We only stayed 2 nights at Ao Nang, as none of us where particularly impressed with the town. It's all quite developed, and has a major road between the bars/restaurants/touristy shops and the beach itself.
So for the full day we had there we got a local boat out to Raileh beach, a far more peaceful area that has no road access. It's still quite developed though and the main beach there was very busy, so we strolled across the narrow stretch of land to a more remote beach with beautiful limestone rock formations famous for rock climbing. After relaxing on the beach and swimming a few times in the warm seas it was back to Ao Nang on the last 6pm boat.
That night after dinner we strolled the few kilometres to Lucky Bar (we didn't realise how far a walk it would be), and had a couple of beers in the cool bar there watching a not-so-good local rock band play covers. We all took a tuk-tuk back in Ao Nang where myself and Mullins played some pool and Connect-4 with some of the 'locals'.
The plan the following day was to make our way to Koh Phi Phi, a famously beautiful island only 1.5 hours away by ferry, and so the next morning we all made our way to the end of the road and boarded the very comfortable air-conditioned ferry.
