Hotels in Nopparat Thara

Nopparat Thara is a long, scenic beach stretching for around 5 kilometres, located directly next to Ao Nang on the Krabi mainland. The beach is divided into two distinct sections by a small river, giving the area a slightly more relaxed and spacious feel compared to its lively neighbour.

The section closest to Ao Nang is the most developed, as it runs alongside the main coastal road. This makes it convenient for visitors who want easy access to restaurants, shops, and transport links while staying just outside the busier Ao Nang area. The quieter northern side of Nopparat Thara can be reached either by boat or via a dirt track leading toward Klong Muang, making it ideal for travellers seeking a more peaceful environment.

Accommodation along the recently widened beach road offers a wide and contrasting range of options. At one end of the beach sits an impressive five-star resort designed in the style of a historic Thai palace, while the opposite end features a sleek, minimalist modern hotel. Between these are several well-rated three-star hotels, a popular family-friendly resort, stylish new guesthouses, and a large selection of locally run budget bungalows.

Many of the budget accommodations are set slightly back from the beachfront, along the dirt road leading toward the local boxing stadium, offering excellent value for money while still being within easy reach of the beach. With its mix of comfort, space, and variety, Nopparat Thara is a great choice for travellers who want beachside accommodation close to Ao Nang, but with a calmer and less crowded atmosphere.
