Land at Krabi (KBV) and take a pre-booked taxi or shared minivan to Glow Ao Nang (approx 30–45 minutes). Note hotel standard check-in is usually 2:00pm; you can request early check-in or drop luggage.
Evening market / street vendors along the beachfront and side streets (typical opening ~5:00pm–10:00pm but vary by night); try grilled seafood, mango sticky rice and local snacks.
Operator picks you up from hotel; typical tours (4 Islands or Phi Phi speedboat) depart 8:30am–9:00am from Ao Nang/Nopparat Thara. Confirm exact pickup time with operator.
Visit highlights such as Chicken Island, Poda Island, Tup/Chicken sandbar and Phra Nang Cave (for 4-Islands); or Phi Phi for snorkeling and Maya Bay alternatives. Most tours include snorkeling stops and a buffet or boxed lunch on the boat around midday.
Enjoy an evening buffet — either a hotel/seafood buffet if available or a seafood restaurant along Ao Nang Beach (many restaurants offer dinner buffets or shared seafood platters around 6:00pm–9:30pm). Ask your hotel for current buffet nights.
Catch a longtail from Ao Nang boat line to Railay West (boats generally run 08:00am–5:00pm depending on tide). Ride is ~10–15 minutes; return trips operate until late afternoon.
Hike the short trail to Railay viewpoint for panoramic views, then visit Diamond Cave (usually open ~8:00am–4:30pm; small entrance fee may apply). Wear shoes and bring water.
Have breakfast; confirm check-out time with reception and arrange luggage storage if your flight is later (you can often store bags until you leave for the airport).
Take a taxi/minivan to Makro Krabi (wholesale supermarket) to buy snacks, bottled drinks and travel supplies. Makro hours vary by store (many open early and some 24h) — check local outlet hours, but morning visits are safe.
Depart Ao Nang for Krabi Airport allowing ~1–1.5 hours travel and check-in time for international flights; recommended to leave around 3:00pm for a 6:00pm flight to Kuala Lumpur (KUL).
