One of the most beautiful, quiet, and clean beaches in Krabi.
Enjoy stunning sunsets, clear water, and amazing views all year round.
If you are looking for a more peaceful beach than the busy Ao Nang area, you are in the right place.
Klong Muang Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Krabi. It is about a 15-minute drive from the town center on a wide and easy road. Here, you will find a quiet and peaceful beach. Even during high season, Klong Muang still feels calm, and the views are beautiful at any time of the day.
Most travelers, especially Israeli travelers, choose to stay in Ao Nang because it is the main tourist area. It is similar to Patong Beach in Phuket or Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui. Ao Nang is the most well-known area in Krabi, and it is a good choice if you want to walk easily from your hotel to restaurants, shops, and bars.
Important note: Compared to other popular places in Thailand, Krabi feels more relaxed, even during high season.
If you do not like parties or loud places and want to relax and disconnect, it is a good idea to stay away from busy tourist areas. If you are okay with taking a tuk-tuk or a car to the beach, night markets, or doing day trips sometimes, we highly recommend staying in the Klong Muang area.
Klong Muang Beach is about a 12-15 minute drive from Ao Nang. It is a wide sandy beach that feels open and peaceful, even in high season. The sea is clear almost all year, but swimming is not always possible because of strong tides, like other beaches in Krabi. You will enjoy limestone cliffs, rock views, beautiful sunsets, and most of all, a quiet atmosphere.
Don’t worry – you will still find everything you need here. There are 7-Eleven stores, supermarkets, good restaurants, and local food places along the road and on the beach. There are just fewer places, which helps keep the area calm.
Klong Muang also offers many different places to stay. Along the beach, you will find beautiful and high-end beachfront resorts that give you a true seaside resort experience. This is something you cannot really find in Ao Nang, as hotels are not allowed to be built directly on the beach there.
These are the hotels we recommend in Klong Muang Beach.
