nicholasmerwood Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 It was Chiang Mai, then Phuket, then Krabi...and now Ao Nang. I'm looking for a place that has beautiful beaches, fewer tourists (than Phukets main areas), cheap rentals (less than 10,000THB/month for a decent place), and moderate nightlife (pubs and a couple of small clubs). Gotta find a place in Thailand to stay for 5 months, from October 08 till March 09....wanna relax a lot but not get bored while doing it. My idea was Nai Harn/Rawai/Kata Noi in Phuket...but all are too expensive.. Is Ao Nang the perfect place for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Ao Nang the perfect place for me? you can certainly find somewhere for under 10k/month, just depends what you call decent - Leela Valley and Chollada Gardens have large rooms with tv, air con,maybe small kitchen and bathroom for under 10k and they are within walking distance of the centre of Ao Nang. Moderate would be the best way to describe the nightlife - Luna Bar and Ibark are about the limit of clubs, couple of irish bars and a few others but it definitely aint Patong!

geoffphuket Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 How about Ao Sane, just around the corner from Nai Harn. There's budget bungalows for rent there for less than 10,000 Bt/month - right on the beach too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkerbelle84 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ao Nang is pretty pricey for some reason! (i am an expat local) it is very touristy in the centre in high season but is very quiet in low season, almost a ghost town x hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be exactly what you are looking for. Lots of beautiful beaches, definitely less tourists then Patong, and yes there is moderate nightlife.......we have pubs, and I'm not sure what you mean by "small clubs", but there are drinking places anyway. As far as accomodation is concerned, since you are staying 5 months it might be worth considering renting an unfurnished house, and buying some basic furniture yourself, that you might be able to sell when you leave. Would work out a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel or bungalow resort for 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
