Klong Muang is a calm, low-rise beach north-west of Ao Nang, known for spacious resorts, sunsets over the islands and a slower pace than the busier town centre.
What Klong Muang is like
The beach is long, with shallow water and views towards the small islands offshore. Most accommodation consists of larger resorts with their own grounds, pools and restaurants, plus a handful of smaller guesthouses along the access road.
There is no real town centre, so many guests spend most of their time in the resort or take a short taxi to Ao Nang for evenings out. It is popular with couples and families who want quiet surroundings.
