点评:People are flocking here in droves - and there‘s a good reason for it: It‘s the last really nice beach close to Krabi. Ao Nang is a circus. Nopharat and Klong Muang are ok, but no more. Railay is basically just a noisy transit station.
Ao Phra Nang is how you‘d expect all Thai beaches to look, at least if all you know is pictures. Or how you seem to remember all Thai beaches were back in the day.
Unless you made the big mistake of booking an accommodation at Railay, getting to Ao Phra Nang is unpleasant, though. I recommend considering it a one time half day trip. No more, no less.
Make sure you arrive at Railay no later than 9:00 (the earlier the better), so you‘ll be at Ao Phra Nang by 9:30. Leave around noon and get away from Railay asap. Krabi is more expensive than Phuket and Railay more expensive than Krabi. No point in dwelling here.
Don‘t bring your snorkeling gear, there‘s no point. What makes Ao Phra Nang so special is not the fish but the truly stunning visual interplay of the two imposing giant rocks across from each other and the beautifully clear green water in between.
翻译:人们蜂拥而至——原因很简单:这是甲米附近最后一片真正美丽的海滩。奥南人山人海,热闹非凡。诺帕拉海滩和克隆芒海滩还不错,但也仅此而已。莱利海滩基本上就是一个嘈杂的交通枢纽。
如果你只看过照片,那么帕南海滩大概就是你想象中所有泰国海滩的样子。或者说,就像你记忆中所有泰国海滩曾经的样子。
不过,除非你犯了在莱利预订住宿这个大错,否则前往帕南海滩的路程并不愉快。我建议把它当作一次半日游,不多不少。
务必确保在早上9点前到达莱利(越早越好),这样你就能在9点半到达帕南海滩。中午左右离开,尽快离开莱利。甲米比普吉岛贵,莱利又比甲米贵。没必要在这里浪费时间。别带浮潜装备了,没必要。帕南湾的特别之处不在于鱼,而在于两块巍峨巨石遥遥相对,中间是清澈碧绿的海水,两者交相辉映,构成了一幅令人叹为观止的视觉盛宴。
