Enjoying Noppharat Thara Beach And Ao Nang Beach

We visited Krabi to celebrate our 20th anniversary and stayed at a nice hotel located right at the beachfront of Noppharat Thara Beach.

It is a quiet stretch of about 2.5km long beach, and adjacent to Ao Nang and was a perfect getaway spot for us.

As it is located right in front of our hotel, I spent the mornings running by the beach before heading to breakfast.

As I mentioned earlier, the whole stretch of Noppharat Thara Beach is about 2.5km. On Day 2, I also ran to Ao Nang which is located about 1.5km from our hotel. 
Ao Nang beach is shorter, about 1km long.
But there's a trail area called the Monkey Trail of about a few hundred metres (the climb on the rickety steps can be a bit steep for some though!) that connects to Pai Plong Beach where the posh Centara Grand Hotel is located.
The trail and beach is part of a National Park, so we had to register ourselves entering and exiting it.
Pai Plong Beach has much softer sand compared to Ao Nang and  Noppharat Thara Beach.

I do like  Noppharat Thara Beach because the firm sand makes running by the beach so much easier. And we virtually had the beach to ourselves so it was really lovely and tranquil.

For my pre-breakfast run, I did around 5-7km each morning. After having breakfast, Hubby and I spent some time strolling by the beach and enjoying the sea breeze.
At the end of the  Noppharat Thara Beach stretch is the  Noppharat Thara pier, located at the mouth of Klong Haeng River.
And where tourist get on board speedboats or longtail boats to do some island hopping.

Kenapa nak naik tuk-tuk kalau boleh berlari je ke pier. Hahaha
