About Krabi and Ao Nang
Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Ao Nang sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.
Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.
When planning island tours from Krabi, arrive at the pier early, bring sun protection, and keep cash for national park fees. Tour availability depends on tide and wind — confirm with the operator the evening before departure.

I was on Ao Nang only for few days and my wife has planned almost every minute of our trip, so my only regret is that i had only once chance to visit this wonderful place. It's nothing like big, commercial gyms, where coaches don't pay attention to your technique. It's small, cameral gym with laser focus on students' needs. Both Krus were really patient with sleepy, jet lagged me. Coaches are perceptive and analytical when it comes to technical details, so if you have any previous experience with striking, they will help you to adapt your style for muay thai and if you don't have any experience at all, don't worry, they will help you out (they almost taught me spinning elbows and i'm slow learner).
Important thing is the fact you don't need to carry any gear, you will get handwraps and boxing gloves in training's price.
Had such a great time with Kru Lek! Learned so much from my first class with him. He corrected everything which gave me more explosive strikes. If you want a traditional Muay Thai experience, I highly recommend this gym! Til next time, Kru Lek!
31/07/2025 14:46SO glad we came to Kru Lek. We were all beginners and he took his time to help us get so strong within just 1 week. It’s a small gym but it’s perfect if you want 1-1 attention and a coach who actually cares! He was super friendly, and he’s so good at what he does. He was really flexible with us as we went for a week and was fine with us changing times. Highly recommend if you’re looking for Muay Thai training whether you’re beginner or advanced. Thank you and we hope to be back again soon!
30/04/2025 18:46Had 2 sessions with Krulek and had a lot of fun. It’s only my 4th time doing Muay Thai but he can bring you up to speed. He goes straight to business and does a lot of pad work with you. He’s legit. I’ve seen his trophies and he’s a hardworking man. At 43 years old and he’s still moving quick. Wish I stayed longer to train but had a great time learning Muay Thai from Krulek. Come and train with Krulek, he does it all by myself. It’s worth your time and money!
12/06/2024 19:20I had such a wonderful time training with Kru Lek. It’s very authentic and he helped me on many techniques. One of the best coaches I’ve ever had. If you’re in Ao Nang and want to learn Muay Thai, enhance your skills or even just to have a good workout: then Kru Lek is your man!
