Known in English as Lime Bay, Ao Manao is a beautiful beach close to Prachuap Khiri Khan town. With spectacular karst scenery and white sands to rival those in the more famous southern province of Krabi, Ao Manao has much smaller crowds.
You can enjoy the gorgeous crescent-shaped beach in relative peace and quiet; it truly is a little slice of beach heaven. Access is through an army base, adding to the novelty factor, and there are several seafood restaurants and accommodations close to the tree-lined beach.
