Ao Nam Mao Guide

Ao Nam Mao is a beautiful and secluded beach located in Krabi Province, Thailand. It stretches from the Shell Fossil Beach to the southern area of Ao Nang. To reach this destination, visitors can catch a boat from Ao Nang. The beach offers a peaceful escape from the crowds of tourists that flock to Krabi’s more popular beaches during peak season. Inland, there are residential villa developments and shop houses along the main road that connects the region with Ao Nang.

One of the unique experiences that visitors can enjoy at Ao Nam Mao is horseback riding at the water’s edge. A 1- or 2-hour horseback riding experience is available with pickup from local hotels. Riders can choose from well-trained horses that are suitable for both experienced riders and first-timers. The route takes riders across the beach and into the countryside, passing by rural communities and lush farm fields.

Another point of interest at Ao Nam Mao is the Ao Nam Mao Pier. It is a small floating pier that is used exclusively by small boats as the connection point between Railway Beach and the rest of Krabi Province. It is located around 30 minutes drive southwest of Krabi Town.
