Ao Nang Beach, Krabi

The epi-centre of tourist activity/ madness. An assortment of near-identical shops selling Thai-themed tank tops/ T-shirts (Chang beer tank, any one?), counterfeit fashion, restaurants (Thai, Western, Italian, Kebabs, Indian), tours, you get the idea.  There is also a Burger King, McDonald’s and Haagen Dazs. Ao Nang beach is very quiet in the day, presumably because all tourists are out on tours or visiting  nearby islands.  The tourist frenzy starts from 4pm onwards when they return.

This is Deep Desire from Haagen Dazs.  It has cookies and chocolate and vanilla caramel brownie ice cream with fresh banana, hot chocolate fudge and whipped cream.  It costs 270B (add additional 10% for service charge). It was ok.
