Klong Muang is a quiet, deserted beach with no infrastructure, some distance from Ao Nang. There is a small village here, but there is not much in it, you will have to go to Ao Nang to a pharmacy or a bank. However, for almost everything else - too.
But there are several expensive beach resorts here, where mainly pensioners and families with children rest. The sea near the beach is shallow and it is very convenient for children to swim in it.

Beach description
The beach consists of two parts - southern and northern, and in the middle there is a small island right next to the coast. In the northwest, the beach ends with a pier. Further north is Tab Kaek Beach. The southern part of the beach is completely deserted.
Entering the water, depth and waves
The sand on the beach is light, with a yellow tint. The entry into the sea on the beach is very smooth, it is very shallow near the coast, you have to walk several tens of meters to the depth. In addition, this beach has a very pronounced low tide, during which the water goes very far into the sea and you can see that there are stones at the bottom, from very small placers to large boulders..
They are found here and there and are not sharp, half buried in the sand, so they are not dangerous when swimming. You can also walk along the coast and look for areas where the entrance to the sea is practically without stones..
In general, the beach is very convenient for swimming for children. The sea water and sand are clean here. Since there are several expensive resorts on the beach, it is well monitored and garbage collected.
Sun beds and shade
Along the beach grow in places palm trees, in places broad-leaved tropical trees, and there is also a strip of tall casuarinas. These trees are similar to conifers and provide shade well during the day. There is no infrastructure on the beach, just a couple of beach cafes with bamboo chairs in the shade of trees.
Since there are no sun loungers with umbrellas for rent, vacationers will have to enjoy the natural shade of the trees. Guests of beach hotels, of course, can sunbathe on hotel loungers with umbrellas, which are usually located a little further from the beach..

Infrastructure
There is no nightlife on the beach, as well as special infrastructure. Just a couple of shops, a couple of cafes on the beach and in the village, a couple of travel agencies and massage parlors. One of the nicest places on the beach is the small beachside café Sunset Bar.
However, resorts in Thailand are developing rapidly, so it is possible that soon the beach will have a standard tourist infrastructure with a full range of entertainment. But then this place will lose its charm of a quiet village beach without people. There are bike rentals and an ATM.
Houses and hotels on the beach
Sea Sun Bungalow. In the village by the beach there are only a few budget guesthouses (they are located in the village and not on the first line from the sea) and several large beach hotels.
Of the expensive resorts on the beach, first of all, you can name Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort in the southern part of the beach, and closer to the pier: Hotel Sofitel and Bliss Resort .
But I would not recommend settling on the right side of the beach. In my opinion, the beach there is worse, and there is a road along the beach, along which cars drive and dust. On the left side of the beach, on the contrary, there is complete silence and tranquility, because it is for them that people come here..
It is very difficult to find monthly rent here, there are few options. There is literally one condominium, we lived in it for several days. The owners are different, so the prices can also be different. In principle, there are simple rooms or houses in the district, but still, there is massive housing only in Aonang..
Hotels in Krabi>
Be sure (and I insist) to check for discounts or special offers on the excellent Roomguru service. He will quickly and easily show you discounts in all existing booking systems. In Asia, for example, there are a lot of offers on Agoda.com, which are much more interesting than for exactly the same hotels on Booking.com.
For the lazy, here are the direct links to the hotels listed above:
- Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort
- Hotel Sofitel

How to find the beach
The beach is located 14 km from Ao Nang and the easiest way to get there is by taxi or tuk-tuk. If you are on transport, then you can do it yourself. Drive along the road along the Ao Nang promenade towards Nopparat Thara beach. Further the road goes along Nopparat Thara beach and turns from the sea inland, to the right.
After a few minutes on this road, there will be a sign to Klong Muang - to the left. Further there are several more signs, at the end, in front of Klong Muang beach, there will be another sign to the right - to Tubkaek beach. But you will be right, in a couple of minutes you will be there. In total, the road from Ao Nang to Klong Muang usually takes a little more than 15 minutes..
