 10 July 1999 by The Prime Minister, He Chuan Leukepai. The terminal building is grafted onto the side of a cliff with passengers arriving on the ground floor to re-claim their bags and then having to take an escalator to the first floor to leave the building. Apart from passenger and baggage handling the terminal building has limited services. The restaurant, to be managed by a yet to be announced local company is due to open in the next month. In the event of a delay of more than three hours passengers would be taken to a nearby hotel for a meal. There is no where yet open to buy a drink, a snack, a newspaper or a magazine. Although Thai Airways operate their flight with both business and economy class, there is no dedicated check-in for Royal Executive Class passengers, nor the exclusive lounge for them to wait in. It could be said that the airport …
