Nopparat Thara Beach, Krabi

Much quieter, longer than Ao Nang beach.  Perhaps prettier too.  There are hotels and restaurants and hotels here too, though in a less tourist-centric atmosphere than Ao Nang Beach.

There are a couple of bars on the beach. Come night, there are ladies in short, tight dresses who shout “Sawasdee Ka” enthusiastically at you.
