Sunset on Ao Nang beach yesterday. Some local fella's were dragging nets through the shallows and a small crowd of kids and women gathered to help them clear them once they were up on the sand. Mostly small fish and crabs and a few jellyfish.

The only downer about Ao Nang is that you can't really swim at this beach - the shallows are full of stinging jellyfish. You have to head over to Rai Leh or Phranang or find a local pool to swim. Regardless, it's a beautiful beach and a beautiful place. My fave place is definitely the massage huts down the end of the beach with their buzz of activity and generosity, and the nearby Last Stand Bar on the beach. Nothing beats sitting by a spectacular tropical beach, listening to cool music and drinking beer or cocktails as the sun goes down.
