webfact Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Krabi: Very little going on in Ao Nang - except for some praiseworthy foreigners tidying up! Picture: Manager Online Manager reported from the Ao Nang beach resort in Krabi where some businesses are starting to open up post lockdown. The main problem was there are just virtually no tourists to patronize the businesses that DO open. The main attraction on the beach was the sight of two foreigners with a sack collecting trash. That was about the only thing of note, as praiseworthy as it was.

Popular Post rasmus5150 Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2020 If that trend continues, I would consider going to Krabi. Sounds like a nice quiet beach holiday without screaming Chinese tourists and spoiled Bangkok weekend tourists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenewgoo Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Is it something of a catch 22? Tourists (just domestic at this stage) don't want to go there because not much is open, restaurants and hotels don't want to open because there aren't any tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deli Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Already dead in a normal low season, now definitely a cemetary atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krabi King Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The beaches have never been better actually. Main reason why it is still quiet is that the national parks haven't opened yet. All the nearby islands, including Phi Phi, are within national marine parks. And that's what people come for mostly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaoloR Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I live in Krabi. My hotel is open, the beaches are empty (which is great), restaurants are open. Feels like it did when I moved here 14 years ago. If I didn't need guests at my hotel I would certainly join many others in saying - "long may it stay this way" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
