Haven for waterbabies | Snorkelling near "James Bond Island" (Thailand) |
Activities =======
Snorkelling / Diving: Great! Some of the world's most exotic marine life can be found in abundance here. Water is clear as crystal too!
Shopping: Limited variety, cannot compare to Bangkok etc. Most shops open around 1pm and shut at 11pm.
Nightlife: Active, with lots of pubs and clubs. But they seem to close early.
Dining: Authentic Thai food bit difficult to find in Ao Nang other than at streetside pushcarts. Most cafes offer Western or Euro fare.
Spa / Massage: plenty of them around.
Accommodation: Too many to choose from!
People: 80-90% foreigners (mostly Westerners), doesn't seem like Thailand! Many Caucasians settle here to run diving schools.
Scenery: Like paradise around the beach. Strange looking islands offshore. There's even the Chicken Island! |
| Exotic fish (off Thailand) |
|  | Exotic Fishies What kind of marine life? I don't know what they're called but parrotfish, surgeonfish and various tangs can be found even while snorkelling, like the one pictured.
It'd be good to have a waterproof flashlight as there are semi-submerged caves around the islands to explore. |

| Pros: | "Clear waters, abundant exotic marine life." | | Cons: | "Too crowded, extremely "touristy" you can't get good shopping bargains here" | | In A Nutshell: | "I'm still not done with snorkelling, there's too many areas to explore!" |
