that is also the high season. Many hotels give discounts

Where to eat
The hotels offer good Thai cuisine and many have a seafood
barbecue available. For an inexpensive, simple meal in
AoNang, there is a strip of restaurants opposite the beach
which offer local and regional food. Try Ao Nang Cuisine,
which has the most comprehensive menu, but all restaurants
in this strip are good. The bars next door offer a form of
relaxation atmosphere without resorting to go-go dancers.

What to do
Nothing. Boats are available to take you to a secluded beach
and leave you there until evening. For those wishing more
activity, boats can take you out to the Phi Phi islands
where coral reefs and wrecks offer some of the best
scuba-diving in Thailand. |
