In the province of Krabi on the south-western tail of Thailand is the small resort town of Ao Nang. It’s an exotic outpost on the palm-lined shores of the Andaman Sea with a humming social scene centred around the clutch of main street restaurants and bars. The tableau of the coast is dominated by sheer-faced limestone cliffs that are almost entirely cloaked in lush green trees. They are popular with rock climbers who want to test their mettle by scaling the difficult formations of cracks and crevices. The port of Ao Nang can be found at the western end of the pristine Nopparat Thara beach just a short distance from the town centre. It’s a small, undercover pier that stands on wooden stilts over the ocean. Both ferries and small vessels dock here before whisking island-hoppers westwards out of the bay and across the cobalt-blue waters of the sea. Only one ferry service currently operates from the port of Ao Nang. A Phi Phi Cruiser line leaves the beach a number of times throughout the week, taking passengers on the relatively long route to the stunning isle of Phuket on the opposite coast of Thailand.
Situated to the southwest of the Thailand mainland, Koh Kradan Port belongs to an island resting on the cerulean blue Andaman Sea. Boasting postcard-picture white sand beaches, snorkelling opportunities and low-tide sandbars, Koh Kradan is renowned for being one of the most beautiful and exciting islands belonging to Thailand. The styles of beaches vary across the island; some are known for their range of activities such as snorkelling and kayaking, whereas some are secluded beaches perfect for lazy days in the sun. Much like many of the islands laying nearby Thailand, Koh Kradan has maintained its authentic feel and is yet to succumb to many of the modern advances of the 21st Century. There is no airport so the only access to the island is via boat, and the incoming ferry crossings are typically from islands in close proximity. Transport around the island is limited; there is no public transport such as trains or buses, therefore taxis are the easiest way to reach the port. For visitors who reside near the port area, it is regarded as a very pleasant walk, especially during the summer months. Ferry routes can be inconsistent during rainy season, and are known for running less frequently - it is worthwhile checking for live updates to ensure the crossings are still in operation.
