Today we are exploring Ao Nang and Railay beach in the province of Krabi in southern Thailand. Last time we were here it was beautiful but very quiet, however these days things are much more busy and so let's take a few day tours and explore more of what this area has to offer.

Thank you so much for your video blog Pady. My wife and I, who have unfortunately been dead for a few years, visited Ao nang and many islands several times in the early 2000s. When I see your video blog I get nostalgic and many memories come to me and my heart gets warm and full of lots of Thailand memories. Kind regards from Per in Sweden🙏♥️🇸🇪

[@seamusegan1311]

U got ur memories gold dust

[@ljm.jft9722]

YNWA❤

[@suhribzevolution645]

From Thailand I love Sweden So much.

[@vernavanderlinde3522]

Nice to see the 3 of you having fun together... Michael has a great sense of humor.

[@ThailandThomas]

Hong island next level for sure! Ao Nang and Railay beach, one of my favorite spots in Thailand. So beautiful. Great drone shots. Glad you, miss p and Michael had a good time. Another awesome video Paddy.

[@brothersman524]

Having stayed in Ao Nang in Feb 2018 and Feb 2020 on my 3rd and 4th visit to Thailand, I'll say it is actually my favourite area of Thailand as well as Koh Lipe. Krabi is amazing with lots to see and do. Yes the 4-island tour is amazing but Hong Island Tour is definitely a must do - I would tell anyone who are staying in Krabi/Ao Nang to do this tour. I went through the nature walk in Hong Island and saw a monitor lizard and yes we went to Hong Lagoon, Lao Lading Island and Pak Bia Island. Also bear in mind that Phi Phi Island Tour is more accessible and quicker from Krabi than Phuket as it is in the Krabi Province. Yes also visited the entire Railey Peninsula for the day (West Railey, Tonsai, East Railey and Phra Nang). I had sunset dinner at Phra Nang Beach which was an awesome experience. Also go to Emerald Pool and Hot Spring. And climb 1240 steps to the top of Tiger Cave Temple, which was a challenge

[@travelertrome8449]

Although I'm gutted you are not in Italy with Thys and Lina right now, this vlog is fantastic. I remember watching you walk the empty beach at Railay last year. Seeing how lively it is on this vlog is quite a contrast! Looking forward to Phuket and Patong Beach!

[@mariettathornton5924]

Love Krabi❤️ We were there a few years ago……and this video makes us long to be back! This vlog is one of the best and most epic one! Love the drone footage, not to mention the hotel, the trail to the beach and the boat ride to the islands:) This was awesome and thank-you for sharing 🙏

[@teresabarberot2506]

All these places are beautiful. The food in Thailand looks very delicious and healthy. The way I imagine heaven. I think we had a glimpse of Miss P - so pretty! You guys were too funny at that cave. Don’t think there is an altar for that here in the States lol. Can’t wait to see where you go next. 🤗

[@garygoodrich1]

I was just at Hong island and climbed the stairs to the view point. From up there you could see the beach that you were swimming at down below. As I was looking at it a three to four foot monitor crawled out of the water and sent people rushing away from it (although some grabbed their cameras and video equipment to get more up close shots). The climb was definitely rough but you and Miss P. could have made it. You should have gotten a video of the floating bridge there. It was hilarious watching people try to get from the boats to the beach on that bridge. It was rough seas the day I was there. Great content Paddy. Keep it going.

[@davidcolinburt]

One of my favourite places on planet Earth. Nice flashbacks to the earlier episode. Really enjoy both episodes. Cheers. dcb

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kevinthailand2567]

Like you Paddy last time I went a year ago I had that whole beach to myself. Everything was abandoned and leaf strewn. Nice to see life resurfacing

[@umarshah7179]

Thailand and specially the southern side remains in my heart forever, no matter how many countries i visit, Thailand has the no one spot

[@MarlonThaw-ok4rf]

Thank you paddy me and my family are in Thailand right now and unfortunately they are burning the fields in Chang mai so have 8 days we don’t have a plan… soooooo we are off to Ao Nang and with inspiration from you I’m going to try do some vloging and upload it to KZbin 🤭🫣 I have bad anxiety and have always wanted to try.. Suppose I’m in one of the best places in the world to try

[@seanhubbard9135]

Another great vid Paddy. My wife and I are finally getting to travel to Phuket from the 21st for 2 weeks after 2 long years of Covid delay! If you're doing a final destination celebration somewhere in Phuket, it would be great to say hello and congratulations in person.

[@nadinekabbani2773]

amen to that

[@Geoffreyboucher]

Can’t wait to be in Krabi Christmas and new year cheers Paddy for a beautiful video,,, peace and happiness

[@hypnotechno]

awesome. Gives new meaning to the idea of getting 'wood'

[@EddieAppell]

Awesome video Paddy! My family and I spent a couple weeks in Krabi during xmas and new year's in 2016-17 and absolutely loved it. My son and I went scuba diving for several days, and we all enjoyed many of the activities you mentioned in the video. Definitely a fun and beautiful place to stay if you crave the beach. Thanks - can't wait for the last province!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

♥️💕♥️

[@robandbenci4675]

Fantastic locations. So jealous. Good to finally see miss P. 👍 Rob and Benci Toronto 🇨🇦

[@Melissa-nr3ro]

Stayed at Avani in February and it was such an amazing stay!! Can’t wait to go back to Krabi

[@0odeeee]

We just went on a trip to Railay Beach and Ao Nang (in my videos), in addition we spent five days on the island Koh Ya Noi. I can really recommend that island. Calm, nice beaches and good restaurants. And not too many tourists. It takes less than an hour to get there by boat from Ao Nang.

[@677snoop]

Paddy, another smashing vlog. I realise you put a lot of thought for the back ground music that makes your content ❤ly. Can say you re a beach content specialist 😘

[@deanpapadopoulos3314]

Always good. Thanks for the journey and for helping me get through this unprecedented period in all of our lives. We made it!!!

[@stevierug8733]

Railay looks so much busier than it was when we were there only 2 months ago 💗🇹🇭

[@debischlemmer7878]

Hi Paddy we took your advice and stayed at this Avani Cliff Hotel it’s truly amazing and we returning again next year February and stay same hotel and also few nights railay beach all affordable even if from South Africa with our bad exchange rate if you months in advance. Love your videos

[@polli3292]

You should have got a nice sunset shot from Railey beach. It's the most beautiful sunset for me. I just visited and stayed 3 nights there on June 2022 in Sand Sea Resort. Will go there again for sure maybe the end of the year.

[@murraymarshall5865]

Great video and it’s encouraging to see tourism returning, it’s two years since we were in Ao Nang and Railey, but we will be back in November (after Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Koh Lanta)

[@freelancekate8919]

yay finally things are going back to normal

[@kevinthailand2567]

I forget to tell you to venture into an awesome new Bakery in Ao Nang called Get Baked right off the Ao Nang waterfront but hopefully your subscribers will find there way there. They won't be disappointed

[@blueelephantthailandtours8860]

So beautiful beaches, Ao Nang.

[@Ashleysplanet]

This looks unbelievably good! Wow I need to go!

[@lenalena1683]

this is the best video about Ao Nang ever! thanks a lot!

[@mg_williams]

Great vibes in this video, make me want to visit! :)

[@PaddyDoyle.]

You should!

[@ManyAwesome]

Are you going to pass through Kamala when you’re in Phuket? I’d definitely recommend that you try the Pad Thai in a little restaurant called Pai Kao Haab. It was the best one we had on our holiday and the owner is very sweet! Your videos are great :) Cheers, Manuel

[@helenedinand1419]

Another great video. Happy Eatser!

[@davidlist7507]

cant wait for your excellent videos, Peace

[@Writerdane]

I almost forgotten that i’ve been to the Hong Islands. Glad i got to see this place again.

[@fransmeisterx1247]

Great video! Booked my trip to Ao Nang today, leaving in few weeks.

[@YototheLi]

I've been there 3 days ago and even at the same hotel. Ao Nang was amazing. We did the Sunset Boat tour. Absolutely beautiful.

[@thaireetired75]

Good vlog ..with your gf n friend..at times I bet it was lonely ..it must be ace paddy your reaching your final goal..I've been with you all the way..really looking for the finally at maybelles..💯🇹🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sirgalahad1470]

Awesome video ! If it were up to me Paddy, I would put Miss P on all your video thumbnails 😍

[@ChaseforAdventure]

BEAUTIFUL video!!

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks guys 😁

[@Jazzmaster71]

Michael is such a funny and relaxed cool guy..

[@busguy149]

I have been to Ao Nang and Railay many times and just love the spot 👍👍

[@chookkett]

I was there 3 weeks ago for the second time (first time in 2017)… and I still enjoy these places 😍

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

Ow yeah, remember the Mountain climb and blue lagoon from the preivious trip, that was next level mate 👊 Most Def must do for me next time, already on the bucketlist Ao nang, Railay so thanks for this treat buddy 🙏 Railay sure was the sweat spot Paddy 😊 As always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻

[@michelgroen1982]

Nice one, I went to Tonsai Beach and you could walk over to Railei Beach when it was low tide. Does Tonsai still exists?

[@mikeschultz817]

Oh my God, what happened to magical Railay Beach? I was there in early 1988, even before Alex Garland wrote his most famous book: The B....As Paddy said, only 2 lagoon beaches, and we stayed on the one with all the dickies, and the hollow mountain behind it. I wonder, why Paddy didn't mention it. We went/climbed in twice, and it was amazing. We literally had to move forward like tarzan, ropes, bamboo ladders etc., and everything was crusted with sea salt. And, right in the middle, that wonderful tall tree. Well worth was also going to the other, the 'dead' side of the lagoon - a mangrove swamp. Back then, a rattan bungalow cost THB 28 (yeah, you heard me correctly) a night. It was as basic as could be with only a Futon-like mattress on the floor, with a mosquito net above it. One bare light bulb dangling from the ceiling, and a huge spider in the corner, that only showed up at night. An alfresco 'bathroom' outside, with a water pump, a tub, and a toilet sink without seat. Generated electricity only from 7.00am to 9.00pm, and a huge dish (and I mean HUGE) of fresh prawn for THB 65. It was MARVELOUS!! I took a long tail boat (THB 40 per ride) to Krabi Town every other day to get a shave, and a bottle of Mekong Whiskey. Actually, we only intended to stay for 2 or 3 nights, but were so mesmerized that we stayed for more than 2 weeks, before moving on to Had Yai, and Penang. However, that's another story. When I lived on Koh Lanta, 13 years later, I quite often went to Krabi Town, but never made it to Railay Beach again. I just didn't want to spoil the unique picture of it, I still, to this very day, have in my mind. And, no offense Paddy, compared to back then, it looks like sh....., sorry. Yeah, those were the days, and they won't return.

[@mitchithai4560]

Amazing Paddy.... Love it

[@C2K777]

Ahhh this brings back memories. We stayed on Railay for 5 days during our last trip and spent a day over in Ao Nang. Railay is breathtakingly beautiful especially the 'hidden' beach.

[@hertravels]

It looks amazing 😍 never been to Riley beach ⛱️after watching this vlog it is added to the list of places to visit in Thailand 🇹🇭

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

I can confirm the Avani hotel Paddy recommended is really great. We're staying here at the time I post this. Thier infinity pool has views to die for.

[@pattayadoggrooming]

Incredibly beautiful area...definately one of the must see spots in Thailand...thank's for this picturesque video Paddy...best regards Richard & Oye, from Pattaya Dog Grooming Salon & Channel.

[@davidbonney5035]

Bugger I missed you Paddy your in my town and I'm still stuck in Australia

[@jw1312]

I’m going on Tuesday, hope I haven’t missed the sweet spot !

[@amandanewman1416]

Love this video! If you had to choose would you do 3 nights at Ao Nang or Railay? We are doing 8nt North phuket then 4 nights Phi Phi, then 3 night's at ao nang/railay before we head up to bangkok and chiang mai for 10 night's

[@mohdjoharichannel]

Thank for your info about Ao Nang. Beautiful and amazing place. From Mohd Johari Channel Malaysia.

[@Xylo58]

December 2022… I’ll be there 🌞

[@nadinekabbani2773]

Another great video Paddy! and immense gratitude, you could be Thailand's mascot man, thanks to you: the land and peoples beauty is accessibly seen and felt!

[@dblockkickinit6566]

Paddy, just wanted to say that you are the shit. Thanks for the awesome Thai content bruv

[@PaddyDoyle.]

haha thanks!

[@5MinutesSPACE]

I’m living in Aonang … Enjoyed your vlog brother keep rocking ♥️

[@dueyduey1611]

Quick tip: you can go to Koh Hong from Klong Muang. It's closer to Koh Hong than Ao nang

[@hakansvemark5613]

Hi, i followed you for a while and your videos are amazing. We have been to Ao Nang 2 times. Thanks to you for so many tip, Whats your advice to stay at one place and go by long tail.....is it Ao Nang? Keep going 👍👍

[@molinahandgemacht]

[@PaddyDoyle.]

[@KaleyMcG]

Looking forward to watching this. We are off to Thailand for 3 weeks at Christmas! We fly into Phuket and out of Koh Samui. Should we book flights now (Phuket to Koh Samui) or wait until we are there? Just wondering what the best option might be. Love The Channel BTW

[@PaddyDoyle.]

the earlier the cheaper

[@seamusegan1311]

Opps paddy wow gotta travel a bit more thanks for this video, kok kood is great but wow wanna go there

[@andreaAdventure]

Hello Paddy, just wondering if you could share what camera you used. Thank you!

[@nassimrekouane2733]

Hello, from your experience please where you recommend us to stay Ao nang or railay ?

[@colinduncan-farrell8966]

Amazing paddy, what drone to you use to get the shots over water, as ive heard they can be temperamental due to no solid surface for the sensors on the bottom , we were at ao nang, in 99 and 2000, and im sure our bungalows along the coast from ao nang beach fell victim to the tsunami, ( andaman beach resort), and im sure there is a monument in place too. Love your vids👍

[@hc9x]

Would love tu add hiking & hong island in my next trip to krabi

[@connielinz879]

So glad to see Railay coming back to life, it would have to be my favourite beach in Thailand :)

[@PaddyDoyle.]

yeah it's great to see!

[@514kumiko]

It's not. Not yet. Few weeks ago it was dead.

[@heekyungkim8147]

Was so crowded yesterday I didn’t enjoy it…. Like 50 longtail boats on the shores…

[@pawinachoosak]

After watching I book the hotel before I book a flight lol😊

[@debischlemmer7878]

Hi Paddy loving videos. We actually going to go stay at the Avani Hotel we celebrating our 32 wedding anniversary so it’s going to be amazing. I know the hotel on the hill type thing. How far from hotel to beach front as we also want to hire longtail etc. Regards Debi

[@Paul_G_Eats]

Great video Paddy

[@juanchocirera]

Paddy you look happiest at south. At least 1000’s more than Isaan 😅. I thinking in Chiang Mai that’s awesome, as I also lived there as you did, in my opinion have some melancholy and artist vibes that trap you there but maybe beach gives us more life. Well I don’t known explain myself, I love CM but live in the coast is that we do in Spain…

[@seamusegan1311]

Now this is the real Thailand 🇹🇭

[@clutchviews7253]

Yo paddy keep up the good work

[@FarangWithAChang]

I'm coming in later November 2022 so I'm expecting it to go to shi* by then. While I'm happy for the people of Thailand, I'm a little sad I missed the best times to travel the world as a extrovert.

[@two_wanderedsouls]

Hi my friend can you help me? Is it better to stay at railay beach or at ao nang beach. Can we book the island tours boat tours from railay or its easier at ao nang

[@stephaniepotter1779]

We are staying at Khao Sak national park and they want a pick up location. We will be in Krabi, how do we get from Krabi to Khao Sak to a pick up location?

[@gerainthopkins7576]
