Not far from Ao Nang, there is another area suitable for people who love beautiful nature with a privacy vibe. There is "Klong Muang". Like Ao Nang, Klong Muang is an area full of Krabi accommodations and delicious restaurants, including the famous landmark of Krabi province - Klong Muang Beach - a place to relax, chill, and see the sunset.
