- Absolutely love Ao Nang & area and wanted to see how things are during this time. Nothing more to add, the video speaks for itself. Would however implore any local Expats or Thais who are able, to please go visit Ao Nang, Railay etc. Take care all and thanks for viewing.
Edit to belatedly add: Many are asking and I should have stated: I'm a Canadian Expat based in Bangkok & domestic travel restrictions have recently been lifted, thus did not fly in from overseas. Sorry, did not mean to mislead.

Welcome to Krabi glad you found it
Hello sir,
In this video you said that don't give your passport as a security for bike.
Than what should we give them as a security for bike.
Max 5000 Baht or less
Wow it’s quite, but what a beautiful place,🇹🇭 I love Thailand, and can’t wait to come back ⁉️🥰🥰
Thanks dear the lovely part in the world
Whole world people wait for this place very nice I miss udon Thai
I'm so jealous 😭!!! I miss my family and Thailand so much.I wish I could fly to Thailand again next year. Hope you guys enjoy your trip.
I went to Ao Nang for the first and only time 4 years ago, loved it, more chilled out than most places in Thailand, hope to go back soon, i recognized most of the places you went, Great video.
I just love the style of these videos. So relaxing with great info.
Krabi and Ao Nang is one of my favorite places in the world and I've been several times. The people are nicer and prices are better than Phuket. Most shops and vendors just want to provide the customers with good value and are not trying to rip you off. A real good spot for a family. I hope the tourists can return soon.
Mate love these vids! I'm learning so much and really appreciate the effort you put into them. Warm Regards from Australia :)
Excellent videos keep on showing those videos coz I'm going to koh sumei then onto koh phangan. Me and my wife. Your videos are giving me a good insight of the islands and the hotels and bungalows. Thank you .
Another great video, great camera work and subtitles is all we need, krabi is one of my favourite destinations, so sad to see it suffering because of this bloody corona virus, can't wait to return to wonderful Thailand.
Thanks for the movie. My wife and I have been to Ao Nang many times. We love Ao Nang and the people there. We are from Sweden and hope soon the corona will disappear so we can travel again. On the days when we are there we usually go out by boat to Phra Nang beach and have lunch we buy from the boats by the beach. In the evenings, there are many wonderful restaurants in Ao Nang. We will be back again.
@Roland Ringhede Thank you (tack;) Hope you both may return to enjoy lovely Ao Nang again & sooner than later.
Oh my gosh I was there in Ao Nang last December and was planning to be there this December as well !! Unfortunately that’s not happening but I was sooo happy to see this through your lens and it brought back so many memories!! Thanks for posting
Thailand is a beautiful place and am missing Thailand. Hope to see more of these videos from you.
We stayed at Ao Nang on February 2020 , it was really good... the weather was so nice... no rain, no wind...
Krabi is special.serene and peacefull....
A realy nice town. I stay there more than 20 times and I miss it. We have to wait now.
Wow another amazing video Thanks 🙏🏽 keep safe and take care 🙏🏽
Best videos of Thailand at the moment.
... and today for your viewers you are giving a lot: we heard your voice several times.
And the gf!!!
@francois vinneuil Thank you Francois. Not anywhere near best but glad some are liking my vids. No GF btw, just a very special friend ;)
Sad to see them struggling so much. I adore Krabi, Ao Nang and Samui. As soon as we’re allowed out of the country again, I’m coming to visit!
Wow very attractive and beautiful place. I wanna go there. Many thanks for uploading
I love Ao Nang, I had many a good times in the Kiss bar RCA aera, hehe - good people!!
and the beach strip with the massage houses is soooo good!!
Yup. Did all these Feb. 2019. Seeing this brings back fond memories. It sure was a lot busier then. All the businesses were open. It's just so much better and less depressing when the weather is nice and it's filled with happy people on vacation. People watching this, go if you can go once Covid clears up.
Thanks for the video, great work, I really enjoyed it :)
An outdoor tub on the balcony is an interesting feature!
The entire Phuket/Trang/Krabi region is so interesting and scenic.
@WadmanP Yep, agree. Ao Nang the most scenic imho but love the whole area. More vids to follow from Railay, Phi Phi & Phuket (time permitting).
Great video mate keep them coming,wishing everyone the best of health and prosperity in these uncertain times.Cheers...
@scott peck Will do Scott. Thanks for the kind sentiment btw, well said. Cheers
I took the ferry from Phuket to Ao Nang. Beautiful ride between some small islands
Great to see Krabi Thailand almost back to normal. Beautiful indeed
@Eternal Summer Rising - Traveling Techies For sure great to see some shops, biz and hotels reopening at least, long ways to go but will get there, again, hopefully sooner than later.
Thanks for sharing. We were there last year and it’s sad to see it so quiet now. Can’t wait to go back there again!
@Rachel Hutton Yes, sad to see it so quiet. Ao Nang is still as beautiful as ever though and the people warm & kind as ever. Hopefully you and others can return & sooner than later. Take care
I live in Ao Nang. Haven't been there in several months due to the crazy virus thing. Nice to see all of my favorite places again. Thanks.
Good narration, miss Thailand so much!!
Hey, what a great video! Went there in the mid-January 2020 and I gotta say I really miss the place! It's so unreal and the ambience is very special. No words could describe my trip. Hopefully this pandemic ends soon and we all can go there one day 👍🏽
Very well said Muhammad, thank you:)
@@SideTripLife You have one new fan here ;)
Nice video! Last time I was in Thailand was March '20. Managed to fly out the day before the lockdown. Last time I was in Krabi was August '16. Looking forward to going back there soon. 😋
Now that's a nice trip. A good experience of the place without the crowd too.
@Alofzico It really was a nice trip but with mixed emotions. Beautiful to visit at this time & hopefully our trip might help in a small way. More sidetrips to come btw, with vids from Railay, Phi Phi & Phuket to follow. Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers
GJ for keeping the focus oof your girl and on the attractions and the location. I like that very much.
Looks like a great vacation. Your videos are excellent. Hope to visit Krabi one day.
Cheers Gord!
Hey first time I've commented on your channel....Great video really enjoyed it, never been to krabi so will try it one day! Sad to see Thailand struggling, been every year since 2004 and never seen Thailand so quiet. Live full time in England, maybe one day I may retire in thailand who knows. Keep up the great content, bri and frei east Yorkshire.
@Brian Lutkin Welcome Brian. It really is sad seeing Thailand struggle but there's some faint hope too. I still have a feeling Thailand may yet reopen at least initially in a limited, monitored way & hopefully sooner than later. Fingers crossed. Still, the resilience of the Thai people is amazing and everywhere we went we were met with kindness. Best to you & Frie in E Yorkshire, hope you may visit again in the not too distant future. Take care.
So sad to see it like that we normally go there once a year unfortunately not this year but we will be back....thanks for the video 😁🇹🇭
miss this hotel , i have been there twice, will go back next year again
that’s a very beautiful place with very very nice thai ppl
Nice video m8,was there 2 weeks ago ery quiet and very sad to see,ao nang such a nice place.
Last time I seen this place it was booming with people and life hope it gos back to how it was and all the people get back on there feet
I'm from Thailand . I like your clip cuz no voice over and chillout. Waiting for next trip Lanta Phangan Koh Tao. 😊 If it possible.
Krabi is beautiful & peaceful destination in world love krabi ❤️
Hi there are most of the bars etc on beach road or on the hill,I see there are a few places around,like walking street and RCA.Your videos are good keep up the good work.
Hope to see more of Krabi.
@Robbo Gsy Center Point bar complex & areas on beach rd (+ Walking St & the lane behind with O'Malley's Irish Pub etc) is usually lively in normal tourist times. Just up the hill a short walk away RCA is popular for its more traditional 'bar beer' style places. Then just up from RCA there's a couple reggae style pubs & a few others + Molly's Tavern, D2 etc across from RCA. So for a small town, a fair amount of bars/pubs etc. Cheers!
i visit ao nang few years ago on songkran festival
one thing make me want to visit it again is the floating restaurant at krabi
new friend here and wish we can stay connected
Great Review! I'm going to krabi this weekend Thank you
@Thepprasit Thongchai You are so lucky, wish I was going back too! This being a long weekend hopefully it gets busy, the locals and biz really need it. Have a great trip:)
Outstanding yet again and very informative and very much look forward to Part 2. 👍😁❤️ What happened to the video you posted 3 days ago called “Good Morning from Kho Phi Phi” ?
@Family Mart That 'vid' I did from Phi Phi was actually just a 'LIVE-stream'. Unfortunately the signal up that hill dropped from 4G to 512 kb after the first 2 mins thus looked like jello for the remainder. This brought nasty comments from some, blaming me, my crap phone, etc, etc. So instead of inviting more abuse, decided to just bin it. Good news is I also made a video which I'll post up soon, time permitting. Thanks for watching this one FM and for your kind comment. Cheers!
SideTripLife Unfortunately some small minded people just love to criticise people through a keyboard as they have no life themselves. I think your videos are outstanding and informative when compared to other You tubers. I just wish you made more, good luck SideTripLife. 😁
Another excellent Video ST...My favorite part of Thailand.
@Ricardo Celli Also absolutely love the entire Krabi area. Will follow up with vids from Railay & Phi Phi soon as well (time permitting). Meanwhile, thanks for watching and for your kind support.
SideTripLife..all the best..can’t wait for part 2..sad to say Aonang looks like a ghost town. Hopefully in the incoming year things pick up.
Beautiful place.Last summer I split 8 nights between Ao Nang and Railay beach.
Thanks for sharing this. My heart breaks for Thailand and the people struggling in the tourist areas. I’m in Australia so who knows when I will be allowed to, but I have saved up the money so that the second I can, I can go back to this country I love and put some money back into the economy.
Aaa
I was there 3 years ago and stayed at the same hotel. I was on the last boat to leave Phi Phi island before the Tsunami hit as I came from Phuket. Pretty cool actually. 300 people were stranded. It was the first place I actually had hot water on a month holiday. The Ao Nang Paradise Resort is a nice place too. Private Bungalo with very helpful staff as I lost my luggage on the ferry as it was in a hurry. Love Ao Nang but didn't like all of the tourists. I"ve never seen rain drops so huge. Sad to see nobody there.
Video quality excellent, Crystal clear, gud
i took the bus to the airport. can not beat the price and I enjoy looking around. I am not a cheap charlie, but doing the local things are the fun part of traveling
Great video- as always - stay safe
Looks nice, thanks for the video.
I miss Thailand so much. My first and last visit was in January 2020 before the world turned upside down. I really hope when this whole ordeal is behind us, I can go back and experience all the things I missed on my previous visit.
Another excellent video, as usual. Very interesting and informative, and one which brings back happy memories of our visit to Ao Nang 3 years ago. Have had vacations in Thailand for 6 out of the last 7 years (including a two-centre trip to Chiang Mai and Samui earlier this year). Love Samui. But it's truly heartbreaking to see what damage is being done to the tourist industry in Thailand. All of those lovely people who go out of their way to serve you and to make you feel welcome - many of them now out of a job and in a queue for food handouts. I fear that until a reliable vaccine is found, all economies will suffer. Let's hope the Thai people's resilience sees them through this pandemic. We'll be back, for sure.
@denzouk Very well stated & heartily agree with your sentiments, thank you.
I enjoyed all your vlogs and content alot! Jingggg
@Ismail Gursoy Thanks kindly:)
Good Vlog, good hotel,I like the Tub on the Balcony, a nice touch, if you have someone to share it with!
Thank you. Great video. You like me give tips. Good on you.
Your trip looked amazing! We’re supposed to go to Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Phi Phi in January 2021. I really hope they let tourists in by then. 🙏
Krabi is very so so i would't go back
I would say it's looking unlikely at the moment 🙁 Thai border government / border control borders the extreme when it comes to these sort of situations.
Enjoyed the vlog nice one thanks.
I always enjoy your vlogs and your generosity, great Canadian! However, feel so bad to see beautiful AoNang in such a poor economic situation. Hopefully borders will open to us and we can come back to beautiful AoNang, Samui, ...
@Farzad Dadgari Thanks kindly FD. Not great btw, just pitching in here & there. As you note, so many Thais are hurting now so glad to help out in my own small way where I can. Also hope those looking in wanting to return can & hopefully sooner than later. Take care all.
A trip in the way back machine.
I'm pleased things have gotten back to normal.
As for the video? I prefer your narration.
It's difficult to catch your sarcasm in print 😁
thanks for your video. waiting for next.
Stl Brill, shame it's not normal but excellent vlog once again which of the 2 hotels would you choose, as I'm loving the avani with hot tub can see me and bridget proper chilling in that lol. Keep the vlogs coming you lucky ****** can't wait for the next one, Paul btw. Bad news today no tourists til Feb March 2021 ???? This is going to ruin a lot of livelihoods, so sad.
@Paul Berry Cheers Paul. Absolutely would recommend Avani, superb staff too. Although another contender emerged in the Dusit D2 next door which I also ended up staying at prior to taking a boat to Phi Phi (vid to follow). Yes, Thais are really hurting, especially in tourist-centric areas such as Ao Nang, Phi Phi, Phuket, Samui, etc, etc. Hopefully the bit of domestic travel uptick helps at least somewhat. But REALLY hope a path can be found to at least phase in limited Intnl visitors in a controlled and measured manner and hopefully sooner than later. Fingers still crossed here.
Fingers are more than crossed for me and Paul lol
Nice one! Looks like you guys/gals are enjoying yourself @ Avani Ao Nang Cliff and the beaches! I was there with friends & families Dec last year, I drove from Hat Yai to Phuket (3 days @ Two Villas Holiday Pool Villa), and to Krabi (3 days @ Andakiri Pool Villa) and it was crowded everywhere back then (the main street, the restaurants, the island hopping tours, the beaches & faraway islands), apparently now it is still very empty from your video and unfortunately the delayed policy on reopening for tourism, the quarantine SOP, and limited access (e.g. only Phuket) etc . isn't helping them.
Glad you are helping the local businesses there one way or another. It is NOT easy everywhere in the World, especially places heavily relying on tourism. Btw, good to also see the storm tail is ending, saw Phuket (from YT) was hit by a few heavy storms and beaches were littered with tonnes of rubbish (some beaches got cleaned up very recently).
I was originally planning to spend a few days in Koh Samui during early Sept (planning to drive from Hatyai to Surat Thani, spend a night at Phun Phin, take ferry, spend ~5 days at Koh Samui (plan to stay at Private Villa Manta Samui Pool Villa & The Sea Resort beach front pool villa and do a few island hopping), then drive back and spend half a day at Nakhon Si Thammarat, but all the plans are now down the drain and unlikely to make it this year anymore (Monsoon season is hitting west coast & the gulf by Oct-Dec). All I can do now is 【WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE ENJOYING THEIR VACATION】, hahahahaha :D
you are so lucky they let you in to look around cold man
I miss travelling I can’t wait to get back to thailand🥺
Me too😭
Fantastic video and very interesting
really nice and soothing video！
Keep up the good videos:)
Greetings from your regional neighbor Vietnam where I have been for nearly 30 years and still loving it. Your video came up as a recommendation and I am glad I gave it a try. Tipping back your 25% discount to the curry servers earned an instant subscription to your channel. I also enjoyed your style of video and explanation as well!!
@loveaodai100 Thank you kindly:) Had a look at your channel covering Vietnam to Bhutan and subbed as well. I also love Vietnam, use a coding team there and have a web project nearing completion, just wish I could visit (but ZALO fills in for now;) Yes, have become a serial tipper throughout this, also no haggling with market vendors during this time. Everyone's hurting so just trying to help in my own small way. Better days ahead, hopefully sooner than later & looking fwd to revisiting Vietnam! Take care
PS: if interested in Vietnam pls check out loveaodai100's channel
also here's my vid from a trip to Saigon: th-cam.com/video/l_hF-QP2hWs/w-d-xo.html
Cheers! Zo! :)
I miss the older Don Muang. It had murals, displays, etc. and upon arrival you felt like you were in Thailand and not a typical steel and white sterile "modern" airport
🙏🏻🇹🇭 Krabi province welcomes foreign tourists I want you to come to Ao Nang, Krabi a lot. Krabi province has a lot of tourist attractions such as diving, kayaking, gun mountain, waterfalls, temples, walking street, elephant trekking.
Excellent Excellent Excellent. All the best. Mitch 🙏
@MisterMitch Thanks kindly MM, take care
Thank you for sharing this video.
@Johannesjohn Lie thank YOU for watching & commenting :)
Love it !!!!
Great video 👍👍👍
Thanks for nice video
Micke from 🇸🇪🇸🇪
@Micke Sweden TACK Micke:)))
@@SideTripLife So you can swedish🤗🌹
@Micke Sweden Mostly just meatballs & schnapps to be honest;) Skal!
Been to krabi a beautiful place.. Stayed at hula hula.. Sad to see the state in this covid era..
This is definitely Bangkok 112 (I'm glad because I liked Bangkok 112 and I'm happy he is still alive)! The style is the same with little differences to try and hide his identity (notice he never talks here because we know what his voice sounds like)!!He has just changed his channel because his old formula was getting de-monitized! Whatever the real truth is, this is a good channel with good content!
@john smith Thanks for the kind comments & for dropping by (even though for the wrong guy;). Just for the record, I do speak sometimes (also in this vid) and I do appear sometimes, as can be seen in this vid: th-cam.com/video/BDILYiAvEO4/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
Awesome, i have just returned from Aonang and recorded a video of the wonderful Nopparat beach + bay. It was unbelievably beautiful, the water is crystal clear and the entire bay is desserted. Chance of a lifetime to visit there before tourists are coming back.🥰
Ao Nang is wonderful. If you have some money to spend l can recommend the Centara Grand Beach Resort 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh, I miss Ao Nang 👌🇹🇭✌️
Fingers crossed for Phuket 'sandbox' opening upcoming and then hopefully other locales such as Krabi, Samui etc can also join in going fwd.
Awesome content, subscribed 👍
@Dean Thanks!
Ao Nang almost feels like a second home to us, been there with my family 6 times! So sad to see it like this!
@bianca wijfjes Love Ao Nang too and was tough to see it like this. But the area & people are as beautiful as ever despite much hardship. Glad we went & hope our visit helped even in a small way. Ao Nang absolutely will bounce back and tourists will return, hopefully sooner than later. Take care
I am from Malaysia.. Our tourist spot also hurting. But, our government encouraging domestic tourism. Last month I am going to Redang Island, Terengganu. The business there is a bit alive and we can help local people and resorts for at least to operate well during this pandemic. The same goes for Langkawi Island, Genting Highlands, Cameroon Highlands, Port Dickson, Malacca etc.. our tourism got impacted but since Malaysian love to travel, we swarming around these spots.. sometimes these places are crowded with Malaysians. It is quite promising but still not enough. Actually this year, I planned to go to Phuket Thailand on previous May 2020, but need to cancel everything due to the pandemic and closed border. Hopefully, next year will be a great year to travel again...
@Elara Fay Thank you for the update. Love Penang & Langkawi! Certainly wish Malaysia well & better days ahead for all.
Interesting ....thank you
Been there last two weeks. Very peaceful because not many people were there and not so crowded at all. But still lots of shop lots still close due pandemic. Plus not much activity can be done since almost all fascinating places was closed due pandemic.
@AmirFS Jaa It is very peaceful but some attractions are still open like Tiger Temple, Emerald Lake, Railay, boat trips to Islands etc, etc. Perhaps we were lucky in that we visited just last week and previously the parks etc were closed.
I love Thailand. So sad i've only been to Bangkok. :(
Nice video. Thanks
Just back from Samui - same thing. They seem to be overlooking farang domestic tourism deals for those of us who never left...
Wow excellent
nice hotel good deal
Thank you very much
I've been to Krabi four times, but haven't actually been to Ao Nang (crazy right!). Wow, I didn't realize how westernize that whole area is nowadays. I usually stay in Railay or Tubkaak area.
Mystery guest❤️ "oh l like that😂"
I went there in feb right before covid explode. Miss thailand now...
Nice to watch thank you, my only criticism is that many of the clips are too short, you need to take longer scenes when filming....at times it was so quick it was almost like shuffling photos
@Melvyn Sinyard Thank you Melvyn for your constructive comments & guilty as charged. Some make an entire video of just a room review, or a beach, or bar, etc. I usually add several of each in plus loads of info etc thus tend to cram way too much in then rush it. Will try slowing up fast transitions a bit though as you correctly point out can be difficult to watch. One other concern is time. If I spaced clips to say double current length, most of my vids would be feature movie length.... Will try to slow down though, good advice, thank you :)
hi i caught a flight from Don Mueang, to Phuket very easy, i have to get to the Krabi and areas looks fantastic ,sadly i think at last another 6 months of this madness 😟🙏👍
@andy stubbs Ao Nang/Krabi/Railay etc absolutely worth a visit next time (and hopefully next time comes sooner than later). Despite all, I have a feeling it will. Take care
