Krabi's latest beach destination, Muang Klong is aiming upmarket with
5 star and boutique hotels like the Sheraton Krabi Resort, the
Nakamanda and the Tubkaak Resort located here.
Unlike Ao Nang it doesn't have the impressive
cliffs immediately towering over the beach, but it does have powder
white sand that stretches into the distance around 3 kilometres.
Klong Muang is undisturbed - almost available
solely for its exclusive guests and a few fishermen. The beach seems to
go on forever along the coast, with a small island at one end - home to
local seabirds and rockpools full of life. It's the kind of beach, to
just sit and contemplate, especially at sunset. Dozens of tiny islands
lie dotted on the horizon and to the south, at Laem Ham Nak, is a Royal
residence of the Princess.
The local village at the back of the beach is
still in its infancy with a few shops, including the obligatory tailor's
shop and a handful of restaurants. Nightlife is minimal, if you want
loud music, head into Ao Nang.
In Klong Muang, it's excellent food, good
company, and a moonlight stroll along the beach, rather than a vibrant
nightlife that's on the menu, but then Klong Muang is maintaining a low
profile, which is why the five star hotels are located there.
