- BannedDE6,243 contributionsPerhaps the best mainland beach other than Princess CaveOne of Krabi province's hidden gems. Just 20 minutes drive or so from Ao Nang but a different World entirely. Great place to stay in a quiet and clean beach area but stlll have all the restaurants of Ao Nang within easy reach.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten March 27, 2024
- YB1972Geneva, Switzerland29,298 contributionsBeautiful uncrowded beachWe enjoyed 9 days of this beach in November 2023 during our stay at the Dusit Thani Hotel. Cleaned every day, a few hundred meters long, few people so nice and quiet. The water is beautiful, warm, but very tidal. Swimming is more difficult on the west side, opposite the Sofitel. However, many beach restaurants are to be discovered. South side, easier to swim but you have to be careful of coral debris that are numerous.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten July 31, 2024
- Vincent T14 contributionsKlong Muang BeachBeautiful sandy beach that deserves to be better included in the list of the best beaches of AO NANG. the beach is uncrowded because off-center to the west of AO NANG, it is very clean, only two resorts and shaded places along the beach to protect from the sun. Several very affordable beach restaurants.Visited January 2025Travelled as a coupleWritten January 27, 2025

Ban Klong Muang is a great place to stay. It was very quiet and relaxing when we were there. Most hotels are just off the main road, which runs through Klong Muang, very close to the beach. There are great little restaurants everywhere and a 7-11 just down the road for all your essentials. Ao Nang is about 15 minutes away. A taxi is about 450-500 baht and 350-450 for a tuk tuk. Most tours will pick you up and drop you back from your accommodation. There are long boats near the Nakamanda that will take you out to the islands. It's brilliant.

Although not as well known or visited as the beaches at Ao Nang or Nopparathara, Khlong Muang beach is certainly worth taking the time to visit. It's much quieter and ideal for all types of visitors with plenty of opportunities to stretch the legs and breathe in the sea air.
The views from the beach of several of the off shore islands are very picturesque even on a relatively dull day.
There are opportunities to eat and/or drink and what better way to spend time relaxing than by sitting in a beachfront cafe.
Well worth visiting.

The beach is away from the city and not very famous which makes it free from the crowds. It is a clean and beautiful beach and you could have it almost to yourself at times. There are some bars and restaurants on the beach and it is home to luxury resorts like the Sofitel and Dusit Thani. It is best if you are staying at a resort close to the beach since a trip from the city to the beach may not be worth it.

The beach is located in front of Sofitel Krabi, separated by a road. It’s less crowded here compared to Ao Nang Beach. Water sports are available by private operator.
Beach chairs (w/out umbrella) and towels are provided to hotel guests. No lifeguard at both the beach and hotel pools.
Breathtaking sunset, come before 6:30pm if you need a photo, sunset time as of end January 2020.

The bars to the right of Beyond Resort and past The Nakamanda serve the nicest Thai food you can imagine. Don’t be lured by thinking the hotels are any better because they’re not. The beach itself is clean and the sea beautifully warm. Food is very reasonable. One of the best eating bars is the Sunset, good food and very reasonably priced.

while in the morning, the beach is nice, quiet and shady, in the afternoon it gets hot here with little shadow. for some reasons, the Thai government banned umbrellas... so there is no umbrella, even if there are sunbeds. silly, isn't it? for the sunset, the beach gets crowded, as it really is a nice place to look the sunset.

I walked along here every morning for the two weeks we were here. So much to see with all the boats 🚤, rock pools when the tide is out. Overhanging trees giving shade for sun bathers it has everything for a day or longer if you are staying here.

This beach is a beautiful beach. It is peaceful and clean. The best way to appreciate this beach is by using one of the resorts placed beside it. There is little shade otherwise. There are cornered off sections to guide you for swimming as there may be a few long tail boats parked a long side to offer you rides to other beaches and islands. None of which bother you too much and wait for custom. When the tide is low you'll see many rocks but this isn't often. It's a beautiful beach and worth the walk to each end.

We Stayed at the Dusit Thani Hotel at Khlong Muang beach for a week in February and found the whole experience wondefrul. We found the sea lovely to swim in with crystal clear water and we had many wonderful walks along the beach both to the Right and to the Left of the resort. I would definately recommend this location for a vacation it is magical.

If you want to get away from the crowded beach in Ao Nang area, this beach is a great alternative. Not crowded and a lovely beach. Relaxing atmosphere with small restaurants and bars. You will experience local fishermen on beach with the daily catch. If you don’t have your own transportation you can take tuk-tuk from Ao nang Sentrum. Price 6-700 bath round trip. Absolutely worth the price.

How long is Khlong Muang beach? Can you walk for quite a distance in it?
Written August 28, 2018
Hi, I walk on Klong Muang beach most mornings from Sa-ing Restaurant and Bar which is near Koh Kwang (the little island you can see close to shore) and walk south along Klong Muang beach and back again to Sa-ing which is a 4.2km walk but you can walk a bit further both ways if you would like.
Don’t forget to stop at Sa-ing Restaurant and Bar, highly recommend for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just drinks. 🙏🏝

Try Rose Andaman Travel & tour near the Sunset Bar and Mom's Bar. Reasonable prices and were very flexible putting together trips for us. +66 (0) 83 1730849. We visited 4 islands, and the boat's captain waited for as long as we wanted. Unfortunately Google Street View is out of date else you would see the shop front not far from the Beyond Hotel.
Ask one of the local restaurants to prepare a packed lunch for you, grab some drinks and you're good to go.

Добрый день , а в каких кафе дают для детей игрушки? и где на этом пляже рынок с морепродуктами овощами и фруктами? еду с детьми, очень важно
Written January 25, 2018
Здравствуйте
Около отеля (вправо, влево метров на 500) есть несколько ресторанов, разного уровня обслуживания и цен (и отельные, и самостоятельные). Тайцы очень любят детей, поэтому, думаю, в любом из них вам и детям будут рады. Если смотреть на море влево где-то с километр есть торговая площадь, там есть все необходимые магазины, даже типа торговый центр, банкоматы, фрукты, куча разноплановых ресторанов (процентов на 20 дешевле, без потери качества). Проблема в том районе одна - нет тук-туков, только такси. Мы брали автомобиль напрокат.

Is it possible to ride a longtail boat from khlong muang to krabi town and idea of how much for 2 persons thanks.
Written January 21, 2018
Krabi Town is inland so you would not be able to get a boat. Ao Nang the biggest beach resort is along the coast so you could probably get boat. Sorry I don't know the cost but you can negotiate with the boatmen.

Hello could anyone tell me if this is the part of the private beach that belongs to the Krabi Thai village cha-da hotel?
Thank

Hello
All the beaches in this country are pubblic. Beaches belong to the state of Thailand.
In fact' so beach side hotels are not allowed to use facilities reserved in exclusivity for their guests within a certain distance from the shore.
this is under thai law ...

We are staying at the Dusit Thani Resort and finding it impossible to hire a car locally. Does anyone know of any car rental companies near to Klong Muang or Ao Nang at least. Every one seems to be based at Krabi or at the airport. Thanks

Even if based at the airport you can arrange to have a rental car delivered to you

Suivez la route depuis krabi pour vous rendre à klong muang vous pouvez suivre également la route pour vous rendre à tub kay. Ou encore suivre la route pour vous rendre à l'hôtel sofitel. Notre hotel quant à lui s'appelle white sand , la direction est très s aimables, si vous y allez remettez le bonjour de maman Rosette et papa Etienne à nim. Cet hôtel se trouve juste après le sofitel. Si vous cherchée un resto sympa pour la soirée allez donc chez mon ami Kanet restaurant bai tong face à l'hôtel Beyond resort ou encore le sawasdee après le magasin eleven là remettez mon bonjour à one.
