Attraction

Ao Thalane is not exactly a beach but a picturesque bay with mangrove stands, and people mainly come here to kayak. From Ao Nang you can book half-day trips to Ao Thalane for around 1000 baht per person; that price includes round-trip transport, a kayak and guide services. If you go on your own, it's best to travel in a group of two or three. A three-person kayak without a guide costs 700 baht for three hours — enough time to explore the bay properly. The route can be easily followed on maps in Organic Maps. You can rent a waterproof dry bag for your belongings on site. Renting a double kayak with a guide costs 600 baht. The guide will point out small wildlife that is much harder to spot on your own.
