Ao Nam Mao Beach — Attraction in Krabi Province

More a swamp than a beach. 2 piers for boats, too many boats around. Private boats on the long pier. Public boats on small pier. Not operating at all times. Be aware of last boat, late in aftermoon, by 6.30pm. Buy ticket on the pier, not on agency/company on main road 300m away. They can scam you. It happened on Ao Nam Mao beach agency the promised boat was not there and not even the lady who i talked to by noon. Boat at 100baht no more, a non-speaking english scammer tried to cheat on me, let hours run out and set to arrange me a private boat at 800baht to take me...

This is located on the east side of krabi. It is a proper pier to take longtail or speed boat to land on the east side railay (pronaunced as reh-leh) pier. The charges are 100 bhat PP in shared boat and 300 bhat PP for private boat. Normat timings are 8 AM to 6 PM and with extra charges after 6 PM to 10 PM. There is another way to reach railay west beach from Ao nang by boat but the landing in West beach in water, no pier. Could be trouble if some of you...

There is nothing around but the pier. So if you are going to railay. Dont expect to go, eat or do somethjng whkle waiting for your ferry(a.k.a. longboad)

If there is a beach.. i did not see that. So my review is mostly for the port. In fact i wanted to go to ao nang and take the boar from there but unadvertedly the shuttle from the airport drop us here since they knew we were going to railay. So be sure...
